You will get diminishing returns on visuals for a $750 consoles and eventually $70+ games and you will learn to like it, lol.
PS6 will likely be $700+ for the "real" version (they'll likely have a $500-$550 lower end model for the poors with heavily stripped down hardware) and it will probably have cross-gen games with the PS5 for like more than half of its product cycle because very few studios will be able to afford pushing the envelope 2x-3x further as that generally will come will much higher development cost and development time.
Time of development for these games is an equally big problem, we're getting to the point where maybe a big studio can make one entire big game per 7-8 year generation.
GTA6 has taken how many years to make? When is the next Skyrim/Elder Scrolls going to be ready? Any time this decade? Maybe?
This is like binging a TV series in a weekend and then realizing the next season is 2-3 years away except even worse as games are now starting to take a decade for the next installment.
