The architecture for consoles is more or less set, there can be various improvements and efficiencies found to improve performance such as PS5's SSD solution and Nvidias DLSS... but otherwise, the core is set.
So I don't think we need or should have a hard reset for PS6 or any new console in the PlyStation line again....meaning Sony can continue to build an install base across multiple generations and gamers on a budget can buy older PS consoles cheaply but still be considered partof the active playerbase.
This is strategically and financially significant for the business.
Sony needs to consider this bigger picture and look at expanding their offering. A new Pro model should be offered every few years, controllers that resemble the dualshock and DS4 and perhaps even a modern PS3 to play games of that generation and count towards active units.
With this paradigm shift and the entire console space to play with, there is a lot to explore.
