It is true the ps4 and xbox one are selling better, but I gurantee you (Microsoft more than likely) will end this generation by 2018 to get a year head start. Sony will either have to follow suit or run the risk of having a year disadvantage which can be deadly (especially for North America). Games will still be release on the xbox one/ps4 for about 6 to 7 years.

While it's possible, there is really no evidence to support this claim.

 

With development costs and time getting longer and longer, shorter generations would hurt development cycles. I see little reason for Sony or MS to throw them off. Especially in a business that is built on software sales.


Games will still be released on PS4 and Xbox one. The days of huge upgrades between consoles are over. Heck, the difference between PS4/PS3 and Xbox One/Xbox 360 isn't that huge compare to other generations. Just think of it like PC gaming where we upgrade graphics cards every few years. You can still play newer games on your outdated graphics card, it just won't be as good looking and won't run as well. That is also why Microsoft changed the name of the new xbox to xbox one. The next xbox will more than likely be called xbox two to keep things less confusing and it reflects what the iPhone is doing.
