The thing is if Sony really are not going to release in the next five years it is unlikely that the 360 should feel the need to release 3 years prior. The PS3 and its perceived power advantage will mean diddly if a new console came out. The PS3 would be old tech no matter what the Sony Execs like to think.
Luckily for Sony, Microsoft are probably happy to milk this generation for a while yet. Without any real competition (new console) they will continue to tinker with the existing gen whilst working on future prototypes just to be ready.
If any console has a need to launch early it will be the Wii as it is definately tied into the old cycle but current sales would suggest that the Wii has no need to launch yet either.
I am sure all three will have magic trigger points that will begin the cycle, I just do not think it will be X number of years.
