I'm not sure I wanna see the numbers for the overall lifespans... I'd find it too depressing. 
I think one of the problems is that a lot of game companies are trying to appeal to a much wider audience than those they were trying to appeal to back in the day... I mean, the Wii is pretty much a system that caters to people who never played games before, because most titles hardly seem like games. There is so much garbage that sucks.
Granted, game consoles have had crappy games in EVERY generation. It's just that it seems like they churn them out faster than ever these days.
