Console generations are getting longer and longer. In the past it was common to get new console generations every 5 years, with the PS360+ era we got a 7 year generation, and now with PS5/Xbox Series Microsoft revealed in the Activision trial that they expect this generation to last until 2028, so 8 years. One of the reasons this is happening is due to the slowdown of technological advancements. Chips are too complex and we're reaching the physical limits of silicon.
If it were up to you, how often should new generations be released? Mind you that I'm not talking about mid-gen refreshes, but brand new console generations.
Personally I feel like 7+ years is too much, but 5 is too little. 6 seems like the sweet spot to me.
