I heard that both Sony and Microsoft are trying to get as much out of their current systems as possible and won't be releasing a new one until at least 2014.

This is true. Sony has had a 10 year life-cycle starting with the PS1, so they claim and Microsoft is also moving towards that direction.
The reason is, there's just not enough room to improve the software to make a sustainable profit for an entire new system. Developers won't tap the full capacity of potential of the PS3 for a few more years and I think developers are closing in to peaking out with the 360 already.
The Sony CEO claims they designed the PS3 to be difficult for developers on purpose to keep it relevant for a longer period of time.
