The profits of PS4 show that simplicity is king. They went for custom power and some mind blowing new tech with PS3 and all it did was cause everyone headaches who tried to develop for it and cost them gazillions of dollars. They went simple with PS4 and everyone was happier. Hell the PS3 uniqueness is costing them to this day with BC not being available (not as much as some would claim but I imagine some have not bitten because of it). Hopefully they can overcome it with this new tech they patented for BC on PS5

Yep.  With PS2 was the Emotion Engine and the GS, very complex architecture, if you also add the embedded 4MB of D-Ram...but in the end they won; it was a nightmare coding for it in the beginning;  with PS3 again a special architecture, Cell and RSX; finally Sony understood that it's better to be original just with the software, and keep the hardware down to earth :D
