  100% agree. Google has the same problem. They are like hyper 5 year olds chasing the next shiny ball that gets their attention and they forget about all the other cool toys they already have. Products take generations to get refined enough for non-early adopters to buy. But way too few products from these companies get a long enough life to get multiple generations

    Edit: also XBox (the console) is failing - they sell them at a loss

    I was with you until here. That's the model with console games, the money is in selling everything ELSE. You have to have hardware to do that.
