My theory is that there was no reason to make a new generation of consoles, we have reached diminishing returns. People only need their games to look good enough and be big enough and run fast enough, the new generation just doesn't matter anymore.
Then again my primary form of gaming is ascii graphics so...
Only real leap I see this time is load times and maybe the frame rate is a bit better in some games.
SSD, VRR, and HDR as standard in all consoles was really the upgrade for this generation. Now if Microsoft would just get on board with gyro we could finally make some progress in the controls space.
