It’s only a matter of time until consoles make the jump from x86 to ARM. They will kill off the PS4-PS5 generations.
x86 is too inefficient. ARM CPUs match x86 system performance while using a fraction of the energy. This will give future consoles a chance to use a larger GPU.
Edit - that might be the reason why they’re going all digital for PS6. PS6 should run x86 code natively. Maybe PS7 will use an ARM cpu which will not be able to play any PS6 games natively but they will have a streaming service for the older consoles.
