And why would that be? It works in the PC business, right? People buy hardware upgrades when the hardware needs it, and upgrade software to get fixes and features.

Sometimes the new software is too heavy for the old hardware, mandating an upgrade.

Bring out new shiny hardware and people will buy it. Bring out (almost) the same hardware with new firmware and people will not upgrade in masses.
