I predict Sony is going to pull a Nintendo and release the PS6 with only slightly bumped power. I think they're going to want the console both affordable, and its games not to cost a zillion dollars to produce. Shu has already sort of hinted at it, as have others. 

But then why releasing a PS6 at all? 

I will not buy a console that will not play games significantly better than a PS5, I will stick to my PS5 or will simply upgrade my PC

If the games already look good enough and a full generational leap is not possible, it means consoles should drop this generations thing and just start doing small upgrades every 2~3 years and let people upgrade when they feel like it, like GPUs does

Sony are in a luxury position next gen. They can release a console as expensive as they please because there is no competitor that has the will to fight with them on price anymore. Just look at Xbox's 800$ console as proof of that. It can also be a meagre upgrade and cheap console and nothing bad can happen because there's no competitors who want to release a a cheap console in that power range. Switch 2 is still much weaker than PS5. It all comes down to Sony's preference of how they want to do business and what works best for them. They will win with whatever strategy they choose but I guess it's what's best for the shareholders.
