I thought this was PS5 material. Epic from a technological perspective, no doubt.

Or Or OR! Disney cuts their contract with EA and we get a Naughty Dog Star Wars game with Amy Hennig?!

I can dream, right

Right, past new years would be better. That said this is day one for me now.

The software might be the only thing holding it back. I'm also casting major doubt on there being much of a difference between the 2019 and 2020 versions of Navi, if any at all. Remember, it's in AMD's best interest to release Navi ASAP as Nvidia has already released Turing. There's also the fact the 780 will likely just be a rebrand of the 680.

As far as the software goes, it could very well hold back PS5 until 2020. However 20...

This is why 2019 makes sense. The tech for the next few years is coming out with Navi/7nm in 2019 for consumers. Waiting just means it becomes more outdated- we won't get another jump for a long while and AMD is going HAM on 7nm.

All in all, waiting won't give us a price/performance boost, it just means it falls further behind. Unless we wait until 2023 or some crap and I'm casting major doubt on that.

Cheapest 2TB SSD is going to be atleast $250 in two years. Micron giving us a $299 2TB SSD was a pleasant surprise nobody expected, and we likely won't get much better of a deal as most are insanely more. Considering a HDD likely costs them $30 you're looking at jumping $220 at the bare minimum on a $400-$500 console, meaning $620-$720. Not happening.

We likely won't even get a SSD for PS6 although I'd love to see it.

TLOU came out the same year as PS4.

This generation could do the same, with the added benefit that it plays on PS5 so people don't feel left out. It will be like a usual launch year with the drought year, only it plays PS4 games as well in higher Res. Nobody is left behind, it just gives people time to adjust to the console and save for one over the first year.

First years are usually mostly hype/adoption years anyway. I don't hear people sayi...

Sony said 7 years is too long.

Waiting until 2021 won't do much. Next node is 5nm, a spinoff of 7nm and we don't even have a time frame for it, we could wait until 2022 and not get a serious price/performance increase.

As it stands the tech for the next few years is coming out at the end of this year. Waiting just means the console becomes outdated like PS4 was at launch.

Holiday 2019, not early 2019. Damn that deserves an eye roll.

And the point is the price/performance won't increase much by waiting past 2020, so it would be ludicrous to think we'll get a release in 2021. 2019 or 2020 makes sense.

Also, Sony are the ones looking to be set up to take a loss for the console, not the consumer.

2729d ago 1 agree1 disagreeView comment

From a tech standpoint it makes sense. The tech for PS5 is essentially here by the end of the year, and waiting won't give us much more price/performance ratio as the 5nm node is a spinoff of 7nm and we don't even have an estimated timeframe on it. We could wait until 2021 and not even get any extra performance for the price.

The only thing holding them back would be possible supply shortages and getting the last run of games out, although it wouldn't be diffi...

Sony NEVER said the next console was more than 3 years away.

We also have to look at their financial estimates, they're expected to lose serious money in 2020 which likely means that a console will be released and they'll take a loss to give us a decent price for what they're offering.

I'm torn. I kind of want a 2070 or so to play a few less intensive games at 4K(Lost Ark, Planet Coaster, etc), but mainly play console because the games are optimized so generally look better than PC regardless. And next year we may very well be getting PS5, and I can throw the extra money into a 4K TV instead as well.

So I'll probably hold off as well, I might get a 1060/2060 for MadVR and playing games at 1080p or 1440p downsampled though.

It's an interesting situation since it's a hybrid but with the right IPs I think it's going to improve before it levels off.

I'm interested in buying one once I get the finances but they have a real chance for getting their 3DS market and console market aligned. Golden Sun for instance would be a big one for me.

I think it will fall right between Xbox One and PS4 sales to be honest.

4K60 streaming with high latency even on gigabit? Pass. We're nowhere near ready for a streaming box.

Even considering the latency not being entire crap, you understand the price difference in cable service would negate any savings from buying a regular console, right? And Sony's 1st party studios are still best in the business. Even if we get GTX 1180tis on Xbox they need studios to max it out. Frankly I don't even believe this nex-gen MS console is stream...

Dr Stronk. Then you obviously need to understand grammar, because your comment makes no sense. "Oldest, best selling" means that is both oldest and best selling, both of which are incorrect.

In no way would your comment ever make sense.

"oldest RPG"

As if you forgot Ultima, DQ, oh yeah, Dungeons and Dragons.

And no "Nintendo Haters" are putting OT on blast, it's a 2.5D game, you really think it's gonna score high? Rather Nintenhards like you are skewing results because people that didn't like it put it down and didn't vote on it.

Gimme a break. Everything about your comment is ignorant, assuming, and di...

Good for you, I'd rather FF never be ATB based again.

And the point is that together Dissidia and KH have every feature in traditional Turn-based RPGs and more. And we're already seeing a setup that will allow for more intricacy than in FFX just from the single FFVIIR trailer. We've got All the same menus and will be able to take turns with characters.

Bingo. Statistics disagree but they're not having any of it.
