>Sony have shown they are willing to make esoteric gaming hardware in the past (cell architecture)
Just so we’re clear, you’re talking about a decision that didn’t really pan out made over 20 years ago.
PS6 will be an upgraded PS5 without question. You aren’t ever going to see a massive divergence away from the PC everyone took the last twenty years working towards.
The landscape favors Microsoft, but they’ll drop the ball, again.

The PS3 sold 87m units, and more importantly, it sold more than the Xbox 360, so I think it panned out fine even if we shouldn't call it a roaring success.
It did sell less than the PS2 or PS4 but I don't think the had much to do with the cell architecture.
Game developer hated it, but that's a different issue.
I do agree that a truly unusual architecture like this is very unlikely for the next gen though.
