| Shadow1980 said: Of course not, no more than the PS4 Pro is "next-gen." It's more or less a souped-up XBO designed for 4K gaming. It's not anywhere close to a generation leap. The CPU is apparently the same as the XBO, just clocked a bit faster. The GPU is only about 50% more powerful than the Pro's. It's got only 50% more RAM than the Pro, whereas the base PS4 and XBO both have 16 times the RAM of the PS3 and 360, with a memory bandwidth also an order of magnitude higher. And like the Pro, all that additional power is going toward higher TV resolutions, not pushing the overall graphics themselves to next-gen levels. It will have no real exclusives aside from VR titles, and will share 90+% of the same library as the PS4 & PS4 Pro and 99+% of the same library as the XBO. TL;DR: This is simply a performance boost to an existing platform, not an entirely new platform. |
If PS3 just got Star Ocean and Persona, the whole entirely different platform angle holds no water
