Digital Foundry: PlayStation 5 - When can Sony truly deliver a generational leap in power?
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
cause 5 years into the market we have not get a fraction of the games (quantity and quality) past gens had, games dev cycles are taking longer and longer, and will only increase unless devs start to compromise in GRAPHIX.
Pretty much.
7nm CPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 12TF+ GPU at $399 would be amazing. Just don't skimp on the CPU, and make sure the GPU is powerful enough that 4k across the board is standard. That way a potential PS5 Pro can be all about the framerate.
Honestly I feel power is getting less relevant. Higher resolutions are certainly a plus but the games we're playing on consoles right now feel jaw-dropping already and the bar gets pushed ever further.
Hit the 399 sweetspot and i'm there day one again.

Is this because you have a backlog?
Just finish your PS4 games.
I dont know why suddenly this gen people became caring about BC when Nintendo been doing it for years.
and im still laughing at this

BC is objectively a useful feature to have and increases the console's value, even if people may not use it that much. It's a given they'll integrate it to the PS5 in some capacity, since MS is also invested in it. Odd response.
This will happen and it will be damn sexy.
Pretty good video by Richard & DF.
Yes please
And yes I agree with 2020 @ 399.
Will be there day one if so
I personally don't mind it going for 499 for me specifically because I can easily afford it, but I definitely believe that $399 is the sweet spot.
What's with the like:dislike ratio?
...Because it's not only Nintendo doing it? Sony did it before and now they don't and that's why people are asking for BC.
Sony's been doing it for years too, PS2 and PS3 both had BC...
Yup, and it's the one thing that's i'm willing to bet money on being set in stone.
Releasing a mainline console over 400 bucks is a dumb move regardless of power.
I havent had a chance to watch the video yet, but my expectations are fully tempered around a $499 price tag. That tag makes sense when factoring in inflation and the increasing costs of R&D and manufacturing. I also expect cross gen development to actually be more of a thing for the next cycle, so the PS4Pro/X can occupy the $300 range while the new machines target a greater premium.
If you think the increased Dev cycles for games is primarily because of graphics then I have some bad news for you...
It's pretty much gonna be a given that it will, considering they are pretty much gonna stay with the x86 architecture and that makes it infinitely easier for BC and makes it a no brainier.
Generally, while I would love to see a new system by the end of this year, I think it will be November 2019 and hopefully be at least 10 TF of power, which is more than double that of the PS4 Pro.
Watch them not not have it
Y'all are crazy, it's been almost half a damn decade
Yeah, I don't see that happening next year for £350 at retail.
I really hope they take the cooling solution seriously this time, that's my one major gripe about PS4/Pro.
Why would Sony release it before 2020 ? Makes no sense to me considering the situation they are in.
Fall 2020 is my bet.
Yea, but the first few years didn't have a ton of games.
