>Consoles don't have that problem, because not providing perfect backwards compatibility for 20+ years of games isn't a dealbreaker there.

I'm not sure that's actually true for Sony. You can currently play several generations of games on the PS5, and I think losing that on PS6 would be a big deal to a lot of people.

Maybe they can pull the old console trick of just including a copy of the old hardware inside the new console.

However I suspect that this isn't as cost and space effective as it used to be.
