***Are we heading towards a 9th Gen console gaming situation?***
Not for another 5 years. Remember when people were saying the same thing last generation in only the 2nd year of the consoles? How did that turn out?
Nintendo's NX due, at the earliest, in late 2017, which would be the end of the standard 5 year cycle.
However, they've mentioned that it's not going to completely replace the Wii U, making me believe it may be some sort of device that hooks up to the Wii U to expand its capabilities.
Given the fact that they said, long ago, that the Wii U is upgrade-able, that would make sense, and I, for one, would be interested to see such a thing...
This might be a bit simplistic, but I imagine it would function like an evolved form of the N64's Expansion Pack.
It depends on sales not some made up life cycle time line.
