I like a generation to occur when the technology is ready to deliver a significant leap on all fronts. With the rate at which technology is growing, I would like to see generations get even longer, but have optional upgrades like PS4 Pro and XBO X come out more regularly. The next generation is coming about 2 years too early based on what I am seeing. I think a PS4 Premium this year on 7nm with a 3GHz Jaguar and a 10TFLOPs GPU would have suited us just fine, until a full generational leap was ready in 2022.
I really hope that Microsoft and Sony have built the PS5 and Scarlett with many upgraded models in mind. I wouldn't mind upgraded models every 2 - 4 years depending on new tech, with PS6/XB5 not arriving until 2030 at the earliest.
With development cycles lasting 3, 4, 5, or even 6 years now, the idea of a 4 - 6 year console cycle is hysterical. At that rate, we would have console that never get a lot of AAA franchises as development time would completely skip generations. Much better off giving developers time to build towards a controlled architecture, and allow them to easily scale up to upgraded devices within the same architecture for those that want to go after higher resolutions and frame rates in the console space.
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
