The difference is, in the PS1 & PS2 days, six years was enough to make significant gains in what could be accomplished with software. Now we are at a point where even if hardware was progressing the same, diminishing returns make software gains less and less impressive. Another thing is, PS1 & PS2 peaked much more quickly, and their successors came well after the peak. PS4 had its best sales last year, and has a great chance to sell even more this year. PS4 still has plenty of room to grow, and technology has a few years before truly wow worthy next gen software can be achieved. Adding everything up, a PS5 in 2019 doesn't look good from any angle. I still think a full 4K PS4 Premium in 2019 is the way to go. Then deliver a true next gen PS5 in 2022. PS4 Premium can offer 10TFLOPs GPU and a 3.0GHz Jaguar chip with no problem. Add in 16GB of RAM and an SSHD, and you will have a perfect XBO X besting option within the ecosystem. Then that opens the door for PS5 to be built on AMD's 4th Gen Ryzen tech, and their brand new Next Gen GPU architecture, both on 7nm+ fabrication. It will alloe them to jumo to 32 or 64GB o RAM, and have an M.2 NVMe card in every unit. That will offer an undeniable next gen leap in software that will make PS5 a justifiable upgrade to a much larger audience. |
Yea, you may want to do a little research before you start posting. In 2005, the year before the PS3 launched, the PS2 sold ~20M units. ~14M the year after. ~45M in the following 3-4+ years combined. Using your logic, we shouldn't have seen the PS3 until 2009 or 2010. And the PS1 sold ~21M units in 1999, the year before the PS2 launched. It's sales collapsed after the PS2 came out, but using your logic, Sony should have milked those sales a couple years more. Sony knows what they are doing.
