PS6 generation is going to blow chunks, you can already see it coming.
The "Portable PS6" that they're going to push is actually going to be in raw power considerably less performance than even a base PS5, so for 2027/2028, it's going to be below 2020 home console performance. But enough people are going to buy that model that it's going to force devs to have to support that with their base line spec, so even though Sony will claim they don't mandate it, devs will essentially be forced to support it because no one can afford not to.
Not that devs even care by that point as most of them cannot afford another generational leap in visuals anyway.
You're just going to have a "cross-gen" period for basically the entire generation next time out. Generational leaps are going to turn into really underwhelming things where most games are going to be cross-gen even late into a console's generation.
This is also even happening in the high end PC market which is cratering after the crypto and COVID lockdown booms of the first half of this decade, now people are tuning out on high end hardware. Nvidia from the sounds of it are being forced to price cut the 50 series because no one's buying them ... not that they even care since PC GPUs are a tiny part of their overall business now (hello AI servers!).
