Uh, Sony is bringing cloud gaming to the masses next year, the highest graphical fidelity it'll have are PS3 games. Sony will not release PS4 level of quality titles on PS Now after until PS5 drops otherwise it makes no sense to keep selling the PS4 hardware. In 6-7 years time the infrastructure in America and Europe might be sufficient enough for PS4 cloud gaming, it will most certainly not be enough for streaming PS5 quality titles, even if it is, only the lucky few with good connection will be elligible to stream that big chunk of data fast enough. Sony will not base their next big product on something a few people can enjoy.

No one is saying 12GB will be used by the OS, just that such an amount could be reserved initially with a hypothetical 56-64GB ram size.  We dont know what new technology can come out in the 2020s that a living room machine definetly must have. Windows uses 1GB memory? I have 16GB ram in my win7 pc, currently using 9.4GB ram, of 2.5GB to Firefox alone.

4K is the next big thing, anyone who says that current day technology is enough is delusional. Refer to threads made  6-7 years ago and see where technology stood back then and refer to this thread in 2020 and see how once few people thought they'd be stuck with 8-16GB ram, 1080p tv's, 2013 technology forever. 

 

 

Erm, nope.

They will have the PS4 on sale for a good few years, but why replace it? All you need for cloud gaming is a platform with an internet connection. You say everywhere needs hyper fast internet? Again, wrong. You just need to match the bluray bit rate which many Western countries already can with their high end fibre packages (which will be standard in next few years).

I am very familiar with tech and programing and I can tell you that 12GB is absurd. OS's will become lighter and optimised due to phones and tablets. The only thing that will fatten them up are unnecessary extras such as voice command and booting up everything in the background for fast loading, although that technically is not the OS. As for Firefox, stop having so many tabs and videos open ^^. 

Just zip it about 4k. You don't understand it ergo end of debate. You have no idea about pixel rates etc so don't argue about it. You ignored my points about it being unseen and bluray which begs the question; what would make you change you mind?

Bluray bitrate is a whole lot more than Netflix bit rate lol. PS5 will not be a streaming console, no one but a few will be able to stream a native 4K game. The bit rate will be compressed to shit to get it running, its not gonna be possible in 6-7 years.

Good that you're familiar with tech but unfortunately you're not from the future, you were unable to predict what a next gen OS would need back in 2007. You'd probably say "OS needing more than the entire 512MB ram of the PS3 or 360? Preposterous!"

I understand your point about 4K but it doesnt make much sense. You claim that its benefits are visible on a +60" screen, it's not. I have a 50" 1080p plasma, sitting on it from 3 meters and it is not sharp enough, some people who have never seen a 1080p/4K screen in the same room from the same range will tell you otherwise.

4K is real and it's coming.
