Movie shouldn't be about how a character fulfils their job description. They're stories about how that character develops and interacts. That said, where's the movie with this dialog:
Engineer/Programmer: Hi honey. Wife/Partner: Hi. How was your day? E/P: Well, I spent four hours refactoring some other guy's code and it was hell because he didn't comment. In the afternoon we lost four production lines because of unfiltered, low-quality power supply. How hard is it to get a UPS which monitors power quality and issues an alert? W/P: What's a refactory?
I'm sure that manufacturers will consider making hardware which lasts that long as soon as the great unwashed consider using hardware for that length of time. Why not start asking now for that extra 2k of RAM?
I can just see fat, bearded guys with ponytails across the world returning to places of purchase saying, "Yes, finally. I would like to return your quote unquote, Ultimate TV."
And being met with lines like, "Whoa, whoa. A fat, sarcastic Linux fan. You must be a devil with the ladies."
Thanks be to Matt Groening and the people at SNPP.
Perhaps it's because the parents of console kiddies are getting weary of shelling out X hundred dollars for a new console every time the latest one comes out, not to mention the cost of new games because the aforementioned children are throwing tantrums about wasting the hardware on their old games.
The technological leap forward that many new consoles are just doesn't make much difference to parents who need to compare the amount of money required to keep their children entertained and stimulated and the amount of money required to pay mortgages. Each new console seems to come out quicker than the previous generation did and to the uninformed, there's no real difference between the two.
The bottom line is that a large section of the target market is children with no income, children who relay on convincing their parents to buy it for them and it seems that some parents can no longer earn enough money to keep up with this cycle.

In Soviet Union, ALICE downloads you!
And "One Minute Of Silence" by The Planets. Lawyers with the rights to Cage's work are in dispute over the Planets' track.
Maybe the planet needs a bumper sticker.
"If you can read this, you're too close."
That'll keep those pesky asteroids away.
