Casuals ie most of the gaming audience won't really know about this interview. So when they formally announce on stage when they decide to it will be practically a new announcement. This type of delay doesn't affect hardcores cause we already know if we're buying it or not so they can share this information with us.

This means Sony doesnt want iterative consoles forever... its a "here & now" sort of thing, because of 4K TVs.

So maybe with Playstation 5, there wont be a neo version of it.

Yes, I game on PC because that's what I wanted to spend my hard earned money on. 

Well it's good in the long term for them, as I do plan to get an Xbox in the next year or so now while some who may have been considering a PS4 Neo may now be waiting to see what the Scorpio is all about.

Still, I don't know how effective that'll be... If I didn't have a PS4 I'd be favoring the Neo right now just for the games.

Nice! But the bigger thing in this thread is that he is talking about an eight-year lifespan for PS4!!!

Count on higher res at 30 fps. And I really don't think it will fail. PS360 was what really pushed 1080p TVs. Neo and Scorpio will push 4K + HDR for the masses. The problem with 4K TVs is lack of content. Well, here's your content. 4K games, 4K Blu-rays, 4K Netflix and everything with HDR.

I don't think we will see 5 year long gen again. Last gen, things were going well until 2012-13 when the consoles were too obsolete and games started flopping. Neo and Scorpio will solve the problem with the final years.

Modern games take a long time to be developed. I'm afraid that in a short gen a lot of games couldn't even release on time. If PS5 arrived in 2018, it's way likely that GTA, Elder Scrolls, Red Dead Redemption, GoW and many other big titles wouldn't arrive on time for the gen or would have to compete with the PS5.

People say that this gen hasn't started yet and they are kinda correct. If you think about the PS3, games only started to make then gen amazing around 2010-11, 4 to 5 years after launch.

“We’ve traditionally seen that some of the core audience tends to gravitate back to high-end PCs at some point because these are the people who want the finest graphical performance”

I just can't see myself being a couch TV gamer and then suddenly just switch up to play at a desk.  Does anybody use their PC and hooked up to a TV to play on the couch?

I actually did this, i upgraded my PC back in 2010 and switched back to PC for most of the multi platform games(anything that didn't have local multiplayer basically). In my view last gen simply lasted way to long.

Combine this with less powerfull consoles this generation and less or atleast longer development time for exclusives and look what happens. We went from a PC platform that some considered near death at the beginning of last gen to a complete resurgence now with MS seemingly jumping ship and moving towards PC aswell.

For some things, but not what he is suggesting in finest graphical performance, while I still have all my older consoles ready to be set up, a lot of them have their librarys of games packed away in storage rooms in my house as such for things like the SNES or Megadrive I find it a hell of a lot easier to use a PC tucked under the TV for those sort of console experiences.

As for playing PC style games.... not really no, Overwatch and WoW are the 2 pc type games I use my main PC for and neither of those would work that well with a gamepad really in comparison to mouse / keyboard.
