Sega had an earlier console in 1983 called the SG-1000.

I feel like part of it was that the console revisions past 2008 aren’t as big of a deal as they were before. You also had publishers start producing games for multiple generations of consoles at the same time.

Games took way longer to make in the 7th gen and later, so 5 years for a console generation didn’t cut it anymore.
