First off, I think this generation will be quick for both Sony and Microsoft. They have no more aces up their sleeves (save maybe GT5) and the software has not driven the hardware in the long term, only price cuts have helped in the regard. After Move fails, and it probably will, expect the next system between 2011 and 2012.

I think Sony will be moving up market with the PS4. It's goal is going to try and push better graphics and sound as well as 3D, which they will see as the wave of the future. It wont do as much as the PS3 will and be Sony's Gamecube.

How is that quick? The only console to come out in the last 20 years to be around longer and still be selling is the PS2. Do you even know what you are talking about? The PS1 was about 5 years before the PS2 and the PS2 was about 6 before the PS3. If the PS3 came out in 2011 it would be 5 and 2012 would be 6. And again the 360 has already been out for a longer period than the original xbox and 2011 or 2012 would put it on the market significantly longer than it's predecessor.  

At most, it would be 6 years. It's not extremely fast (like 4 for the XBox), but given how long generations normally last at the minimum and the expectations of most people, it will be fast (or at least change fast).

It's interesting that you forgot every system before the PS1.
