Market fatigue. By the end of console generations, people buy less games; thus, the arrival of new consoles re-ignites the gaming industry and raises interest of future games.

Will need to see what the new consoles do.  Are we at a place where merely a new console with better graphics alone, is going to be enough to revitalize?  Fatigue could be completely over the videogame industry itself.

This happens at the end of every console cycle.  Interest fades, and new hardware reignites that interest.

True, there is no guarantee that the peak of the next gen will top the peak of this gen.  But there is no question that it will bring a boost.
