If it was a technological leap it would be a ps6, as it is the ps5 is an underwhelming console.

While I agree that there could be some unannounced leap it is entirely unlikely, more likely they will implement some form of DLSS. All the while graphics and FPS are not really a concern for ps5 owners, moreso the range of games.

Honestly I would be down for a $1500+ gaming console if it could perform close to a modern gaming PC. Not sure why they can't offer levels/tiers of the console for people who have more disposable income.

Xbox tried it, tbh it was nice but cutting your market in half creates a knock on affect in your cost of supplies. It also affects the game production with some consoles having issues and others not.

I was always a PC gamer but now having a nice TV in the basement the console is just a more natural choice. I tried using Steam big picture among other options but it still doesn't fit as well as a console does for me. Xbox had different tiers of consoles? Guess I didn't research Xbox much and haven't had one for ages.

Yeah in the most recent gen they had series S and series X, the S being a low end new gen and X being the flagship ps5 competitor in spec.

Tbh xbox has terrible naming conventions that make it difficult.

In the 360 era they had multiple options mostly relating to HD size.

I follow tech, gaming, consoles, etc.

I still have to fucking double check S/Series S and X/series X because those are the dumbest names ever.

Probably thermals. Consoles are basically gaming laptops with a desktop heatsink and internal PSU (most of the time)
