Would you buy a 9th or a 9.5th gen console???

In this scenario, I wouldn't get either. Gen 9.5 would offer a technological advantage to those playing against Gen 9.0 in multiplayer without any reliable way to balance them out. An obvious solution would be to separate the multiplayer environments, but that inevitably makes it harder to find matches to begin with and shortens the online longevity. Might as well just go all-in and make it Gen 10.

? PC gamers play today with a larger difference between the low end and the high end, and they do just fine. Netcode today gives a help to slow connections all the time and me in my optic fiber fast connection get the shaft many times and you don't see me crying. Netcode could balance that for sure, it's not rocket science. Ps4 gamers will have a chance this gen to play Street Fighter V with PC gamers, fighting games are way more sensitive to milliseconds reactions between winning and loosing than the FPS the majority plays today, so that argument is out the window.
