We used to have big console releases each several years apart (per company.) Now in recent times we have begun having smaller windows with smaller increments in the advancement of console technology.
For example:
PS1 1995
PS2 2000 Large increment
PS3 2006 Large increment
PS4 2013 Large increment
PS4 Pro 2016 Small increment
It's not so much a cycle as it used to be - it's now more of a regular increase in power, not a grand upgrade.
Now they release the one PS4 game disk that works over both the PS4 and PS4 Pro.
I'm also thinking of an interview Lorne gave where he told a story about asking the CEO of Sony when the PS5 will come out and he replied something like "I don't know if there will ever be a PS5."
And if there is still a cycle, it won't be until like 2022 when the next PlayStation comes out, so no rush for SoulStorm!
