Many reasons apply to 2017 just as good.

There seems to be talk about MS selling the XBOX divsion.
This would be the opposite.
Console and game development has to start this year already, latest early next year, for a 2017 launch.
So that would mean MS is already focused on their next console and will be sending out devkits to activision ea ubisoft capcom sega and square enix in the coming months.

You think those companies want that?
Of course not. No one has time to work on games for a next xbox coming in 2017. Including MS.

It's fast, but it's been done before.  Xbox 360 was introduced just 4 years after the original Xbox.

They would send early devkits about 2 years before launch, so around end of 2015 for a 2017 launch.
