Absolutely not.

At the rate PC hardware is progressing relative to costs you will only see a modest improvement over the PS4 come PS5.

I think people are going to be dissapointed with the specs of the PS5.

This. Exacly like they were disappointed with the specs of the PS4.

4k and raytracing might be a bit much to handle.


Agreed. 4K and Ray tracing is too much to handle in 10 years. You can of course handle 4K graphics but the visual fidelity will be severely compromised. The same goes for Ray tracing. I believe, Titanfall level ray tracing should be feasible in 10 years but this would

a) look severely lacking in visual fidelity, so not worth

b) waste resources as the grossly strong GPU would be waiting idle for most of the time

... Also a techniqu like ray tracing is never to blossom on a dedicated console, of which the aim is to game on a relatively cheap machine. For ray tracing, you need the strongest possible CPU, which alone would cost a thousand bucks! Ray tracing in its pure implemetation has never been performant outside the professional forte, and needs to be widespread on the PC first.

But I agree on the fact that VR has a good chance to be more widespread in the future, but we'll see to what extent.
