I could see this, but much of it depends on Sony as well. If the PS5 launches in 2020 then there is no way Microsoft gives Sony years before launching something comparable. However, if Sony are also content to let it play out I could see Microsoft content to hold off until 2023-2025 before launching a successor. Longer life cycles are in these companies best interest to recoup investments and keep costs under control.
How many of us in 2005 thought we'd just see the PS4 in 2013? I know I figured 2012 at the very latest. The industry is changing.
