I was about to reply that you needed to mention the Xbox, but you edited just in time!
Still, at any moment in time, it can be hard to decide on what product you want.
With PS2 you got PS1 backwards compatibility. With PS3, you got PS1 and PS1... if you got the original 60GB. But then the 40/80GB were released without it.
With PS4, they updated with PS4 Pro. And now there's PS5 and Digital Edition. This isn't as bad as I believe the specs are the same and the disk drive is the only difference.
But now Xbox Series S and X actually have a big difference in performance in addition to the disk drive! As someone that wants top performance but doesn't want the drive... ugh. Maybe the drives should be accessories... but consoles are too much like PCs already!
