psx went for 12 years, ps2 for 13 - so 10 years is actually a bit short in comparison.
the only console with a 5 year lifecycle in recent history was the gamecube, which isn't very surprising considering it was doomed from the start, being a shitbox with an awkward controller and a games library that was worse than that of the n64, which is quite a feat. didn't even get a decent zelda (no, i don't count TP) or mario game. oh wait, eternal darkness...nah. file that under n64 backwards compatibility 
now gimme gimme yakuza 5. and as much as i'd like to finally play p5, i doubt we'll see it before 2017. it's kinda funny that atlus basically managed to miss the whole ps3 life cycle.

To me the last game i got and will get is Rise of the Tomb Raider, i though i will want Yakuza 5 also but after trying 3 and 4 it's just not for me (I liked the story/cutscenes but gameplay not), i also deleted many games from my list, so i'm down to about 15 games and then i could finally buy PS4 and play The Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 as the hype is killing me.

same here, gameplay/fighting got stale after the first 2 and i also just play them for the story. but setting it to easy and just burning through the fights turns it into a nice movie with some button-mashing in between

No ones interested in Mighty No. 9?
I'm a big Mega Man and fan and this is the creator of Mega Man so it's a spiritual successor. I'd also be interested in Ori and the Blind Forest if it is still coming to Xbox 360. (but I have my doubts it is)

sure, but this is the official "reasons not to sell my last-gen console" thread. mighty no9 is coming out for all platforms, ori has been out for pc for ages, why not just play it there?

Well for me I want Mighty No. 9 for 360 for piracy I'm not much of a pc gamer and don't have a gaming pc. That's also why I want Ori for 360.

The game is an abomination not worthy of using the mega man name. 
But...  that you're not putting money in their pockets!  |

tbh bushwacka, you won't get much for selling them anyway. You'd be lucky to buy a new game out of the cash you would receive from the sale.

I never understood selling consoles. Are you 100% done with every game that ever came out for it that you are interested in that you can't play elsewhere? If not why sell it? I still have hundreds of hours from games that I can play thus I'll never sell it.

over time, the financial aspect is the least issue, i'm just not eager to own stuff i'll never be using again. when i was 20 or so, i was proud of my games library and console "collection", but nowadays? nah. if you're a collector, then more power to you - but as soon as i'm done with games, why bother storing them.
if i've learnt something over the last few years then it's that if a game doesn't make me want to finish it right here and then or has that magical "one more mission" feeling, it's usually simply below my standards and/or doesn't respect my time. if it's been sitting there for a moth or longer and i still haven't had the desire to play, let alone finish it, i almost never ended up liking it in the end.
it's probably an age thing besides simply having other priorities, but the only things these days i feel the need to have an archive of are books and music. and porn

For me it's because of moving to another country. Didn't have the space nor was I willing to pay significantly more to bring more of my collection over.
Still got my most precious ones with me while I gave the rest away. Probably will start collecting again when we move to a house.
When I was younger I sold my PSX and my Saturn (which I regretted afterwards) that was pretty much since I stopped playing them and wasn't as madly in love with them as my other consoles.
