Consoles are not phones. Console sales will die if the generations are short. Phones are necessities, Consoles are luxuries. Cutting the gens short would be idiotic.
I'm surprised that people actually believe next gen we will see conventional consoles.
All the signs point to virtual consoles in the 9th generation, fully absorbed into the PC space.
I expect this last generation to be long if not the longest, if the advent of cloud and gaikai are to be believed.
The PS4 will probably go through at least 3 redesigns until the PS5 is a microconsole of some sort that excels in streaming.
