Software lineup has been awful this generation, especially with Naughty. 

But I think diminishing returns is a console problem.  Lighting, particles, volumetric and fps huge jumps are there but consoles are focus on resolution and not effects.  I think 1440p is the sweet spot, but honestly 1080p + effects looks amazing.  Sony needs to drop resolution as a focal point.  Resolution is diminishing returns.  

Edit

I've said many times before and people might tired of hearing it.  But on my 55 inch OLED, I can't tell the difference between 1440p and 4k.  I can't.  Take 1440p and add DLSS...  there just isn't a difference.  There is a reason 1440p monitors are super popular in the PC world.  It feels like PC gamers figured out a long time ago 4k is a waste of resources, unless someone has a 85+ inch screen.  

Looking at that Sony's presentation about the PS5 Pro, I could not even tell the difference when they put the images side by side. Must be my ageing eyes or because I was looking at it on a smaller laptop screen. I am certainly not convinced the improvements will be noticeable.

Just my opinion but panel quality is limiting more than hardware.

4k needs 80 inch screen

Lighting needs OLED

120 fps needs a 120 hz panel 

Anyone gaming on a 40 inch 60 hz LCD will not see a difference.  Just my opinion.  

To be clear I'm not suggesting everyone needs high end panels.  My point is expensive gpu is made worse because it really needs an expensive panel.  The total investment is crazy expensive.
