This will be a short gen if Sony really wants to run away with 1st place.

Nintendo/MS can easily decide to "flip the board game" by jump-starting a new gen, like 360 did in 2005.

At the rate PS4 will succeed and continue to gain ground, I can see this gen ending as early as 4 more years.


Or Sony decides to wait for two years after MS' (in this scenario) early launch, watch the PS4 compete with MS' new box until they release an affordable, but powerful console which comparatively blows the Nextbox out of the water (think Wii U to PS4 power gap), which in turn could be devastating for xbox.

 

Launching early for is hardly risk free for MS.

 

Not to mention Sony won't screw up the PS5 launch the same way they did the PS3 launch, so the year (or two) headstart won't make that big of a difference.
