Official PlayStation Next-Gen plans (2020, Wired Exclusive Article) [ Ray Tracing, BC, SSD, & more]

Of course there is. So much of that tech has gotten so much cheaper over time.
Damn well they ticked the boxes on my wishlist. Not only do we get SSD but it's some superior next gen SSD. Even better.
I expected ray tracing and AMD but mostly surprised that backwards compatibility. I suppose PS4 launch had pretty slow roll out of good games. Backwards compatibility will help fill in the time.

What a strange info drop.
Really happy about the CPU and the fact that the GPU is Navi. Hopefully the GPU has a lot of horse power and MS matches the specs.
Wonder what the RAM situation is.

This is pretty much a wish list of features that would be laughed at in any speculation topic. If Sony can pull this off at $500 then holy shit.
Maybe they plan to use PCIe4.0 drives that are not available right now.
Yeah. I'd pop 'OFFICIAL' in the thread title to wave off any confusion from a casual glance.
Anyways. What an exciting surprise.
The existence of PSN, PSnow, and a greater share of game purchases being digital going forward (which is MUCH more profitable for Sony) means that the typical calculus of how much a console costs isn't applicable.
Sony can afford to take much greater losses on the hardware than they could with the PS1, 2, 3, or 4.
very nice! My first instinct of 2020 was right! BAHUMBUG those who convinced me of a 2019 launch. PSHHHHHHH
I want to hear more about this 3D audio. Sony's own take or will they use one of the current formats like DTS X, Auro 3d , Atmos ... ?

But 360 games capped at 30fps still run at 30fps on the One, unless they're patched. Unfortunately Bloodborne is capped.
Ssd and Bc are really good. Considering the power of this new console Ps3 BC could also be possible through emulation looking at what rpcs3 can do even with just 4 cores Cpus and without being optimized yet.
Let's not even talk about Ps2 and Ps1 BC . They could make Ps5 the ultimate Ps console. I really hope they are adding ps3,ps2 and ps1 too, but Ps4 BC alone is enough to make me interested in buying it day one. Will start saving money for that 500€ Ps5. Can't see it being lower priced with those specs.

That would be amazing to hook up my brand new PS5 and be able to connect my current PSVR headset. This news is great that I'll be buying more VR games and can start buying more digital with confidence knowing they will carry over.
This is sucha great move by Sony to announce this consumers will be remain in your ecosystem and be less likely to jump ship.

Just to confirm my ability to read English at a semi competent level, nothing was discussed about the PS5 controller, correct?
I just get very skeptical when i read speccs like that and tryna retail it at $400, i am going like ... hmmm nah. It just feels like this shit will be more expensive to manufacture than even the 2006 PS3.
You're able to say as such with Backward compatibility, core count and RT capabilities ?
No, it is. That just means it's x86 architecture. So it's like making a generational leap when building a PC
Not a chance. The cell / blu-ray drive were mad expensive in 2006.
These days even NVMe SSDs are cheap. Blu-ray drives are cheap. The only real expensive thing would be the APU, and they get mad discounts from AMD on that.
BC is wonderful news. I mean you had to figure it was coming but killing off any doubt is great.
But everything sounds like expected? It's vague enough that it should be profitable for them while being technically right too.
with the base/pro likely to happen again i guess i'll have to see what are the games avaible in the first year
I mean i was gonna buy a PS5 regardless. But this article just told me to start saving up right now.
In theory can SSDs be faster than PCs allow due to PCI limitations?
correct me if i am wrong here, but isn't SDD pretty much guarantees the console to be very pricey?i mean even 1TB SSD is still what $400?
Sounds more like a reason to slap "8K support!" on the boxes than anything else. Unless they're absolutely bringing the beef, 8K native is gonna be extremely rare.
