I guess I just don't really see how this 5 year cycle would be better than just sticking with the current 7 year model.

Radically changing your business model need to justify itself by bringing huge benefits.

It would be a change, but I wouldn't call it radical. Cross gen already exists, and between similar enough hardware. Devs are already making games that span 4 systems at a time, again, which are all similar enough hardware.

The main difference really would be marketing, because you'd now have 2 new systems that would likely be weaker than PS5 Pro, but would be considered next gen. Best case the PS6 console would be about equal to PS5 Pro. That would only be a problem for PS6 though because by PS7 you should be beyond PS5 Pro capabilities.

I just can't see the benefit, honestly.
