    Its because they've already burned through all the good ideas and iterative designs have reached the point of diminishing returns. What's something 2026 tech can do that six-year-old 2020 tech couldn't? With the introduction of AI, a lot of tech has become objectively worse with no replacements in sight.

    Consoles were also a lot simpler then. And we were finding lots of ways to reduce cost ( chip count reduction, etc) as technology evolved rapidly
