That's exactly it. "Clear out our stock and feel real dumb in a couple months when we reveal the new one!"
Normally the ones who buy a console at the end of its lifespan are the ones getting the best deal. You have the entire library of games to choose from, and can get all the best games at once. Plus the system will have dropped in price multiple times since it came out, and the older games will cost a fraction of what they did originally. And of course, they'll have long since addressed any design problems that early models were plagued with.
At least, that's how it's supposed to go.
Nintendo? Drop prices?
