Duh. How else are they supposed to sell old out-of-date consoles? Slap on some useless thingamagig, give it a new name and sell it.
Same practices are used in businesses around the world, such as pharmaceutical drugs. When sales fall low, modify the drug molecule with some oblique method, call it "Drug name v2.0", claim that it is better in some way than the previous version, and sell it.
