| KBG29 said: Still think people need to stop looking at PS4 as a console and start seeing it as an OS. The 4th generation PlayStation OS is very likely going to span over more than just the PS4 and PS4 Pro. I would not be surprised to see a PS4 Spec 3 that is slightly more porwerful than the PS4 Pro (maybe 8TF in 2018 with 12GB GDDR5) with PSVR tech and ports built in, and some form of Portable or mobile device as well. We may not see the PS5 OS and Hardware line for quite a while. My best guess for when we can see a true generational leap in CPU/GPU/RAM/Storage is 2022 - 2024. |
You are kinda right.
The Ps5 will coexist with the PS4 systems. By the time the PS5 is released, they would be able to have the Ps4pro be at around $200 and the PS5 come in at $400. But this will most likely happen around 2020. At this point, the PS5 will be a clear cut 4k console and the PS4pro will become mostly a 1080p console with 4k upscaling or still employing some form of checkerboard rendering. The base PS4 will mostly start getting games at 900p/720p.
This continuity is more to the fact that it makes the transition to a new gen easier for sony while ensuring they hold onto the majority of their already existing install base. Cause remember the money is in selling software. By the time its all said an done, the PS4/5 platform will span across over 200M consoles catering to people ok with 720p, 1080p and 4k gaming.
Make no mistake though, there won't be a spc 3 PS4. The next thing we are gona get will be called the PS5. If there is one thing that is certian though, never again will Ms or sony hit the reset button again when starting a new generation. There is just too much unnecesarry risk. Instead, when the PS5 is out, they would just change their marketing to suggest every new game is a PS5 game but will also get a PS4 port.
