The only Nintendo console with a short life cycle I can remember is the Gamecube... probably because it got its ass handed to it in that generations war. I am not surprised it hopped out there around the release dates of the 360 and PS3 before it lost any momentum at all.
Am I wrong, or is there other consoles that have short life spans by Nintendo... from what I can tell they let there consoles mature and age too much! (the freakin' virtualboy does NOT count... it just failed miserably and Nintendo yanked it, but did not replace it).

Rough estimates only
NES 11 years
SNES 10 years
N64 6 years
GCN 5 years
GB/GBC 12 years
GBA going on 5 years
DS going on 2 years
I suppose you can say the life cycle is shortening. 11 years vs 5. But how many things last you 10 years these days? Nothing I can think of. Computers and other electronics are "obsolete" within a year usually.
