No I think you're dead on.

There can be hundreds or even thousands of PC combinations.

There's only one PS5, and only one XSX. The CPU memory and GPU are all known quantities and can be developed towards.

Console manufacturers have also been known to withhold the true spec/capabilities of a machine and then update the developers throughout the console's life cycle. This is how you get better looking games year after year on the same hardware.

They can also, in the case of the PS vita hand held, withhold or reserve a certain amount of system capacity for later expansions or software updates, that they can give back to the developers if/when they decide they don't actually need it.
