I think that the only credible rumours here are the Bluray discs and the backward compability.I mean, being BC is a no brainer and extremely logical.The gen 8 was the only gen in a long time to not have BC, with the exception of Wii U, so assuming that the PS5 will be way more powerful than the PS4, and the PS4 having a much simpler architecture to emulate, that will definely happen(same with Scarlet).
And given how game sizes are increasing tremendulously, making discs that can store more data is simply logical.
Now the reason why I say the rest is BS is simply because the VR market didnt explode like everyone wanted.No one will want to develop for a market of 3 or 4 millions(split in multiple platforms) when there is a market of hundreds of millions thats far easier to develop.So while I dont think Sony will abandon VR just yet, I dont think they will either bundle a VR device with the PS5 or something of the like.It would be Kinect XOne all over again.I dont even see them selling it as a acessory out of the gate with the PS5, but they would rather wait 1 or 2 years to do that.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
