I bet it will be every two years at this point and the raw power differences are just pointless to focus on. Phones handle BC without issue and so will consoles. I like it. Buy new when you feel it's time, no more software droughts, hopefully lower prices on software as dev costs drop due to better flexible platforms... win win. |
Don't kid yourselves, at some point there will be a hard reset where new games won't function on older hardware. Just like the mobile industry forces you to upgrade to a certain firmware and hardware model to keep up to date.
Not sure about MS, but there will be a real PS5 after the PS4 update. The numbering of the systems is too big of a brand to just start calling their consoles Orbis or Neo from now.
