That article has some interesting info indeed.  Here is what I get from a business perspective.


Pros:
-Disc based
-Backwards Compatibility


Cons:
-Powerful (pricey?)
-VR is going to be a priority
-Not releasing this year


So far PS5 is not doing too hot.  It is looking kind of like the PS3, but it may be too early to tell.  If they are smart they will do an early 2020 release, and maybe the VR is mostly talk.  We'll see.

Without full specs nor a price, I don't see how it 'isn't looking too hot'. The piece of info that does exist seems to have most people speaking highly of it, however. That's always a good thing!

As I said, may be too early to tell. 

But people spoke very highly of the PS3 before it came out.  It was such a powerful machine.  But power and price go hand in hand.  That is why power is a disadvantage.  PS4 was not ambitiously powerful when it released and it did very well.  For that matter PS1 and PS2 were not particularly powerful either.  The fact that the specs look so "good" is actually a bad decision.
