Yeah if they are indeed going to make a traditional PS6, then I feel like they need to focus on efficiency and affordability, even if it means its not a massive leap in sheer power.
In a cost of living crisis, the market for a $700+ high end console will be pretty much just wealthy enthusiasts; to achieve mainstream success it needs to be something the working class can afford.
Stuff like neural processing and other forms of hardware acceleration can hopefully compensate for a lesser leap in horsepower by increasing functionality, similar to how say the Switch 2 isn't a big leap over last gen in power, but has features that widen the gap like raytracing and DLSS.
As a PS5 owner, I don't feel like I'll be upgrading for a long time yet, but it will be interesting to watch things unfold.
