Every year would be too much. The nicety about consoles is that a game can be guaranteed to run the same for everyone. So much hardware differentiation will leave a lot of consumers unsatisfied with their hardware very, very quickly. Developers would also have the challenge to make sure their games are optimisable widely so they capture the most audiences possible. I also think generations are an increasingly outdated concept, but yearly is a bit much. 2-3 years could be more reasonable and give everyone - consumers and developers - a bit more time to settle in to their hardware choices.
