Coming from the guy who sued a bunch of enthusiastic modders and then released the steaming pile of shit that is GTA 3/VC/SA Definitive Edition, because what the modders made was 10x better, I'm not surprised.

Y'all remember the 32x and N64's expansion pack or am I dating myself?

From a publisher standpoint, he states they don’t change the way they think of making or selling games. Which does make sense for someone in his position to say and lead his company in doing.

While a mid-gen upgrade for consoles may be nice for consumers. As they can pick up a console that’s capable of handling better graphics or higher resolutions. Publishers still need to support the 10s of millions of launch consoles that have been sold over the past few years.

So these upgrades might be good for consumers, but he says they're not meaningful for publishers/developers.

I don't care what someone who releases a game for the last gen 3 years into the current gen says about console generation relevance

Just means GTAVI will do 30fps on PS5 & PS5 Pro. They don’t know how to patch games like RDR2 for 60fps.

Clearly these midgen upgrades aren’t bringing anything new to the table.

That’s why I just avoid them as I enjoy the fact that consoles aren’t like PC where you have to upgrade every few years.

Of course developers can add a few effects and a higher framerate, but, as long as they have to care about early console adopters, they can’t do anything more meaningful.

We’ll see, but I ain’t even sure we’ll have a PS5 pro..
