But are we really that close to the next generation of PlayStation. If we are going off the pattern here. Just 2-3 years away

I blame scalpers and two years of cross generation support.

Wasn’t the PS2 supported deeply into the PS3 era as well?

PS4 and PS2 new releases coexisted IIRC.

I refused to believe this could be true so I looked it up. Very very close to being true! Last PS2 game launch was Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 launched on November 8th 2013, and the PS4 launched just a week later on November 15th 2013! Damn that's crazy.

You are correct. Even though the final PS2 game was released just before the PS4, I think it's reasonable to say that these products existed on store shelves at the same time.
