So I was thinking, lets just assume that this current gen will last the same amount of time as the previous gen (Ps2, xbox, gamecube one). By this I mean a new xbox in 4 years and a new Playstatoion in 6.

>> Now does anyone seriously think that if Microsoft was to release a new console in 2009 (2005 + 4) that Sony would wait until 2012 (2006 + 6) to release a new console?

That would mean that the 2 were in completly different "gens".

    Sony and MS will both launch around the same time. Remember the PS3 was supposed to be out in a lot sooner than it did.
    I expect the next round in 2010 or so.

Do you honestly think M$ will release a new console in 4 years if they actually start making profit off of their gaming devision?

Good point. I just got the idea of the 4 year thing off the amount of people (mainly sony fans..) who post stuff like: "At least our console wont be outdated in 4 years"

Only time will answer that question. But probably.
