Maybe. 5 or 6 years is too short. They just need to release games in the console gen's later years and I doubt anyone would have any issues with the gen lasting too long.

I don't know about that. The PS1 and PS2 both had successors ~6 years after their launch and they were perfectly fine. Also, with the rise of cross-gen releases it isn't like the last gen system will suddenly get all support cut off.


A console gen does not end when the successors are released. Nintendo always ends the support for their consoles prematurely in my opinion. MS is following Sony's plan on supporting their consoles for a long time.
