What if the 9th gen launched with Standard and Premium hardware!

No we couldn’t. Look at PS4 pro and how big it is. The console with such power would have been even more bigger and less power efficient in 2013 because the original 2013 consoles had 28nm transistors while the new ones use 14nm. And if you just imagine the size and power consumption of that thing then it should be pretty clear that this would be console for no one. Those who want power would rather build a PC because there won’t be almost any difference in size and power consumption

I was talking more about the power, not the size and power efficiency...

I mean those things are nice, but the primary reason people are buying premium hardware is power.

Again... there are clearly people who want more powerful consoles without making the leap into PC gaming. These are still very different experiences and why consoles are still popular platforms.

I care very little about power efficiency on a console and size isn't really a concern I have... cost efficiency and tailored software+exclusives are... so PS4Pro launching at 2013 being 2 PS4 glued (it would be a little smaller since it wouldn't have 2 HDs, 2 Drives, 2 CPUs and 2 cooling system) wouldn't be a issue for me at a 599 price tag.
