Next gen PS5 and next Xbox launch speculation - Secret sauces spicing 2019

There's a huge cost differential there, but the gap between what we're expecting of the new consoles and high end GPUs will get even bigger next year.
The only console that was ahead of top end pc tech at the time was PS Vita
Not really. PS2 and X360 were quite advanced for their age. Not ahead of the top PC, but how do you even define "Top"? When you get into SLI/CF territory, they become unmatchable no matter what you put into the console.
I meant anyone that would skip out on voting just to play video games, provided they'd do so otherwise.
Am I wrong for thinking next gen will be the most balanced systems we have seen in decades though? I don't see any weaknesses in the components we are looking at. Going into this gen we knew the CPU was shit from the start.
Dude said many devs have kits now and specifically called out Ubisoft. Neither of those things are true.
You're right and that's exactly why I'm not too hung up on GPU power. 60fps won't be standard, but it'll be far more common, I think.
Depends on whether they'll use SDD or not. If they stick with a HDD, it will be a bottleneck.
But from a traditional perspective taking into account CPU and GPU, yeah they'll well balanced. RAM may be a limiting factor though.
They should probably think about EOLing the Pro once PS5 comes out and do a PS4 super slim to discourage the pro as an upgrade path for the millions of PS4 owners. They could label the Pro as being an experiment.
Dev kits out in the wild are PC with console target spec'ed kits in a dev kit form factor, not the real ones with new silicon. New silicon dev kits are only inhouse in prototype stage. Applies to Sony and MS as well.
The new Harry Potter game will very likely be at the console launches too as NG exclusive. I reckon Sony has sewn up the marketing rights for that game.
In terms of games development would HDD be a bottleneck?
Isn't all it would do is increase loading times?
But games would be the same because everything is loaded and read off the ram anyway?
If anyone is curios what I voted for it is Second half of 2019,
Thank you good sir!
Please do tell how this tease would look like - I want to hear/read your vision.
I don't think anyone here is saying that a Fall 2019 launch is possible lol. We're talking about reveals, not launches...
Something like this at the end of PSX. Nothing fancy. Just something to get a spark going for the firestorm that is soon to come.
I think a Spring 2020 is possible for Sony. Recall that Sony introduced the PS4 Pro immediately as the new node shrink was available for the silicon. Isn't Navi targeting this fall?
I see Sony following shortly thereafter to give their hardcore audience access to new hardware as quickly as possible. No reason to wait unless there's a massive shortage of certain components.
For those saying it doesn't have the software...they have TLOU2. If it's a launch PS4/PS5 title just like BOTW, that's all they need to tide them over until the Holidays. And it worked very well for Nintendo.

So Sony doing their own event basically? In the Fall of 2019? Hm.
Ok let's put it this way in simple math/marketing terms -
#1 - January 30th of 2013 is when the PS4 Event Reveal date was announced.
#2 - February 20th, 2013 is when PS4 was Announced.
#3 - PS4 Launched on November 16th of 2013.
So we have same year announcement, same year release.
Now we live in a bit of time now and things do change within the industry on when/how are things officially talked about and what not. However, one thing I've learned is that there is always a general rule of thumb which is a time frame that's usually always in same spectrum.
The difference between February 20th and November 16th is basically 9 months.
If PlayStation 5 is going to be released in March 2020 (As Sony currently was/is planning (unless something internally changed in their strategy or something is lagging behind)
then let's do this - March is the 3rd month of 2020, take away 3 months you're in 2019. Take away another 6 months you're in June. What's in June ? E3. But wait, Sony is NOT doing or attending E3 at any form whatsoever.
Now hypothetically speaking what if I told you that Sony is doing this as bait? Microsoft will obviously have a conference at E3 in and most likely revealing their consoles at this point, they've been quiet vocal about their plans recently and their future stuff for the most part with all these studio purchases, project xCloud and so on.
What if Sony decided to do their own event on same day Microsoft is doing theirs but at a completely different venue and nowhere near E3 but rather once again in New York or whatever they place they want DURING the happenings of E3.
The reality is that sooner or later they will have to make some noise, they can't let Microsoft have the entire show floor to themselves for a whole week of E3. Something needs to happen either during it, or VERY SOON after. This is my 2 cents - take what you will from it.
EDIT - Overall though, if it's not during the Summer, then I would say Fall/Winter (which is still 2nd half of 2019 - it includes June to December) is a very good bet as well and honestly with PlayStation 25th anniversary coming up in December of 2019 which is around same time as PSX then this is pretty much guarantied where they break silence.

I don't expect Sony to say anything about next gen until at least TLoU 2 is released. I think the thinking inside Sony is that they want get these last few 1st/2nd party titles out the door (Days Gone, TLoU 2, Dreams, Death Stranding) to bookend the PS4's life in terms of in-house support, so they can start fresh hitting the ground running with PS5 support.
I would be very surprised if TLOU2, DS and GoT aren't a big part of the PS5 support as cross-gen titles.
Let me fix that for you "I definitely see Sony TLoU2 Playable on PlayStation 5 as well once it launches"
Ok. It's getting late here I am heading to bed. Good night fellas.
Though I doubt the 3 of them will release at the same time (as in PS5 launch).
Obviously this will depend on when PS5 is launching (if early 2020 then maybe some of them will release after that), but I can see one or two of them releasing before fall 2020 and then having a upgraded version at PS5 launch. Wonder how Sony would monetize that though, crossbuy would be ideal and not a "remastered" version.

Yeah, I think that sounds logical. Sony increases the size of the PS5's library and we (fingers crossed) might get 4K60 versions of these games.
Absolutely. In fact, I think Sony may be waiting on showing the PS5 versions before showing those games again.
Yeah, like I said...I think Sony wants to start PS5 out with a bang. Even if TLOU2 is ready, I think they will delay it to coincide with PS5. It would make a huge splash like BOTW did for Switch.
I do think that TLOU2 on PS5 would help sell units but Wii U sold really poorly, a lot of people had to buy the Switch to be able to play BOTW, that's not really the case here.
A Sony on Microsoft stab in the back bait and switch. Now THATS an anime betrayal
It's not so much about the WiiU or the PS4 as it is about the Switch and PS5.
A big title like that gets a lot of talk/mindshare about the new platform. The hype of both the new release of a AAA game AND a new platform is huge and gives a lot of initial momentum for the platform. Having it release first and PS4 and then be BC on the PS5 doesn't have the same effect, imo...I'd honestly rather wait until PS5 to play it my first go around, and I'll be too temped to play it first on PS4 if it releases before the PS5 version.
