100% disagree - the thing I'm mostly hoping for next gen are AI NPCs, and that can't be (efficiently) done on current gen hardware.

And there's that thing where path traced games look much better than what we have in this gen.

This.  Next generation consoles are coming.  AI will speed up development.  And console haven't even really started doing high end RT, still stuck at 60 fps, etc. 

There is plenty of room for growth in gaming from a fidelity perspective.
