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

fps doesn't tell the whole story, so I wouldn't fixate on that. If someone is getting the hyprid version they obviously don't care about maximum performance.

Game feature set and function could surpass things achievable on the base PS5, like AI NPCs, physic simulations. All with the benefit of actually having potentially better image quality than all the PS5 games currently depending on FSR3 or below

"By combining massive amounts of training data with Machine Learning and a technique called subspace simulation we managed to produce a data-driven physics simulation, which is appropriate for games, and runs 300 to 5000 times faster than conventional physics simulations at the cost of some small additional memory usage. For more details take a look at the full article written by Daniel Holden, Animation Programmer at Ubisoft La Forge."

I disagree. No-ones going to buy a PS6P hybrid that has half the framerate of the PS5. How could they even begin to market and sell that to people? It's got 7-8 years to be something better than PS5 so at very least it needs to match the 60fps framerate when the ps5 is capable of 60fps.  

Every week in the UK for a year,  hogwarts legacy on Switch (1!) matched or exceeded the physical sales of the PS5 game. You guys have to accept there are huge portions of gamers who are not obsessed with the same parameters of you.

Zelda at 30fps sold double Horizon at 60fps, because people were more interested in the experience Zelda offered. Frame rate is simply not what determines whether someone is interested in an experience or not. Elden ring wouldn't of sold 40m otherwise lol

I've already said I suspect it will be a 30 to 70 spread between hybrid and home console, but 30fps is not whats gonna stop a parent getting rheir child a hybrid, or a busy adult wanting portability. The best selling Ratchet and Clank is the 30fps PS4 game, not the other 5 60fps entries..
