I don't disagree with you here as that illustrates the problem. If the biggest AAA games target large and bigger specs, it's just PC they're targeting, that's why a Pro model would be created, and PCs evolve much faster. So a Pro model is made and it's fine at first, but what happens when they start targeting higher than the Pro model's specs? Do you make a "Pro" Pro Model? That's a big part of where PC's and consoles differ and I guess I prefer the ~7 year life cycle method for consoles more. |
When the target gets to high that a Pro console wouldn't be enough the baseline would be even worse and yes you would get a new gen.
But when you look for real world, even with PS5 released Sony still made some great exclusives launching on base PS4 and run acceptably.
