Xbox One & PS4 generation to last 5-6 years, says EA’s Soderlund
Speaking with MCV, Soderlund said, “This console cycle may have gone on a little bit longer than I would have wanted,” and added, “At the same time, you have seen games like The Last of Us and GTA V at the end of a cycle which perhaps you would not have expected a few years ago. But a five, six year gap is what I expect going forward.”
Moving forward and innovating is key however, and Soderlund feels that EA is capable of doing just that. Next stop: Titanfall. He reckons that praise for Respawn’s shooter has proven this fact. “That response is telling us that gamers don’t want to play the same game every year,” he continued. “And even the games we build on an iterative basis, we have to make sure we keep on innovating or people won’t give us their money.”
Do you think the current cycle will be shorter than the PS3 and Xbox 360 generation? Let us know what you think below.

Sorry but it wont be the case that games will be going natively to 4K resolution or even up scaling to it anytime soon in the next few years. Maybe 10 but not in 5 years. People are bitching about the file sizes of games now and this is uncompressed to go to 4k natively the file size would be at least 5 times as much.
There would need to be a complete change in processes much like the Ps2 to Ps3 level. SO far we are no where close to that type of change.

creesusdaRealRush I say this generation will last maybe a year or so longer. But, who knows!

To say that current gen will last 5 - 6 years is crazy, especially from EA, all they do is add DLCs to everything and make games freemium and mess them up. But a few more years added to that, as far as i know the next big thing will be 4k resolution, it's already out but when it becomes for available and affordable there will be more flexibility and advancements but Xbox One has 4k support so theres that.

More like 4-5 years. Every consoles from here on in will be decreasing in life span. You can just get a computer and upgrade every 4 years for like $200 instead of buying a whole new console for $400 or $500
