I was wondering at first, as I didn't see any "Captured on PS4 Pro" or such lingo, but at the TLOUPII panel, they used the phrasing. I think this is just a matter of seeing Naughty Dog's first fully optimized PS4/PS4 Pro title, as Uncharted still had a lot of stuff left over from PS3. They said that this game was being built on the next evolution of the Naughty Dog Engine, back when they orginally showed it off.

 

If this is true, then it is possible we could see PS5 as soon as next year. I hope they end up going with seperate CPU and GPU instead of an SOC if that is the case. I still want PS5 to be a worth while leap over PS4, and not just another PS4 Pro. 

Things are about to start getting real fun. We are on the cusp of a new gen, and the leaks are going to start to roll out more and more. I think I might actually enjoy the tech more than the games sometimes.

Have you seen the PS4's sales? Sony are not releasing a console next year. People are jumping ahead of themselves. TLOU just looks amazing, just as GOW shat on everything prior to its release. I don't think a first party has ever shown off next gen software prior to next gen hardware being announced. ND certainly wouldn't do taht without acknowledging it.

You really don't want to release your new console when your old one's sales performance is dropping hard. While the PS4 sold well off the bat (with the exception of Japan), there was a lot of uncertainty surrounding the console market heading into this generation. Neither Sony nor Microsoft would want that kind of thing to happen again.

I will say this. If the technology is ready and the yields are high enough for Sony to release the PS5 in 2019, they'll go for it. Otherwise, Sony will hold off until 2020. Besides, with the likelihood of backwards compatibility with PS4 games, I don't see the harm in releasing the PS5 in 2019 just as long as the specs aren't gimped.
