It's based on the assumption that this generation will go somewhere near as long as the last one did, despite the last generation being a far stronger generation in terms of sales of all platforms. The general pattern is a 5 year gap between generations. This would see the next systems coming out in 2018, which is right about where we'd expect it to happen, if the only thing that happens with the rumoured "upgrades" is a resolution increase.A |
7th gen was as long as it was cause we hit 28nm wall.
TSMC has announced 7nm for 2017...now, they are pretty much Peter Molyneux of semiconductor industry, but if some minor miracle happens and they (or GloFo) actually have it by late 2017/early 2018, then there is a theoretical chance for PS5/NextBox in 2018.
Personally, I highly doubt it, more like 2019 - especially if both MS and Sony decide to go with Navi architecture (slated for 2018) and keep the price in $400 range.
