Each generation of playstation is
1) different box (re-skinned)
2) upgraded CPU/GPU/Memory
3) upgraded media input
4) new OS
People have come to see new hardware as just increase in power. That is exactly what Scorpio and PS4Pro are to XboxOne and PS4, respectively. The only reason software shifts so much between gens and not in this case, is because other gens have changed to completely different custom built CPU/GPU architecture. Now they are following mobile philosophy. They are focusing on a singluar architecture that will scale as they want to every couple years allowing no drastic overhauls of OS or gaming architecture going forward. Removing the disruption he is referring to in the post.
This means every iteration going forward will be a newly skinned box with increase in power... just like PS4Pro.
