Part of the "problem" is that the current gen launched basically at the height of COVID. People were distracted when it came out and studios took a huge productivity hit at a time when they would be pushing to get those games out.
But it is coming up on 5 years and console generations tend to be 6-8 years if memory serves. Considering how much work goes into prepping the hardware, it makes sense to see "leaks" now for what will likely hit shelves in the fall of 2027 or 2028.
But I think the bigger issue is that we kind of all know these are "just" computers and most games are multiplatform. Combine that with backwards compatibility and there really aren't that many distinguishing games of a generation. Which is why it is a common refrain that this is probably the last "console generation" with the future being closer to PCs where you just have new hardware every few years and upgrade when a game you want needs it or you get bored.
Why would that be so ludicrous? It is meat and cheese with a lubricating sauce on bread.
That said, I would actually argue the distinction there isn't the form factor but the cooking method. For pizza/"pizza", you start with raw dough and add toppings to it and then cook. Rather than adding toppings to a cooked dough (i.e. bread). Although I want to say there is a style of pizza that actually cooks the dough first for some reason? I am inclined to blame Chicago just because they are usually the food criminals. Also I've never actually made one but I assume at least some of the chain store sausage rolls (?) the Brits like are also starting from toppings in raw dough but... let's just say Chicago learned their food atrocities from somebody...
But, regardless: The point is that all of these are mostly just regional/cultural equivalents of the same meals. Tacos and sandwiches mostly fulfill the same role of being a way to eat leftovers without getting your hands too messy and were popular with "lower class" workers. Soups, chilis, and curries are mostly a way to get a bunch of ingredients into an easy to cook (and leave in the pot) format that can also be stretched pretty far with stuff like rice and bread. And so forth.
And, again, once you actually start cooking you realize this and realize how easy it is to translate skills from one cuisine to another. Flavor profiles are very different but you rapidly realize you are doing mostly the same motions when you are making a Japanese or Indian curry or a British stew and so forth. And... you can then consider different cooking vessels and the like and how that might actually work better than the traditional style (just make sure you call it "fusion" so people don't get pissy).
