TopicAnyone feels console lifetime goes by too fast?

I'd personally like to see "generations" dissolved completely and replaced with much more frequent, incremental and optional upgrades for those who want more power. As things stand, consoles generally hold back developers by forcing them to develop to the lowest common denominator hardware-wise, even when market technology has long since left those units behind.

For reference, the PS4 was outdated technology on the day it came out, and yet developers were still tied to its specs for seven years. This was somewhat assuaged by the introduction of the PS4 Pro, but it didn't really affect things too much.

The PS5 and Series X seem to have caught up with modern technology, but now we have the rumored 30XX Nvidia cards coming out by the end of the year which, if rumors be believed, will already be packing the graphical powers you'd expect in a PS7. Consoles have already become so similar to PC architecturally, let's just dissolve the walls and either speed up hardware creep or, even better, allow for modular customization.
