I would love to have stronger consoles, they should design a console that is sold for a high profit but by request of the buyer only, a console comparable to ultra high-end PCs capable of running 8k, that would allow me to get rid of gaming PCs since I only use mine for gaming... Both instances are highly unlikely to happen though, since video game services are most likely to provide the game by streaming and not a native source. And 2 or more very different iterations of one console completely defeats the purpose of consoles, which is having a closed system to avoid having to work on many versions of the same game. |
The thing is, like i say in the op, the architecture would be the same, just different steps of power, besides it does not defeats the purpose of consoles, if it did, all games would be console exclusive, no multiplatform. Its easy to port for other architectures with todays almost agnostic engines, imagine just a power difference inside the same architecture. It would be just like turning knobs down. (hyperbole here)
Has for the first part of your comment, people need to understand that nothing, ever will beat local hardware, yes services might rise and be successful, but local hardware will always beat those services and it will take much more than just 4 years in to change that.
