Yep, I'm expecting Sony to still have 'generations' with one or two mid gen models in between while MS will just keep updating. It's exactly the same except the naming of the consoles, Sony will define their generation when they release the PS5 and 6 (with mid gen consoles in between) while MS will name their consoles like they're upgrades (Scorpio v1, Scorpio v2 etc). The thing is when Sony release the PS5, any Xbox console released within that time frame will be considered 9th gen along with the PS5. 

They all will have generations based on names. But there won't be much of a generation in the same way that an iPhone 6 isn't that much different from an iPhone 5.

As long as we have the same games across PS5/PS4neo/PS4 and XB2/XB1scorpio/XB1 then generations domt exist. 

I don't think we won't have generations period. I believe at some point game support for the PS4 og will be dropped. But the tradition would be handled differently. Something like this. 

PS4 2013 ------> PS4s 2016

PS4s + PS4n 2016 -----> PS5 2020

PS4s + PS4n+ PS5 2020 ----> PS5n 2023 ( it's at this point I expect support for PS4s to be dropped. Ganes coming out after 2023 will not have to have a PS4s mode/support. PS4n will still have support. 

 

Hold on to your breeches. Sony will keep on making Playstation generational consoles.

Here is a PS9 commercial from the future.
