Forums - Sony - PS5 WILL NOT Have PS4 Biggest Problem

0D0 on 18 February 2020

So they're saying PS5 is going to be cool?



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

There were three ravens sat on a tree / They were as blacke as they might be / The one of them said to his mate, Where shall we our breakfast take?

PS4 was modeled after Katy Perry.

PS5 is modeled after Foreigner



PS1   - ! - We must build a console that can alert our enemies.

PS2  - @- We must build a console that offers online living room gaming.

PS3   - #- We must build a console that’s powerful, social, costs and does everything.

PS4   - $- We must build a console that’s affordable, charges for services, and pumps out exclusives.

PRO  -%-We must build a console that's VR ready, checkerboard upscales, and sells but a fraction of the money printer.

PS5   - ^ -We must build a console that’s a generational cross product, with RT lighting, and price hiking.

PRO  -&- We must build a console that Super Res upscales and continues the cost increases.

PS4's biggest problem was Microsoft.  I'm pretty sure that problem is going to be there, and probably worse this time.

But if we are talking technical features, then the main things I wanted were backwards compatibility and the ability to play/rip CDs.  It also would be nice if I could just put a new game in and start playing immediately.  Instead I wait an hour or more because of installs and patches which kind of sucks.  Actually, that may even be a bigger issue than backwards compatibility.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

The noise never bothered me.

I thought the thread would be about something more meaningful.

Spending this kind of money, in comparison to what is typical, makes me think PS5 will be another slimmer model console like PS4/Pro was at launch. They could choose to go with a bigger shell and cheaper cooling like XB1 did, or a smaller shell and expensive cooling like XB1X. Sounds like they may be targeting a smaller than anticipated design.

Long term is much cheaper to expend a couple more dollars on cooling and save on size, because that not only save on the plastic used, but also packaging material, shipping cost and warehousing.

@OP for me the real only issue I have with PS4 is the same I had with PS3, and that was PSN loading and then navigation there, everything there is slow and stuck all the time.

I haven't had any problems with noise. My PS4 and later the Pro have been in the vertical position on my open TV stand. Maybe it's been getting better ventilation that way, as opposed to a cramming it into an enclosed space and having it in the horizontal position?
