Perhaps, we should be more concerned with maintaining and keeping relevant current hardware, over constant production of more powerful hardware just for the sake of doing it. We've hit a point of diminishing returns in terms of the value we're actually being given by each new generation. Even the PS4 and Xbox One were able to produce gorgeous graphics.

Even the PS4 and Xbox One were able to produce gorgeous graphics.

But not always (or even usually IMO) at decent frame rates. I get major motion sickness and nauseous if a game doesn't run near 60fps constantly, it's really unfortunate.

Which is really less because of the consoles themselves and more because of the priorities of AAA game studios
