In recent news, It is believable that if console developers spend more time than the average 4 years to make a console, wouldn’t it be better to take maybe 7 or 8 years to release?

I know the ps3 took maybe 6 years, but if the 360, for example, took maybe atleast 2 years more, it would have been better, in my opinion. Now your opinion may be different, due to the fact it would have been released after the other two.

how come consoles this time need so many updates? what happened to the good times when you bought ur console and it had everything you wanted and there was no need for updates?

Yeah I remember my N64 how there was no need for updates and all that stuff, now with my 360, theres always a fall and spring update.

and PS3 has firmware updates frequently. and the Wii.. I dont think there is updates yet (on the console).
