To be fair though, despite the Xbox One and Playstation 4 using older tech. - Graphics Core next 1.1 had only just started to trickle in with Bonair. So it's not like there was a substantual feature difference.
It wasn't untill Tonga (Graphics Core Next 1.2) did Graphics Core Next push ahead with things like Delta Colour Compression.

There will be a  big feature difference between NCU and what we get after Navi.

So ps4 is going to be replaced soon.

2019 is still far away.

this.

people should have been able to call this shortly after the ps4 was announced.  the archtecture change is all about making BC easy.  it will make it easier for developers to transition to the ps5.  it will make it nicer on customers to feel confident their previous library carries forward.  this is the whole point of a service,.. get the customer to invest enough in an ecosystem to be unwilling to change.

anyways,. it is too early to care about a ps5.  games have been slow to release this gen as is, a new gen isn't going to make that better.

People started making NX threads in 2015, I don`t see what is the problem to talk about PS5 and Scorpio now. It`s the same with PS4 and XB 720 back in 2012.

And anyway, I won`t trust any spec until official release. PS4 for a long time was rumoured to keep using Cell archtecture, and maybe it even was in Sony`s plan but they decided to use x86 duo to many factors. And remember when Xbox 720 was supposed to use Larrabee GPGPU.

It`s not impossible for Sony and MS to keep x86, but this alone won`t guarantee retro-compatibility. And even if Sony and MS decided to use another processor architecture it isn`t impossible to make it compatible with earlier gens. I do think Sony was extremely lazy with PS4 backwards compatbility, it should be extremely easy to make a PS1 and PS2 emulator for PS4, even PS3 if they felt like could be done too.

I do think backwards compatibility is extremely important, since now digital sales are very important, I should be able to play my games in any device I buy. Like, if I bought an app for an iPhone 3GS I should be able to play it in my iPhone 7, the same things with games. And I think it also would work as a ecosystem lock-in thing.

2019 Q4 to 2020 Q1 will be the earliest we can lay hands on one.
