They could probably get away with a PS6 that’s a PS5 Pro raster equivalent, improved ray tracing, and a modern AMD CPU and a bump in memory. Whatever can be sold for $500 in 2-3 years. Switch 2 is the baseline.
Microsoft can be twice as powerful, unless they had a multi year string of incredible exclusives, they’re not doing better than this gen and
regardless they don’t do exclusives anymore

Improved ray tracing is key. We’re at a point where hardware improvements aren’t for selling games to end users, they’re for cutting costs for developers. Project managers don’t want to spend time and resources handcrafting lighting anymore.
We saw it before where making SSDs baseline didn’t necessarily lead to a change in world design but certainly led to cuts in asset streaming optimization. Same with framerates.
