It should be about time MS understands what Sony told them when PS2 ruled and XFlop 1, well, flopped: a console needed a lifecycle at least 5 years long then, now, with development costs skyrocketed, even more.
This doesn't mean that the new console must be launched 6 or more years after the previous, the old console, if good, can still keep on selling as lower end model when the new one is already for sale, just like PS2 is still doing (but honestly, XFlop 1 couldn't do the same also because MS signed very unfavourable supply contracts making its production prohibitive, but declaring from the start a short lifespan MS helped killing it)
