Game consoles

I wish Nintendo would span the consoles out farther to at least give my system time to get worn out before a new one comes in. I just bought my gamecube a few years ago, maybe about five, and the revolution is coming out this year. I'm just glad it's backwards compatable.

My N64 is just getting a little worn out, and I remember skipping SNES entirely because N64 came out by the time my NES system wore out entirely. Although I think we replaced a part at sometime for the NES.

They do get a lot of games out as it is, but you have to pay hundreds of dollars for the new systems, and they stop making games for the old systems. You may wonder why I would still buy N64 games when I have a gamecube. It's because my N64 isn't ready for the trash can yet. The joystick on the controller is, but the system is doing fine.

I can remember working on my old NES for five minutes trying to get it to turn on. If you could get it to start, it worked just fine. They don't need to come out with new systems every five years. The span between systems should be longer than the system's warranty.

Well my Snes is still going, those systems N64 and backwards came with Lifetime warranty, they were built to last, but now as the demand grows stronger and technology powers along there is no time to stuff around. they need to keep up with the competition.

They did this once. And they must have had a pretty dang good reason to not do it again. Also Nintendo builds its consoles to last a long time. My NES and every Nintendo console up still works perfectly. The reason that they don't space their consoles further apart is so that they don't fall behind the competition.
