Lifetime sales predictions for current consoles?

I can agree with this point somewhat, but I think that the gen will last longer than usually. Mostly because the rate of high profile game releases gets lower.  

By 2027 the PS5 is at risk of being just as fast as an AMD APU (and I don't mean the Strix Halo which should come late this year/early next year and already beat the PS5), meaning 720p-1080p low would be standard PS5 settings by then. On a big TV that lack of visual fidelity will be absolutely visible.

Switch can get away with those things due to being a handheld system (and even then it has it's limits, Mortal Kombat 1, anyone?), but a console whose entire premise is it's graphical prowess? I seriously doubt that.

I think diminishing returns on that power increase will make it a harder sell. In the demo of PS5 pro it was very hard to see any difference. They will need to use benchmarks or something other than just show the visuals.
