Software and firmware updates allow hardware to stay current, even when more innovative hardware is introduced. There is an entire industry that proves it: computers. Maybe you've heard of them. TiVos and PS3s are nothing but specialized computers. The notion that you can make them futurproof, shipping on the release date with all necessary code to handle any formats or other technologies and bugs that will be thrown at them is silly and actually is part of the thinking that leads to poor product support.
