Every generational leap since 4th to 5th has been smaller than the one before it really; huge paradigm shifts gradually gave way to incremental refinement and diminishing returns kicked in.

I don't expect Helix to buck this trend, but it will be interesting regardless to see what it can pull of graphically. 

There will be a few path-tracing games....

Apart from that, I don't expect a jump in visuals, apart from say maybe everything running 120hz/120fps being the norm.
I think people will need to upgrade TV's alongside their consoles, if they don't already have one able to run 120hz refresh rates.


So like Imagine a ported game:
Switch 2 = 30fps
PS5/XSX = 60fps
PS6/New Xbox = 120fps 

All looking kinda similar in visuals.... just running at differnt speeds.

I think this is fair.  Path still has a long way to go.  My 4090 can't run path well at all.  

120 fps is absolutely bliss and worth it.  The improved controls is addictive, at least for me.

I also expect better effects like particle and volumetric.  

I think cross generational games will be permanent, at the very least 5 to 6 years. 

Edit

I do think the price, for consoles, will me monstrous.  If the 48 gb rumors are true, I would expect 2k at least.
