Can't really agree with that, yes PS3 lasted longer than other consoles, but they always made a completely new franchise based on the capabilities of the new system. Also they effectively made one new franchise in about every five years. Even with The last of Us we have only gotten one new franchise from them in the last 10 years(Uncharted will be 10 years old next year).

That's not how you look at it if you are looking from game to game year differences.
If a new game comes out every five years, then 4 years after the newest one you'll have 1 new IP within the last 9 years, always.
If TLOU released 2013, by your 5 years cycle, it has until 2018 to deliver a new IP, or 2019 as Uncharted to TLOU was 6 years, not 5.
So there is really no discrepancy on that right now.

I get your point, there seems to be a pattern of new franchises being fewer and farer in between and older ones being milked out more. I guess it's Uncharted 4 that messed up the time frame, and i was already afraid this would happen when the announced that game. I would rather have hade TLOU2 already instead of Unharted 4, but that's just my personal preference.
