I think last gen has spoilt people and raised their expectations on when slim consoles actually arrive.

I would be surprised if we see a ps4 slim before 2017. I have it pegged at a 2018 release and a $199 price point. Two years before the PS5.


PS5 will not wait more than 5 years to launch simply because PS4 is so underpowered compared to PS1,PS2 and PS3. Those consoles had huge boosts in power, PS3 in particular. PS4 doesn't have that advantage and by year 4, games will have topped out totally. Hell, I wouldn't be shocked if it gets maxed out by next Christmas.

I think we'll see PS4 Slim by 2017, but I had PS5 launching the year afterwards.

PS5 will launch 2020 at the earliest

i understand PS4 doesn't have that big of a boost but PS4 dominance and price cut space and slim launches and games providess it enough time

it is looking like an al-out PS2 which was worse than GAMECUBE and XBOX 1 but its popularity and games and price-cuts provided it enough time

 

Also today,the generations are much longer as BIG Hardware LEAPS are a thing off the past,its not that PS4 is underpowered but more than since INTEL Dual Core,Computing performance has rarely made big jumps.Each Year INTEL revision make such minutes jumps that my 5 year old PC can play anything today without 1 bit of perfomance drop

Also graphics have allmost reached a level that they cannot be outright improved more but its more about detail which is more about development bdget not about hardware.PS4 can play almost a photo-realistic game.Look at DRIVECLUB,KILLZONE SHADOWFALL,INFAMOUS SECOND SON,METAL GEAR 5.HORIZON,BATTLEFRONT,BATTLFIELD,etc

 

PS4 will go something like this

 

2015 $50 price cut - $349 PS4

2016 PS4 SLIM - $349 PS4 SLIM

2017 $50 price cut - $299 PS4 SLIM

2018 PS4 SUPER SLIM - $299 PS4 SUPER SLIM

2019 $50 price cut - $249 PS4 SUPER SLIM

2020-2021 Cheap made PS4 with $50 price cut - $199 PS4 CHEAP SUPER SLIM

 

they are perfectly on track with games like

GRAN TURISMO 7,8

HORIZON

KILLZONE 4

INFAMOUS 3

LAST OF US 2

GTA 6,7 TIMED EXCLUSIVITY(it will happen)

FINAL FANTASY 15,16

FINAL FANTASY 7

METAL GEAR 5,6

KINGDOM HEARTS 3,4

CALL OF DUTY

STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT

TITANFALL 1,2

GOD OF WAR 4,5

UNCHARTED 4,5,6
