I guess maybe a little? I think Nintendo's next gen system will come out in 2017, with the PS5/XB2 coming out in 2019, so that could be a little confusing. Not as extreme as your example, though.

isn't that basically what Dreamcast did?

Exactly. It's not like something like this would be unprecedented.
