Maybe they should start by improving the system in a way that development time can be shortened. I dont need more power personally. The PS5 has yet to prove its worth in my opinion and probably should remain the current system for the next 8+ years.
There's no need to chase better visuals. Cutting cost - for everyone - should be the focus for the time coming.

Increasing costs has little to do with better hardware and more to do with a very competitive industry. Do you think Rockstar chose to spend 1 billion on GTA6 just for funsies? No. They did it because they know they can't make a game like GTA 1 today and be successful. Standards go up and over time people expect better and better experiences that cost more and more to make. Rockstar spent 1 billion to out compete everyone else in the industry, and I think it's going to work out for them.  

While 1 billion is crazy, it would probably also be crazy for the game to cost less than 500 million. GTA V is one of the most successful games ever and you can't skimp on the budget after it's done so well and VI has taken so long.

But I do agree budgets need to shrink on the whole.
