Kinda pointless I think as most studios are already barely able to make games that fully push the existing PS5/XSX consoles without risking bankruptcy in many cases and needing 7-8 years of dev time. I think what will happen is just devs not even bothering the optimize their games and brute forcing them on a console while not looking that much better than what's on the PS5 (ie: the Monster Hunter Wilds problem where not many are impressed by the graphics, but the game performs like dog shit anyway and it's audience retention is bombing).
Sony working on a portable "PS6" that's only going to be sub-PS5 tier in horsepower is also to kneecap the range of games for next gen as I can see that model actually doing reasonably well which in turn will then force devs to have to make all their games work on that hardware too.
