Foe me 5 years cycle for consoles is perfectly fine, better then mid gen refreshes also next gen games can be played on old hardware with lowered specifications.
So… it’s not a fiver year cycle, and the “new gen” is basically a mid gen upgrade in disguise.
It’s all about price point people. If you are aiming for 499$, unless you got custom proprietary hardware that reduces costs for same performance then there’s not much you can do to separate yourself. Calling it a new gen is just marketing.
Side note: What happened to the DLSS like ML upscaling that MS was going to use in the Series X with the humongous power of the A.I cloud Azure etc?
