The gaming circle of life is as such. Console is released. People ooh and ah. A few years down the road, they want to ooh and ah again. The lure of something new can be great, but when you already have something good it can often be worth it to just be happy. New England Gamer discusses the merits of continuing the current generation of consoles for as long as possible.

The funny thing is I’m not that guy when it comes to video games. I look at my PS3 all scuffed up from various moves, its unused USB slots caked with dust, and I am satisfied. I want the current generation to limp along as long as possible. Some might woe the launch of the Move and Kinect as the furthering of that annoying motion fad, but my greatest hope is that these new peripherals will extend the life of the PS3 and Xbox 360 in a genuinely meaningful way.
