I don't think more power would have resulted in a different scenario.
The issue is the industry, generally speaking, is hellbent on using every once of available performance for graphics fidelity. Give them more power and it'll be wasted on eye candies which are long past the point of diminishing returns.
There's also the UE5 engine which is a missive disappointment IMO, not because it's not powerful but because it's novelty features are way too resource hungry and every project using it seems to have realised it too late leading to subs par FPS.
Also, the true massive constraint for console is power consumption. Console have always been impressive in the fact they can match an even outperform system way more power hungry at the time of their release, but yet they are still limited to a ~200-225w at most requirement.
