Gaming systems like the PlayStation console have evolved greatly over the years. It's been nearly six years since the Xbox 360 first debuted in the fall of 2005, and the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 3 were soon to follow in 2006. The typical life cycle of consoles is that new ones emerge no later than five years after the debut of the last iteration, but the newest generation seems to be an exception to this rule.
This could be due in part to the recession, but it's also likely that the Wii, PS3 and 360 are such hardy and versatile consoles that their self-life has been extended. Looking back at how far they've come, it's not hard to appreciate the current generation of gaming consoles for their HD graphics, online gaming, downloadable content and motion-controlled games which are all hallmarks of the current console age.
