The game industry is ignorant but not suicidal. At least Nintendo and Sony aren't.
Put better hardware in the consoles, i'd rather pay more money for somthing that lasts a good 7+ years that isn't hardware tapped untill the last couple of years.
I'm pretty sure the Wii U is built to last. Sony's are generally reliable so we will have to wait and see the PS4. As for the 720 it will most likley rely on a DRM server giving it a 7 year life span at the longest.
The crash is coming and I think it's unavoidable now, people have gotten way too greedy, quick get under your tables!!!
Gloom and Doom galore. Why do so many people think the industry is that stupid.
Well, out of the three console makers, Nintendo is the only one I see surviving this "crash". The others probably won't see value in games. Which would mean Nintendo would have gone through two crashes. (sort of. They started making The NES and released during the last crash).
I'm sure Sony will stay afloat too. I'm just not that sure about the NextBox. Even if M$ has the most money no one will want a system that runs on a DRM server.
