ARM would be a reasonable alternative. Unity/UE5 already support it due to mobile and Nintendo Switch, and consoles are usually more power/thermally constrained than desktops, so AMR in many ways would be a better alternative than x64.
Plus PlayStation is big enough that if they went ARM, game devs would have to follow.
But were there fast/powerful enough ARM chips to be competitive with what ended up in the PS4/XBox One?
They certainly exist today. But could Sony and Microsoft have chosen them or would they have had to have them developed?
