Forums - Sony Discussion - PS5 Will Likely Be Backwards Compatible With PS4 Pro, Will Possibly Launch In 2019 – Michael Pachter

Not likely, but I can see a PS4 Pro slim coming in 2019....with 4K player :P



Around the Network

Well this just confirms that the PS5 WILL NOT release in 2019 since Patcher is predicting it lol.



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

Imagine PS5 being backwards compatibility to all Playstation consoles, damn that would be sick!
I personally am expecting a PS5 release during holidays 2020.

It'd be awesome, but I don't ever expect that to happen.



We need a new concept before we need new hardware. What are we going to do with 32GB of RAM, 16 core CPUs etc.? Just more resolution - there are diminishing returns already.



Nah, too soon.
The games would look like they are now in ps4 pro.

So this is a good thing since the PS4 Pro is less than a year old.

What? That would limit PS5 games. I want a true generational leap.

I want big leaps too but then Sony decided to make another console.

:)
It is a shame that PC games are limited by consoles...
But it will likely remain that way for another generation or two.

A VERY good thing in my opinion.

Star Citizen is not limited by consoles

it will take another generation or two for it to release though
