Every other gen actually felt like a huge step up in literally every other past decade other than the current one. Nowadays, having the old console means you'll just get an update to give it most of the features and even UI of the new console, and it even means you'll still be able to play a majority of newer games, just at a lower resolution and FPS.
Just look at any of the modern PS4/PS5 or Xbone/Series games that have two versions for each console - the "old" ones really usually look almost the same aside from minor things like shadows and meme tracing being turned down or off.
