Some nice data there. I understand what you saying if you are looking at things historically but I can't see this gen being as long as gen 7.

Of course it won't be as long as last gen. Last gen was much longer than the norm. Had the 7th gen been anything like a normal generation, we probably would've seen the PS4 & XBO debut no later than 2011. The 8-year gap between the 360 & XBO and 7-year gap between the PS3 & PS4 was unheard of. 5-6 years had been the normal gap between systems of a given brand, with 4 years happening very rarely (I think the only 4-year gaps were between the Xbox & 360 and the Saturn & Dreamcast). I think the PS5 and Xbox 4 will likely launch in either 2018 or 2019. My current projections for the eighth gen assume a 2019 launch for next-gen (excluding the NX, which likely won't be a conventional system knowing Nintendo).
