This is by far the longest life-cycle of any generation. None others are even close. The length of life the 360/PS3 have gotten are otherwise unprecedented. If they had followed the models of past cycles, we'd have a new console right now, or at least by this fall, and the PS4 by next fall.
The point is: the hardware is just old. I can't make that point strongly enough. It's just a relatively ancient structure. Put it this way: my iPhone has as much RAM as these units. Developers are absolutely begging for the new consoles to have at least, no less, than 8GB of RAM (which is the amount you'd find in your average-to-low-end gaming PC). The current generation has 512MB. It's just not a competitive experience, and both consoles are losing a lot of people to PC.
