The rumored PS6 (home console) specs are somewhere around a Nvidia 4070-4080.

That's not bad, but by 2027 or 2028, the 70 series GPUs will be out or just about to arrive, so nowhere close to cutting edge. 

Most developers are likely going to want games on both the lower spec handheld which will be sub-PS5 in raw performance. That will basically just create a massive crossgen period where sub-PS5 is the baseline for a long, long time.

So yeah, I think generations in the way we knew them in the past are basically coming to an end. It's just going to be "rolling transitions" where the previous platform is supported for practically for the entire "successor" product cycle too.

The rumors put the PS6 above 5070ti and potentially 5080 in some tasks. Kepler said RDNA5 feature set will exceed Blackwell's, let alone Lovelace's. Why you already downplaying bro? lol.
