I don't want a mid gen upgrade - just give me whatever tech can be squeezed out of a $400 USD console and in 5-6 years give that to me again....

An 8-10 year generation would be torture to me tbh. Being stuck on the same hardware for long would just get boring as hell, I'd get tired of it and want something exciting and new. The thought of waiting til 2025-2027 for the successor to the Switch... ugh.

I agree with a few who have said when the tech warrants a new gen. This gens consoles have been pretty underpowered basically since launch so new hardware is much appreciated, especially for the CPU side of things.
