If the economy continues to "wtf" us, they should target lower specs like the PS4 or even Xbox One, and "portabilize" it midgen as an enthusiast optional SKU. PS5 DE was an incredible system at launch as far as "power per buck". But its value significantly decreased over the years.
The new generation of gamers by 2028 will have not experienced "perceptual leaps" as we old console gamers knew them. Console generational leaps since the PS5 launched are a lot more similar to upgrading from a console to a PC within the same generation (so basically higher resolution, framerate, settings, and little else. You're rarely going to see nextgen games that are visually or mechanically jawdropping in the PS6 gen regardless of specs).
A "cheap" PS6 launching in 2028 should still have much better specs overall than PS5 Pro, because base consoles serve a different purpose than enthusiast devices and pack a lot more power per dollar.
