Balanced implies next gen all around. 8 Core Zen, 12GB GDDR5(x), 6TFlop Vega, $499.

If this is what Scorpio ends up being hardware wise, odds are very good we hear leaks about PS5 late 2017, and legit news early 2018, with a launch fall 2018.

No way PS5 is fall 2018. That's around the time games like Last of Us 2 and Death Stranding will come out. 

Sony doesn't need to rush PS5 just because Scorpio will have a power advantage over it, PS4 will continue to sell great (much more than X1) and have a large install base regardless.

PS5 is fall 2019 at the earliest
