Definitely is coming to PS4, they'd leave 110 million customers out in the dark if they didn't release it there. Of course, you could say that about Horizon 2 as well, but this particular game seems much closer to a cross-generational game than HZD2 does.

People who want a PS5 are going to buy a PS5. Who is going to spend upwards of $500 for a non-full fledged Spider-Man game that is probably going to be 10 hours long? to lock it behind a system that is probably going to be in short supply and will have probably a 10% of that PS4 userbase in that month. It's a absurdly bad business decision. This isn't some small PSN game and i am 100% sure it's not their decision, it's Marvels.
It's an interesting dilemma, because you can make a pretty strong case for either way and there are interested parties that go beyond Sony Interactive Entertainment. If they're operating on a limited budget and scope, it's probably easier to justify as a PS5 exclusive. I don't see why Marvel would be happy with putting the game on a platform that won't have more than 5-10M owners in the next year.......especially if that platform is anticipated to cost upwards of $500.

Yes. It looks like a PS4 game, why shouldn't it?
Also, it wouldn't make any sense to not release it on the ps4 foremost. That's where 99% of customers will be at that time.

Sidenote: Here's the game description from the PS.Blog:

"Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales from Insomniac Games and Marvel
The latest adventure in the Spider-Man universe will build on and expand Marvel's Spider-Man through an all-new story. Players will experience the rise of Miles Morales as he masters new powers to become his own Spider-Man. With PS5's ultra-fast SSD, players can near-instantaneously fast-travel across Marvel's New York City, or feel the tension of each one of Miles's web-swings, punches, web shots, and venom blasts with the DualSense wireless controller's haptic feedback. Highly-detailed character models and enhanced visuals across the game intensify the story of Miles Morales as he faces great, new challenges while learning to be his own Spider-Man."

I can see it being a late PS4 release. I'd feel it won't make launch day because Sony's going to need to give as many reasons as possible for people to buy a PS5.

I'm assuming not, largely because of Jim Ryan's statements somewhat recently about how they don't plan on straddling the line and want premium experiences that can only be played on the next box.

The new game will probably be using the SSD to do something that couldn't be done on PS4 so it is possible there are things we haven't seen yet to justify it being next gen exclusive aside from the graphics.
