2028 is only 1 year longer than the previous generation and is the same length between the Xbox 360 and Xbox One at 8 years. An extra year or 2 makes sense with the slow transition when it comes to software releases. Despite the fact the Xbox Series X|S is the fastest selling Xbox generation and the PS5 would be ahead of the PS4 if it wasn't for the shortages.
