Last system they had to peak in their fourth fiscal year was the DS. It launched holiday 2004 and 3DS launched spring 2011, so that is approx. 6.5 years. I think this move actually cut into the legs of the DS, but they also had to worry about staggering the release of home and handheld systems at the time, so I can see why they did it.
Now Nintendo is in a similar situation, but this time they don't have to worry about balancing home and handheld resources during a console transition. So the very earliest would be a holiday 2023 release, but I think holiday 2024 is even more likely. There is no point in releasing a successor if sales are still fairly high.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
