5 years used to be the norm, not so much anymore.

 

DS-6.25 years

PSP-7 years

360-8 years

Wii-6 years

PS3-7 years

 

All of the previous generation consoles had a 6-8 year cycle before their successor released and since 2004, Wii U is the only console to be replaced in under 6 years and that was because it was a massive flop.

you're looking at consoles that went through global recession

 

PS2 was 5 years. PS1 was 5 years. 

What are you talking about? PS2 release in 2000 (march in japan, end of the year in the US and europe), the PS3 released end of 2006 (early 2007 for europe). PS1 released end of 1994 in japan and fall 1995 in europe and the US. So the PS1 lasted nearly six years in japan, and five years in the west, but basically because Sony was adjusting the worldwide release dates nearer to each other.
