I just bought a washing machine with a ten year warranty, to replace one made in the 80's for which there are still official spare parts (but that I felt was better off being replaced than repaired). You can find companies who are in it for the long haul, but it is true that most aren't.

Washing machines don't have twice as much wash performance after five years, though. Apples and soup cans.

With all the indie & low tech games around, I suspect console power doesn't double the enjoyment/thrill factor every 3-5 years either.
