Nope. Which ever company that has the dominate console supports that console until it is no longer viable. If there is an even split of market shall no system recieves much support after its successor has been launched. Only truly dominating systems have long lifespans. NES, GB, PS1, and PS2 all had long shelf lives because they were dominant. The SNES had long lifespan (8 years) but fell short of the ten year mark because it was only dominant in Japan.
