If it meant games having 3-4 year dev cycles and being $10+ cheaper ... yeah probably. PS4-era games still look fine and approximate any kind of environment to a point that it looks good if you have a good art department.
There just isn't a game I've played this gen yet that makes me go "wow, I can't go back and now play like a game that only looks like Horizon Forbidden West" or something and I've tried all the best looking games this gen, Senua's Saga, Indiana Jones, Avatar, Alan Wake II, Assassin's Creed Shadows, Star Wars Outlaws, FF7 Rebirth ... I mean yeah it's nice, but it's not like "OMG! I can never go back now!". There's no game that's given me that feeling.
