All consoles launch with out dated chips to keep prices down and to theoretically keep stock up.
Consoles gamers aren't going to pay $800 for hardware. The ps3 launch was a mess because of price.
And out dated hardware isn't a problem. High end tech is expensive. I'm building a PC rig and I expect to spend $1500 to $2000. I don't want the ps5 and switch 2 to be overly expensive. The ps5 and switch are about exclusive software, not elite hardware.
