| KBG29 said: Can't wait for E3. Everything is turning out exactly the way they said it would since before the PS4 launched. X86 and the standard GPU was a decision to create a scalable platform from day zero. This is a great path for consoles to take. It leads to the platform staying relevent longer, and the life cycle extending greatly. This will allow the PS5 to be a true generational leap, and bring in a completely new way to develop and play games. |
Generational leap? The ps platform just then becomes a PC, that's not a step forward it's a step back. We ALREADY HAVE a PC market, why create another? The whole steam box idea fizzled pretty quick didn't it.
Why do so many of you WANT the console market to die? If you can't see how this will really really hurt future console releases, adoption rates will slow not increase.
Incremental upgrades work in the phone market because generally they are just phones and web browsers, people upgrade on subsidized contracts, people upgrade because their phone cracked or fell in the toliet. Not cuz they need 10fps extra out of angry birds.
Consoles are successful because they give you a good cheap way to get around 5 years of gaming parity close to the leading edge of gaming WITHOUT spending any more money. Take that away, besides SONY First party exclusives , there is ZERO reason not to just PC game instead, where your totally in control of your components, cost and upgrade cycle.
