I think this gen is good for a while yet.
We've only just got to the point where games don't run on PS4 any more.
Current gen has good SSDs, 16GB RAM, fast CPUs and 4K (or at least scale to 4K acceptably) graphics. Most stuff runs at 60fps (with an option to turn on the graphical wankery and drop to 30-40), and when it doesn't there's VRR to paper over the cracks.
The only area it's really lacking is RT performance, and only nVidia are there right now. The pricing for cards capable of dropping old lighting paths entirely (e.g. for Cyberpunk Overdrive mode) is obscene. Frame generation is a red herring. It won't make games feel more responsive. Only real frames can do that. We're a long way from dropping traditional lighting.
