I agree, but the big question is what these new Nvidia gpu's will be priced like. If mid-range performance comes with a $500 price tag, like we've seen with the RTX cards, it might take a while before the masses upgrade.

Console games aren't going to suddenly become 10x more graphically demanding, it's a transitional process, so it will take a couple years.
By then... The Xbox Series X and Playstation 5 will be on the lower-end of the performance spectrum.

We would possibly be even looking at 5nm parts by then. (Even if 7nm and 5nm is just advertising numbers rather than actual geometry size shrinks.)

I'm not sure it will take years. Sony's exclusives should already make pretty good use of the ps5 from the start, and this gen we already had games like Batman AK, Witcher 3, Dying Light, AC Unity etc pretty early on. Most of those games had a minimum requirement of a GTX660 (which is in current gen) and some recommended a GTX770. 

The average gaming pc caught up quickly with the ps4/Xone because there were a ton of budget options available that offered console like performance on pc. There were cards like the GTX750Ti, the $80 AMD 260X and the $199 GTX960/970 pissed all over current gen consoles. Next gen it looks like we won't have those kind of budget options, though. At least not for a while.
