You said 2021-2022. If MS releases in 2019, that would be 2-3 years. If MS releases in 2020, that's still a range of 1-2 years. Which is why I said 2-3 years. @ bold You do realize that the PS2 launched a year after the PS1 sold ~21M units. And the PS3 was originally going to launch during a year when the PS2 sold ~20M. Sony could have easily kept those sales going. But, they didn't. There's no reason to cling onto an old system, when the competition is moving on. Or when you can sell to those who have had a PS for 5-6 years and are looking to upgrade, then selling to mid/late gen adopters in a few years after price cuts. It's the model they have followed for most of their gens. The only outlier is the PS3, which was mainly due to them wishing to make up for early losses, and because price cuts didn't happen til mid-gen to where the PS3 really took off. PS4 is more than likely going to be more like the first two gens.
6 years for a gen, when tech is advancing quickly, is hardly rushing it. Personally, I expect a Zen+ (possibly Zen 2, if they can get it out in time and cheap enough) CPU with 8 cores, a big step up from the Jaguar cores found in this gen. A GPU that's basically an underclocked or slightly parred down Vega 64, which would be ~11-12 Tflops. With 16 GB of GDDR6 RAM and 1-2 GB of DDR4 RAM for the OS. I expect a price of $399-$449. Who knows what they are doing for exclusives. I'm sure they will have one or two, while relying on cross-gen support, like usual. Wait, are you seriously suggesting that Sony is going to make a hybrid? Seriously? So they can have a new system that is going to be weaker than the Pro? They came out with a highly successful traditional console that beat the hot new Switch in last NPD, even with a $299 price, in its 5th year, and is going to sell 115M+. No. Sony is sticking traditional. |
That would be a weak as next gen.
And noo i mean release a tripple a exclusive at launch.
What ninty did with zelda/switch deff helped making ot sell so many systems
