The long console cycle this generation has been a great thing for consumers - we are still seeing incredible limits being pushed on both the Xbox and PS3, and has been a tremendous boon for the public, who are no longer on $400-500-every-2-years upgrade cycles.
If you really want to be at the very bleeding edge of what's possible in gaming, the PC market is alive and well. The console market is more affordable and consequently more inclusive.

I doubt this. There's a [very small] market for a product like this. The power of the internet is that this [very small] demographic can come together, pool their resources, and create something they all want. This does not mean that there's a mass-market or mainstream product waiting to jump out.
