there is no way a PS5 in 2018, 2019, or 2020 will be anywhere near what we have seen in the past. |
50/50 i will say. PS4 launched in 2013, with - back in the days - really weak CPU, mid range GPU and quite good RAM for 399$ - if they did not create a PRO, i would say 2019 is absolute maximum for PS4 gen. But they have launched a PRO, so i dont know whats goin on already.
2013-2018 is 5 years, that is what in general console gen is. And that was where were consoles were WOW day1.Any PC gamer will kill u with laugh if u advice him these days
" choose Jaguar CPU laptop ".
Also, the whole concept of console is kinda different now , there are meant to be " good enough for mainstream John " not " top-of-the-edge ", 399$ is maximum price, no company wil take loss with every single unit sold etc. 3rd party is now a biggest factor for every console publisher, and they want simple architecture, low costs, etc.
Yes, I can see PS5 with lets say 12- 16 GB GDDR5X, 6-7 TFLOPS RAM and this time really good CPU, market it as a true 4K 60 FPS HDR, add backwards comp ( same architecture ) at the end of 2019.
So what is the other 50 ?
Still a stunning majority of TVs are 1080 and people dont want to buy 4ks, Sony and MS may want to repeat PS3360 scenario with artfically elongated generation, all this VR,HDR etc, also Sony maybe will want to harvest proftis as long as they can.
