It's not devs that decide when a new generation is in order, it's when the sales curve starts going downwards. With a new model and lack of cheaper slim model the peak will be reached later, lengthening the generation.
Duming down has nothing to do with how long a gen is, sequelites setting in is a valid concern though.

Maybe, but the "stale" issue remains. I can't handle another 8 year gen. The 360 and PS3 should have been replaced in 2010 or 2011 imo.

Last gen lasted so long it went past stale to good again with Dishonered, Journey, Twd, Tlou, Ni No Kuni. But yeah, 2019 sounds like a good time for the next switch, though I'm guessing it will be 2021 with these mid gen refreshes and Nintendo squeezing in an extra generation.
