Prediction - PS6 will not be designed to replace the PS5.

Switch 2 comes fairly close effectively to Series S thanks to the more advanced feature set. Street Fighter 6 and Star Wars Outlaws are two highlights, but the lowlights are okay-ish as well.

As long as the PS6 handheld can reach like one tenth of PS6's power, it should be able to run most PS6 games without much trouble. Yes there will be games that won't run well enough on it but as I said earlier that's normal and can happen to any weaker system. If that's a deal-breaker to me, I can just ignore the handheld and get something more powerful. It'll no doubt get its fair share of crappy ports like Elden Ring Switch 2 is supposed to be, but so what? How is it a big deal? The PS6 handheld will be dwarfed in sales by the home console SKU anyway.

I think we'll need to wait for Borderlands 4 to release, a game that stresses the CPU with lots of enemies and particle effects. There you will get proof that 1/10 of a standard console is nowhere near powerful enough. You need a powerful CPU as well but lets wait and see how Borderlands looks.

Well the series x is the replacement for the one, right? It has no exclusives and it has still replaced it. Same thing will happen here. 

Well it had CONSOLE exclusives like Starfield? I believe that if the Xbone X had a Ryzen CPU and expansion slot for fast storage, the XBS consoles wouldn't have replaced it, but ran alongside it. The Xbone X was forced into being replaced because of it's bottlenecks like CPU and storage speeds. The PS5 has no major bottlenecks that a replacement needs to improve on. Just an all round upgrade.
