No, please. That'd be horrible. Every generation should be like the seventh, which lasted like eight years, and even then consoles still got support afterwards. A three-year ratio per new console would be disastrous IMO.

Neither that nor the OP scenario is ideal. 5-6 years with some support a while after that is a healthy time for a generation.
