| Intrinsic said: At this point, I'm just going to say it will be flat out stupid for anyone to think the PS5 will come before 2020. It makes absolutely zero sense that sony would do that. They have absolutely nothing to gain by doing something like that. I mean outside fan wet dreams or conspiracy..... what tangible reason dows anyone have as to why they think sony will launch the PS5 in 2019? Why? They are the market leaders, and are yet to see a drop in yearly PS4 sales, oushing onto an install base of almost 100M, selling more software than ever before (which is where the money is)' know they don't have to worry about either of their competition till at least 2020 (MS just released the X1, they arent going to release another console in 2019 and its now obviois that the NS isn't taking away from PS sales). So why would sony throw all that away and rush into a new gen? I expwct the PS5 no sooner than 2020... could even be as late as 2021. |
Well, we’ll see about that. Developments and deals with chip manufacturers like that are made years in advance...Sony can’t just delay everything for a year or two just because their console is still selling well. If the PS5 will feature backwards compatibility, there‘s no reason not to release it. All the biggest and latest PS4 games are scheduled for 2019 atm. They could release as cross-platform titles additionally, just like GTA 5 and TLOU did. Sony could even have GT7 ready for launch, as a system seller.
This has nothing to do with fanboyism, but with Sony wanting to stay ahead of the competition. Again...why do you think Sony would throw away anything? It doesn’t mean a let’s say 250,- Pro Slim wouldn’t sell anymore, just because a 500,- is already available. They’ll be way beyond 100 million until then already with no way of stopping yet.
