With HDTV adoption just now taking off, and your average console buyer (read: soccer mom) still in awe of the graphics capabilities of current consoles, and the fact that the aforementioned console buyers can't see the difference between 480i and 1080p... a new console would be a tough sell. If I remember correctly, both the xbox360 and ps3 were originally sold at a loss. Why would Microsoft or Sony want to start making new machines that were not obviously better and suddenly lost money in the middle of a global recession? Methinks my xbox 360 will be around for a while longer, that is, unless I get a 4th red ring of death.
