It seems like they're looking to keep these consoles at a ten year cycle much like the last round of consoles. So I don't think the price is nearly as bad as when they were switching out consoles every 4-5 years.

Bang for your buck? You'll be paying $60 a game and $50 a year to play video games on a piece of hardware that's a decade behind the times. Consoles are nice for convenience but you aren't getting any "bang for your buck" out of it's hardware. Especially when there is little chance these consoles hold up for the full cycle.
