Why can't devs deliver a "Next gen" graphics moment with PS5/XSX?

Because the hardware wasn't powerful enough. Ever since the PS4 gen, hardware leaps have been dead, imo. And even the PS3 gen was underwhelming. The last time hardware was powerful enough to wow me was the Dreamcast/PS2/Xbox/Gamecube. It's been a long time.

Very true. Many forget for the majority of gaming history, developers were always working with underpowered hardware or had storage limitations on the physical media so they had to come up with creative and clever ways to get their games to run the way they wanted to.
