1 nm is the size of 10 Hidrogen atoms. So we are talking sizes of 70 atoms for a transistor. They don´t have much room left for miniaturization.

PS5 will be used as a Hydrogen bomb confirmed.

FOR A PS6 TO HAVE A REASON TO EXIST , it should be a 8k console.

I think the way you reached this conclusion was pretty farfetched. Pemalite said most of it, but I want to point out that the size of out TV's are not the primary reasons for new consoles to come out.

Is the only reason SNES exists so that people could play it on larger TV's? Because people kept playing on the same TV's for generations. Some times literally the same TV's up until PS1/PS2, when they just stopped working due to old age.
The only exception to this really was when the HD consoles came out. And it wasn't specifically 720p or 1080p, because both PS3/360 and PS4/XBO work fine for both formats to this day. It was just that you had to get an HD TV. That was it.

Around the time PS3 came out, 1080p TV's were already pretty common and cheap. For me there was no change in TV between PS3 and PS4.
And to this day you have some games that are sub 1080p on PS4, and very commonly on Xbox One. And some people still game on 32" TV's, and their experience compared to people who have bigger TV's isn't the equivalent of going from an SD TV to an HD TV.
The most preferred way to play Switch is portable (720p) mode. Etc.

New consoles have not had their existence tied to new TV trends in the past, and they don't have to in the future.

Great post. I somewhat agree with you.

The prediction is that ps5 will have the longest lifecicle. You have to justify a new gen. At least It would be great if we have a real new gen.

NES had better CPU, Better graphics, more ram. That alone doesn´t make a new gen, you need games that take advantage of that. New ways of playing (aka wii, Swith, psvr), new experiences, and most consoles (not nintendo recently) achieve that with bigger worlds, more character interaction (need more cpu, physics and ram),  more content (from cartridges to DVD , blue rays) and better graphics (better graphic card or gpu). 

Let say PS5 has a Ryzen CPU, (much better than atom or jaguar shitty cores). 24 - 32 GB of ram,  2TB hard drive, 4k Blue Ray and a 10 Teraflop capable GPU.

Would that be enough for a new experience? would that be a gen jump like the old ones before it? could be , but I see diminishing returns. Anyway, PS5 is in developement, It´s happening. And let say PS5 took 7 years since PS4. It does´n look like an awesome leap if it has the specs shown above. 

Luckily 3 times the CPU power. 5 times the GPU power, 4 times the amount of ram. A far cry from older gen jumps. Now I dont prentend to be extremely precise here, or Permalite would correct every world. hehe.

Now let say we are now in 2020. how long it would take to have a machine capable of being a true next gen, with a reason to exist, a PS6 that makes the PS5 look obsolete and people wanting to buy it? I say longer than any other PS before it. 9 years probably. Unless suddenly they start making processors diferently, and those things still take time. Again, Im not saying that there won´t be PS5 pro , ultra or megadeath after PS5.  That PS6 machine as marketing goes now, will have to have a graphic jump to justify next gen, next gen 4k, or ultra quality 4k 60 fps if you like, for that it needs the same requirements as for 8k medium settings, thats why I say that it needs to be 8k. I just dont see people investing in new consoles just because it has more ram or more cpu power to make better worlds.

What happend  from ps3 to ps4. When you take full advantage of cell processor on ps3 its not very different performance wise than ps4 processor. But graphic card took a leap from arround 240 megaflops to 1840. Why? because Sony decided that PS4 needed better graphics, cause people get caught by it.

Does ps4 games have much better CPU physics? hello, Call of duty modern warfare, call of duty WW2? Uncharted 3 vs Uncharted  4? Gran Turismo 5 vs GT sports? No. But surelly all those games have better graphics. And thats why I put graphics first as a requirement for a next gen console. Most men see boobs and buts before getting to know the girl. same with games. So whatever, PS6 would need next gen ultra 4k or 8k and many other stuff to justify its existence after PS5 and it will take a hell of time to make it. Otherwise they can make an unjustifiable next gen just for selling something.
