They where still big in the mid-late 90's since the N64 was the second most popular console next to the PS1 from 1995 - 2000 at that time.

My guess is that E3 2016 will be about the NX and Nintendo will try to release it sometime in 2017. It won't surprise me if the PS5 and X4 will be out by 2018. We normally get two console generations in the same decade.

I doubt that. PS3 and 360 had an insanely long lifespan and I doubt it will be any different for One and PS4.

By 2018, the PS4 and XO will be five years old. Consoles tend to have a new system out by 4-7 years later after the last one. I think the PS5 could be out by 2018 or 2019. I think 2019 might make more sense since Sony consoles have a 6-7 life cycle.

I don't know why the PS3 and 360 where on the market for so long? I remember major titles stop coming out on the PS2 by 2008. I think the PS3 and 360 are pretty much done anyways. More developers are starting to move on current systems like they always do a year or two after the next gen systems are out.

Personally I'm not expecting new consoles from those two till 2020-2021 at the earliest.

I also won't want the current gen systems to last that long on the market or otherwise the next gen systems will look out of date by the time when they are released. Consoles since the PS2 have been known to fall behind PC's by two-three years when it comes to graphics.

Five years is too soon nowadays for new consoles though, so I hope we don't see them until 2019. It also doesn't help that we are nearly done with the second year of next gen console and nothing truly next gen has been released.
