Consoles are finished, will be none next gen. NX will be the last.

We're hearing it for quite a long time now and it never happened. I think the idea of cloud processing  replacing local processing is good for lighter applications, but for complex tasks, like games, it will never be good enough for cutting edge games.


cloud streaming (aka psnow) is not the same as cloud processing.  for really heavy tasks like games a service like psnow could be amazing for cutting edge games.  games like uncharted 4 have to fix within the limitations of the local hardware which is always limited by the consumers price tolarance (no more than $400 apparently).  in the cloud uncharted 4 could have nearly limitless processing power at it's disposal.  there would of course still be cost based considerations but a cutting edge game would have the option to increase it's availible resources if that's what the developer wanted/needed.

 

OT - ps5 won't even have a whisper of a substantial rumor until 2018.
