Like I said, the max 2 years of cross gen titles isn't written in stone, it'll be completely dependent on how fast common gaming pc's will evolve. If the average gaming pc still has a GTX1060, 4 years from now, that will be the base hardware their 1st party studios will be targeting. And if the masses don't have NVME SSD's, Series X games also can't take full advantage of it. Maybe there is value in MS's approach, but not if you buy a next gen console and expect to be blown away by next gen games, designed specifically for Series X.

Why are you still arguing that the cross-gen period will be longer than the announced two years... oh yeah, because it fits your agenda.

We could also argue that Sony will return to PS4/PS5 cross-gen releases withing the next two years when/if the PS5 hardware base ain't big enough yet to sell enough blockbusters... their current strategy ain't written in stone either.

And your "If the average gaming pc still has a GTX1060, 4 years from now" argument is stupid. Are you expecting a complete standstill on the PC side while the new consoles prosper? The progress of PC hardware is as fast as the progress of console hardware... the only difference is that the shift to better hardware is more gradually and not in 3-4 year steps.

I dont know about that. Just clicks that at the begining of a new gen, consoles will be unrivaled in price to performance and they will be competing with high end rigs. So for that begining period I actually expect a slowdown in pc. But after the pc takes over in who knows how long, 1 year or 2, the pc space will be matching the consoles in price per performance. Who knows they might even beat the consoles. During that period is when pc will see another rise and from then we have to wait until theres enough adaptation such could be another year on top of that.

Not that I have any data. Just what makes sense as consoles will be at their most attractive at the begining of a launch. Taking attention from everything else.
