It does make sense to use the PS5 branding to clean everything back up. We are getting out of controll with add ons. I currently have a 4 port USB 3.1 expander, the PSVR Break out Box, and a USB 3.1 5TB HDD connected to my PS4 Pro.
Even if PS5 was under powered, a $400 box that simplifies everything, while bringing a new baseline, and making VR much more accessable could do really well. I think VR is the key to this though. A box that sets a new standard for VR would be fine, but a box that does not focus on VR, and is less than half the leap we have come to expect would not sell to casuals or enthusiasts.
I can get on board with this 2019;
PlayStation 5
Price - $399.99 or $499.99
Agreed. $499 MAX due to inflation possibly (potential import tax for America)
Processing - AMD APU ~12TFLOP
Agreed. Give or take a few Tflops.
Memory - 16GB HBM RAM + 4GB DDR4 (As Intrinsic said)
Agreed. As long as PS keeps the OS fairly clean and doesn't get to media crazy like XB.
Storage - 256GB m.2 + 1TB HDD SATA 3 + (Optional USB 3.2 Storage) *All User Upgradeable
Possibility. This is going to be a tough one to lock down as there are many ways PS could/should go.
I/O - 6x USB 3.2 (2 front, 2 side, 2 back), Dedicated PSVR Ports in Front, Dedicated PSVR Camera Port Back, 1x HDMI 2.1
I don't see PS being that generous with USB. Two front. One, maybe two back ports or one side one back.
Media - 2 Skus, UHD Blu-ray or Digital Only (I don't want to have to buy a console with a disc drive anymore)
I think they would like to try this, but no company wants to be the one to take the potential backlash, especially after seeing what happened with XB1. There's the whole one sleek piece of hardware issue that makes an external drive a bit of a potential eyesore, unless they built the console so it slides/snaps in, to make it one nice piece still. If they decide to push for external SSD/HDD however, a separate disc drive becomes more likely/acceptable. This is also assuming that PS decides to stay with optical media and does not jump into carts like NIN is, which would help solve the storage and load time issue.
Dual Shock 5
-Nearly identical to DS4
-USB-C
-Built in Mic for Voice Controls
- 10 hour Battery Life
DS4 needs little improvement. Sounds good to me.
PlayStation VR 2
Price $399.99
Screen - 8" 1440p + HDR Curved OLED with 140deg Field of View
New Feature - 2x 5MP cameras for 3D AR and improved motion tracking
$299 if PS5 has the break out box built in. $399 if the bundle stays as is. (add $100 for inflation potentially)
PlayStation VR Remotes
Price - $199.99
- Gesture Tracking, Analogue sticks, and some more to stay competitive with Vive and OR.
$99 - $199.
I could get behind all of this in 2019 as the PS5. All peices sharing a matching design language so it all looks like it belongs together. No more switching USB cables to get HDR or VR. USB-C for charging all peripherals. These products together would make a 2019 or 2020 PS5 an awesome machine.
Agreed. This would simply continue the great gaming PS has once again brought to us all.
To me, if PS5 is not going to be a 30TFLOP, 128GB HBM RAM, and 8TB m.2 Solid State Storage device in ~2025 that can blow people away with 4K TVs and capture the core audeince. Then it has to be a device that simplifies VR, and establishes a new base line for VR tracking and controls.
2025? Don't say things like that! LOL
