I wonder if AMD have done a deal with Sony and also modified their future chips in line with Sony's own changes? If they put out a chip that's exactly the same as the PS4 then that chipset would become cheaper a lot quicker. Not to mention it would make a lot of PCs compatible with the PS4. I'm beginning to wonder whether Sony have changed their strategy entirely to the developers this year. They've shifted their plans from consumer to creators because they've suddenly realised that it's the creators that ultimately relate to their audience ... and that's what makes the money, NOT public relations.
Have Sony allowed AMD to copy their changes in exchange for cheaper chipsets? When I then look at Cage and the recent festival he was at, I can't help but wonder if Sony didn't pull a few strings to get that to happen. Then you look at the Indie scene and how suddenly Sony have become synonymous with 'Indie'. Something is definitely afoot. I can't wait to see how this pans out. This is the Play, Create, Share philosophy taken to a whole new level.
Haven't Sony also just announced some directive with 'coding' too? Something about sharing code between developers or anyone who wants to contribute. I think the development studios are going to embrace a console like that.
The PS5 Exists.
