| Ka-pi96 said: I expect PS to stay with traditional console cycles. I don't think Sony will try to pursue the upgrade thing further after the relative apathy towards the PS4 Pro. They may still end up with a PS5 Pro, but I expect the upgrades to be a compliment to their traditional console cycle rather than a replacement to it. PC gaming isn't really going to change. And the rest? I simply don't care about. |
Isn't that exactly what the PS4pro is? A compliment? Cause I really don't think it was ever designed to be a replacement.
Anyway to OP, I agree with him; traditional console cycle, but with an "extended" period of previous generation support. Basically, I expect we see the full compliment of PS5 games also released on the PS4/PS4pro for around 2 years. And then in the third year we start to see PS5 exclusive games.
Everything else still has its place, having one doesn't have to mean the others die. There will always be a place for nintendo's "mobile" approach but that will still also always pale in comparison to what the dedicated home consoles would be able to do which will in turn shape their respective libraries and audience.
