My guess is that current generation consoles will be supported for at least the first year of next generation consoles' lifespans.
This is because:
1) They'll need to help the transition phase, as not everyone will immediately jump ship or be able to afford next-gen consoles, and
2) Current gen consoles is still, and will still be, the largest audience when next-gen consoles just come out. It's more profitable to have more platforms, although this does increase the risk of technical faults in our games.
For the early days, I think the big difference between current and next-gen games (if the game is on both generations like The Evil Within) will be the graphical enhancements and absence of loading times on next-gen platforms.
