Shawn Layden, the head of PlayStation in the PS4 era, believes that the technical level of the gaming industry has reached a bottleneck, and most people can't tell the difference between 90 frames and 120 frames.

As Layden makes these remarks, the updates of the host generation are becoming more and more dull and less "intergenerational".The transition from 2D to 3D is undoubtedly epoch-making.The leap from Xbox to Xbox 360 brings high-definition picture quality and more powerful online features.In contrast, the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S generations are just a progressive upgrade.

He said bluntly in an interview with gamesindustry.biz: "I think we have reached the platform stage technically. To be honest, how many people can really tell the difference between 90 frames and 120 frames?"

So, what should hardware manufacturers and host manufacturers go next? Layden suggests that more focus should be on "making products cheaper and simpler" and attracting more hardware companies to participate, rather than blindly pursuing upgrades that are almost impossible to detect in the human eye.

He said: "Make hosts cheaper and more concise. We should do this. At the same time, we need to find a way to get more hardware manufacturers to join in."

Previously, the oil pipe blogger "Moore's Law is Dead" released the hardware specifications of the PS6 and PS6 handheld consoles that were leaked in the early stage.It was mentioned at the time that the PS6 "emphasized the cost control and kept the power consumption lower than the PS5", which seemed to match the thinking of the former PlayStation executive.
