Everyone, the next-gen consoles aren't coming out too soon. It's 2003 now. It will soon be 2004...then a solid year after that, 2005. Then almost a full year after that (end of 2005) is when the FIRST next-gen consoles are supposed to debut. The PS2, GC, and XBox still have almost two years ahead of them. They're following the typical console rule: 5 years. Most gaming consoles last 5 years before they are replaced, and this is going the same for the current systems.
2005 and 2006 is a great schedule for the next-gen consoles. PS2 is getting aged now. It came out in 2000! A 2006 release date for PS3 would make the PS2 SIX years old by then. That's longer than the PS1 lasted.
GC2 and XBX2 are rumored to release in late 2005 which would put them at the 4-year mark which I agree is a little early. I honestly think GC2 and XBX 2 will be pushed into 2006 as well.
