I don't think this gen is ending anytime too soon. The consoles aren't even coming close to being maxed yet. And ending it within 2 years would almost certainly be suicidal considering how much the companies have got invested into this generation. Most would still be recovering losses whilst others wouldn't have made enough money from this generation. And then looking at the economic outlook (globally) it would make more financial sense to keep with current gen and trying to make that cheaper, rather than trying to release new products which would cost alot, into a market when consumer confidence is at an all time low, and spending on luxury/leisure goods takes a back seat.
