exactly, sullla
technology doesn't determine generation length, business strategy does...even if someone creates a machine more powerful than the NEXT generation of their competitors, they still aren't skipping a generation of launching if not the clear market leader...they will build a new console that they can position differently in the market to try to gain a larger share
gameboy wasn't very technologically advanced but it stuck around for so long because of lack of competitors that took chunk out of it...nintendo had no business reason to discontinue the gameboy and make a successor for many many years
