If however a new console is about to be released "your" card won't last for a year (see what happened to X1XXX series - great products which had the bad luck to be released about/around the time the new consoles were coming out).

It's a sad state of affairs but computer hardware's evolution is not "independant" anymore...
ah well, got to buy things anyhow
dont play with consoles not likely to start anytime either.
