It'll have to. Games are getting bigger faster than Internet speeds can keep up with, or more importantly : access to truly great speeds.
Anything south of 15mbit and downloading AAA games is a $%*&. Even if you have okay speeds, many are stuck with stupid caps.

If it beats the wii, it's going to be a CRAWL. The most i see the ps3 selling this year is 2 maybe 2.2 million units. The ps4 came out in 2006, meaning it's coming up on its 10 year anniversary, aka, the year sony could very well kill it. Now, if it's still selling, they obviously won't as 10 years is the minimum amount they want to support a console. The ps4 is 15.5 million behind as of the end of March. Now, sales for the wii are negligible at this point, but sillt. Sony has to sell 15.5 million more ps3's? the ps3 will probably sell another 1.5-1.7 million this year. At it's current sales rate, it would take 5-8 more years of sales at its current rate to catch up to the wii, which I just don't think will happen. I think the ps3 is going to crawl past 90 million in about 2 years, and then sony will kill it.
Vita 2 is real!
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
This shouldn't surprise anyone. Consoles actually do take a while to make and they start working on them almost immediately. That being said, I think there kind of had to be another console generation even though the analysts keep saying consoles are on their way out. The 8th gen systems are rather unimpressive as far as powerful hardware is concerned and developers had already started running into limitations early on. These consoles can't last for more than 5 years.
That's another thing. For those of you who were little kids when the 7th generation started, having 7-8 year console cycles is not the norm. It had to be that way last generation due to the fact that Sony and Microsoft had to make up for the huge losses from the PS3 and 360 in their early years and because the industry had trouble adjusting to HD development. The 7th generation saw many casualties in the industry. Most console generations run between 5-6 years. Now that Sony and Microsoft have hardware that isn't too expensive and because developing for them isn't that difficult, console life cycles are going back to normal. So don't be upset if you find that your PS4 is getting replaced in 2018 or 2019 at the latest.

Well some will argue that you have the pre load option for that. Still I like to have the option. Also it doent help that I can find games physical cheaper than digital.

really? this site surprises me.
considering that PS4 started developments around 2007, then yeah its normal that they already started working on PS5.

Yeah, it was when the NX was first mentioned and I remember saying that the PS5 was likely being worked on as well, and someone tried to make it seem like it was an outrageous assumption or something. Then I said that all successors begin R&D a year or two after the predecessor launches and they asked for a source. It was just a mess, lol.
