I probably won't get the PS5/Xbox 2 as I expect there won't be a significant graphical leap going from the PS4 Pro to the PS5.
While not on a total hyper realistic scale, we as gamers can say beyond reasonable deniability that we've officially reached the point where visual rendering and character models look like real people, especially regarding faces.

Aloy (HZD) looks like a real person, they near perfectly re-created Kevin Spacey for Advanced Warfare, Kratos looks like a real person, etc etc etc... I'm fully aware the 7nm tech will be of great benefit, but as far as visuals go - I think we've hit a wall. I don't know where everyone else started their gaming hobby, but I've come a LOOOOONG way since the Super Nintendo... I'll be 32 years old when the PS5 lands (assuming it's Q4 2022 release date) and I can whole heartedly say that, once the PS5's software matures and takes full of advantage of it's hardware, video game visuals will have absolutely peaked in it's current entertainment form. (TV + Console + Controller)

This is why I agree with Ubisofts prediction that after the PS5 and Microsofts equivalent has had it's run, the two companies and maybe Nintendo as well will have adopted a streaming service. Im reaching the age where I have to put video games behind me, and wthin the next 2 - 3 years will probably be the best time to do so considering the circumstances on where consoles are going.

Oh and yeah, I also want to get out of gaming before forced diversity, politics, and loot boxes completely ruin my hobby. That too. And judgement by the climate - that time is extremely f***ing nigh...

If the PS5 sells another 100M+, why the heck would Sony not make a PS6? Until console sales for the top console drops below 50M, we'll still see consoles.

As for the last part, SJWs have been fought off before in this industry. Several times, in fact. You don't keep them out by just giving up. That's how they get their way. 

IF, and that's maybe expecting too much, PS5 and XB Scarlet launch with an 8 core Ryzen CPU/APU, there is a good chance they can last a full 10 year cycle if they follow the same trend as this gen. The problem now is the Jaguar cores are too weak and need to be put to bed. If they use a strong enough future proof CPU, they can just scale up the GPU and add some new features every 3 years, but have 2 upgrades over the gen. If tech keeps slowing down, then maybe 4k TV's will end up mainstream until 2030, in which case we could just have a base console around 2020 and an upgrade around 2025. That or two "short" full gens. By 2030 hopefully streaming infrastructure should be sound enough that it can handle around half of the consumers needs. You could sell half a $199 streaming box and the other half a $399-$499 full blown console. Assuming the cheaper streaming box and service grows the business, that can help subsidize the cost of the dedicated console so it's still affordable.
