We already saw that happen with this gen though. PS4 was announced in February and it released in November. That is nearly 1 year. It partially worked because they had event after event to keep the hype rising instead of peaking and then declining.
9, 10, 12, and 16 were all found in OSX.
Go and look Spiderman tech talk, they had to optimize the game so much not only because of the "small" 50GB BD disc, but also because of the slow HDD.
I personally don't think it will change much if MS has the spotlight all to themselves. I see the moves MS makes as potentially helping their position but not hurting Sony much at all. When the PS5 is announced, it will bring a massive wave of attention and hype regardless of MS. That is thanks to Sony's position in the market and mindshare. Sony is the only one that can ruin that.
I mean, you're making it seem as if all of the big 3 need to be considerate or something. They're in competition with one another. They do things to one up each other all the time.
This has pretty much been my stance.

Just have whatever number you would have ready for a normal November launch but move it up a month or two. I'm not talking spring I'm talking Fall just earlier Fall than literally the season where new consoles will always sell the most anyway
You really need to get off this 2019 horse.....
And a big part of that would involve Sony being as conservative as possible. Basically, focusing on weaknesses that they need patching up but don't change what wasn't broken.
Nothing wrong with being skeptical, insiders can be off with certain details, so it's not the worst idea to wait until we have multiple sources confirming all the major third parties have kits.
I would say that PS4 Superslim would likely be revealed and perhaps even released on the same day PS5 is announced.
I still don't know what to expect nor when to expect it. Just looking at past behavior... 🙃
I just think it is easier to market the Superslim, once the full BC on the PS5 is made official.
As I mentioned earlier, $199 would likely be achieved by having huge amounts of corner cutting.
I think super slim base for $199 and $299 slim pro would perfectly pave the way for a $399-$499 PS5 in fall 2020
PS3 was revised up until 2012, with Cell and RSX getting a lot of die shrinks. There were even rumors of a 2014 revision with 22nm cell that never materialized. Perhaps those ended up in PSNow servers only?
It's cool if you don't notice the lag but developers will never do this kind of thing. A developer would expect you to set your TV to gaming mode, by not only not setting it to gaming mode but to IM mode, you got ~100ms delay vs gaming mode without IM and gaming mode on, depending on your TV. Microsoft actually has a feature since 2018 where the Xbox will try to set your TV to gaming mode if your TV has this feature. If you don't see the difference then go ahead but developers spit blood in order to save 16.7ms and get their game to 60 for maximum responsiveness so 100ms would be blasphemy in their eyes.
I would think such a card would start at $349. or slightly less. If they want to be disruptive.
It's actually not that far from per-pixel motion blur that games do today. It can make a 30FPS game feel pretty smooth because the blur acts as a transition from one frame to the next. It's also the reason why a film that is running @24FPS look nice to our eyes, every frame captures a smeared interval of time vs pixel perfect shot in computer graphics so it feels smooth to our eyes. That's why I love motion blur in cinematic games, it's my favorite post-processing effect :)
Microsoft is going to do this with the discless Xbox. It's a great idea because it removes the largest part of the console. Just doing that and moving to 12nm or 10nm could create a crazy small box. I'm guessing we are going to see more of that because it seems as if Gamestop is dying so Microsoft and Sony don't have pressure from retail to keep discs alive anymore.
You can find Vega 56 for 320$ so I guess they will need to got 299$ or lower :)
