PS3: 2017, or even later if they'll launch or boost it in new markets
XB360, PSP: 2016, XB360 even later at the same conditions as PS3, no extended life for PSP, instead, as Sony will need to focus on PSV more without using resources to keep its dad alive longer than naturally possible
Wii, DS: 2015, they could have had the longest lives together with the resurrected PS3, hadn't Ninty starved them to death so early.

2015 across the board. It's been a long generation so it will have a short transition. Maybe DS be dead and buried this year.

The reason this generation won't stick around as long into this gen IMO is that the 2 HD consoles were a bit ahead of their time and have already lasted 8 years in the limelight. The parts that make them up aren't going to get any cheaper considering they're all custom PPC SOCs (an architecture that's proved to be a dead end in a x86 and ARM based world) vs the newer consoles that are using commodity (x86) parts that will better benefit from industry process changes.

Most telling however is that the PS3 right now is retailing for $249 only $150 less than the PS4. At this time last gen the PS2 was $130 vs a $500 PS3. There's alot less economic incentive to keep these older more exotic systems alive
