Not a great article even if it does attempt to make a relevant point.
Talks about how we didn't get slimmed down versions of consoles while ignoring the beefed up releases like PS5 Pro.
And then they totally lost me at the still image comparison between Xbox One and XSX and related talk about how games look mostly the same across gens. Anyone who has played the pictured game (Halo Infinite) on both knows how the visual differences are huge - better resolution, higher frame rate, WAY better draw distance, texture popping reduction, etc.
This author has an agenda that they go out of their way to push, even when they don't need to.
That's a strange callout. Why would he required to mention the existence of more expensive models when he's calling out the lack of a cheaper mid cycle refresh? That's like the exact opposite of what he wants.
