I already decided this would be the last console generation for me. Why bother anymore? The savings in PS Plus/Xbox Live/Core/Essential to play online alone make it worth it if we're forced to be digital only. And I don't have an ad-filled home screen. And I get as many libraries as I want. You can use a plethora of controllers with PC and the same display cables can be used on your TV now. Like, really, what's the point? Both the PS6 and this thing are going to be $1000+ if they even reach the market.
