Maybe because no gen have ever be this long as last gen?
PS3/360 where really powerful machines when released so they could keep in the market for a really long time.
PS4/XBO are already mid-range tech, so I find hard to it to be as long as the last gen, but sure as long as other gens, with a 5 to 6 years until the next.

With games budget skyrocket 3rd party would want a longer gen to reduce the increase of budgets look at how 3rd party still support old gens with games.
pc will always be stronger then consoles if all people care only about graphics they would all go to pc

I don't remember talking about graphics at all.
More powerful machines means more room to improve gaming itself, not only graphics.
What I don't understand is why people DO believe it will be as long the last gen, with 4/5 gens saying it will be 5 to 6 years lifespawn and 1/5 gen saying it will be 9 to 10 years lifespawn. Data is telling us that it have a 80% probability of being 5 to 6 years, I'm just going with it. But yes, that same data was giving us a 100% chance to it to happen last gen and even so last gen went off it, so it happens, but it's atypical.
Game developing always get more and more expensive, it's not safe to say that just because it's getting more expensive again it will take a longer gen again.
PS4 is a point against it. With so much people already jumping to it game sales are bound to increase too so one thing go against the other.
As Destiny is too, a really expensive game (maybe even the most expensive ever) that is bound to pay itself with ease.
Another point is again the mid-range tech that the consoles have as I have said, which is good tech but don't seems like it can endure as long as last gen could.
So I'm not saying it can't happen again, but I just think it's unlikely.

Pc will always be more powerfull then console too like every gen.
Which data say this gen will only last 5 or 6 years?
I think the fact that many 3rd party release cross-gen is a sign that 3rd party won't longer gen.
Not every games will sold like Destiny so many third party will have less revenue then before because of budget skyrocket ,game developing with get more expensive but with longer gen it will slow down it a bit.
I don't say it can't happen that this gen will be short but i don't see enough proof to believe that
