86-64 chips, its kinda easy to see where or what we will get in the PS5. Just think of whatever processor AMD will make on a 7nm process whenever that comes along. And that's what will be in the PS5.

And not only will it be BC, the current PS4/PS4pro will play it's games too. Only difference is that the PS4 will probably run them at sub 720p@30fps, the PS4pro will run them at 1080p+@30fps and the PS5 will be 4k@30/60fps.

God I hope not.

Could you imagine what Uncharted 4 or The Witcher 3 would be like if they had to run on the PS3 too? Power is more than just visuals. Physics, rendering styles, animations...

I'd rather developers (at least, exclusive developers) just be able to make their games on the most up to date console hardware.

I highly doubt it will. At most, a few games will be cross buy. You pay for the PS5 version and get a digital download of the PS4 version, as well. But the PS4 isn't going to run PS5 discs. Devs are going to be focused on getting the most out of that 10+ Tflops, with some probably outsourcing ports to other systems.

@ OP

If they stick with AMD, it should be relatively easy. Personally, I'm surprised they haven't come out with a PS1 emulator for the PS4. It should be pretty damn easy to do and they could keep selling those on PSN, instead of only being able to buy them with a PS3/Vita.

My guess, or hope, for PS5 is to have it support the PS1, PS2, and PS4. Not sure how well a PS3 emulator would work out, but if anyone can do it, it'd be Sony. But, I'd still be happy with just those 3.
