    Should anybody mention something called "The Osborne Effect" to them?

    Do you even know what your talking about?

    Nintendo just didn't release the Wii, so talking about a better machine coming out isn't going to kill it like it did Osborne.

    The Wii came out 5 or so years ago, it's more then time for talks about new machines to come out. Just because Sony & MS thinks they can expand the console lifetime doesn't mean other companies are that stupid.

    No, that makes it 5 year old hardware. The i7 is effectively a pentium 1 on steroids, but that doesn't make it 18 years old....
