Let's hope not. Longer gens make consoles more worth it

and the games crappier and more boring and everything will look the same and the consumers feel fatigue and also PC hardware gets affected because noone needs to upgrade which results in less innovations in hardware and 10% boosts per PC-hardware-generation instead of 30+% boosts or whatever and as a result the next consoles will again be underpowered (compared to what could have been without the artificial slowdown that was caused by PS360 and noone upgrading hardware on PC etc)

Keep the consoles for 5 years and then kill them.

Nothing you have said has anything to do with better upgraded hardware. 

You seem to be of the school of thought that more power = more variety in game design and art.

You couldn't be more wrong if you tried.

Congratulations on focusing on the part (bold) that helps your argument

The games get crappier because devs  focus on wasting millions in upgrading visuals and squeezing 1 more effect 1 more polygon etc out of the games. Instead of making games better. If you give them better hardware they can make PS3 visuals on PS4 with almost no effort. (I am obviously NOT talking  about indies)

The hardware part is 100% correct innovations even start to skip desktops (intel  considers bringing new hardware to destops every 2 years now instead of every year. Laptops will still get new stuff every year) and since the PC tech was crap for a long time PS4 and XBO had to chose between underpowered PC hardware or even more underpowered PC hardare (compared to how the hardware could be if the last gen would not have lasted so long)

so much for your "Nothing you have said has anything to do with better upgraded hardware. "  btw what do you mean with "better upgraded"?
