Point thats 5-year old would have sense if PS4 this year is selling worse than in previous year, but it's actually opposite, this year will be first or second best year for PS4 ever.

PS consoles are about longevity as opposed to spikes in sales. I’m sure you’ll agree with that.

Sony and MS are both getting boosts from have two SKUs and none of that "cosmetic upgrade only" bullshit, PS4 Pro and XBX1 are both huge upgrades and are buoying the "senior" years of these consoles. It's basically a sales fountain of youth. 

Mid-gen refreshes are the way of the future, Nintendo likely will follow suit with Switch, DSi and New 3DS already were going in that direction.
