Yeah, I'm not really seeing devices that could last anywhere over 6 years max either.... I could see 6 due to Playstation may want to ride the popularity of this gen so they will have no reason to rush a system out, and Xbone may want to wait for Playstation to strike first to see what they are competing against. If Playstation doesn't announce something year 5 though, then both will strike around the same time year 6 (as well as release it later that year). Other than that, they take the risk of Nintendo (which will more than likely release a console 2017 and being on the market for 5 years and some months) having the most powerful console on the market for over 2 years. Not a great marketing strategy if power is your most attractive feature.
