Are current gen CEs going to lose their value?

[flatout]

That is basically what we are guaging... like I always say (and you did too) "something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it".

The reason why games that bridge to new gen will hold or become more worth more is because of the hype that follows (for a great example of right now, look at everything Bioshock on eBay right now then compare it to a year before and a year after now).
