Likewise interesting to see what MS will do, will they match PS5 intro date or wait a year+ and target higher $/spec? |
MS won't really have a choice. All this realease stuff really all boils down to availability of tech.
Once the 7nm chips come along, sony can do one of two things with the PS5. Make an APU or make a seperate CPU and GPU which will be significantly more powerful but also much more expensive. Sony will not do the latter.
Now say 7nm chips come to market around mid to late 2019. Then it means 4nm chips will be at least 4-5 years away. If sony releases a 7nm based onsole in 2020, MS will have to follow suit as it would make no sense not releasing at the same time. Cause even if they waited a year or two after the PS5 released, they would still end up with a console thats similar in power to the PS5.
And lastly, the focus on power we have today will become very irrelevant come the next gen. Both console will be able to handle 4k games and at least at 30fps.
