Re: Soapbox: Fans Think PlayStation's Losing Momentum, And Sony's to Blame

@jdv95 im a huge PlayStation guy as I had a PS4 day 1 and traded it for PS4 Pro 3 Years after which I enjoy but the damn system is soo loud, I tell it how it is Sony has done nothing but just sleep the last year, but Xbox has been making all the right moves heading into Next Gen, For Example they bought 7 studios, they have game pass, they killed it with B/C, they’ll have a payment option on their next Console, they are heavily invested in the cloud and streaming, they’re open with their fan base.

@PS_Nation I should of been more clear I meant Xbox is heading in the right direction and making the right moves for the future, For Example they bought 7 studios, they have game pass, they killed it with B/C, they’ll have a payment option on their next Console, they are heavily invested in the cloud and streaming, they’re open with their fan base, Sony has been a sitting duck the last year and just cancelling events.

Re: Rumour: 'Beastly' PS5 Dev Kits in the Wild, But Not Due Until 2020

@BAMozzy Technology isn’t the problem for when PS5 could launch it’s having the software available for it, There is no chance of a PS5 launching next year and this is what you exactly said about Navi in your comment 7nm Navi GPU's are set to launch this year (2018) you’re delusional in what you write and a 7nm Vega isn’t for gaming, you need to really look into what you post. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-vega-20-7nm-graphics-cards/amp/

@BAMozzy if PS5 launched late this year it would make no sense as 7nm isn’t available, specs are locked 2 years from launch I have a link down below with Marc Cerny explaining everything, there is no November 2019 launch it doesn’t matter what you think or what lines up perfectly, Sony is in Command by a big margin this Gen their people crunch up the numbers and decide when they should launch, it’s beyond obvious that PS5 is launching either March 2020 or November 2020.

PS5 is definitely launching November 2019, Sony stated that Mid Gen which is 3 years after PS4 launched they noticed some of their user base switch to PC, that’s why 3 year hardware refresh cycles for PlayStation will be perfect going forward and even Cory Barlog favors this model going forward. You get 2 options you can upgrade every 3 years or every 6 years, PS4 28nm November 2013, PS4 Pro 16nm November 2016 and PS5 7nm November 2019

Re: Sony Announces 2TB PS4 Pro Coming to Japan This Month

@rjejr I’ve been a student level subscriber at SemiAccurate since 2012, I knew about PS4 Pro before PS4 launched and as of last February I found out that PS5 is launching in 2019, but the SemiAccurate article wasn’t out until April. Sony is switching to 3 year hardware refresh cycles as that’s their best strategy going forward, and gives their user base 2 options they can upgrade every 3 years or every 6 years. PS5 will be announced next year and launch later in November. PS4 28nm November 2013, PS4 Pro 16nm November 2016 and PS5 7nm November 2019

Re: Sony Announces 2TB PS4 Pro Coming to Japan This Month

@rjejr Using Japan as a 2014 launch is a very weak case, PS4 launched November 2013 in the US, Canada and other places and was very successful, Japan is a small target and wasn’t a concern for Sony to launch there November 2013 and PS3 was delayed not just because of the DVD drive, it’s space alien technology was a drag from the start with PS5 using X86 again there won’t be any issues at all. Holiday 2019 was always the plan when PS4 launched November 2013 PS4 Pro was already decided for November 2016 and when PS4 Pro launched November 2016 PS5 was already decided for November 2019. Sony is switching to 3 Year Hardware Refresh Cycles as that’s their best strategy going forward and gives their user base 2 options they can upgrade every 3 years or every 6 years, like I stated before “Everyone” Q1 next year at The PlayStation Meeting Event will find out PS5 is launching Holiday 2019. https://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/08/playstation-3-was-delayed-originally-planned-for-2005

Re: Sony Announces 2TB PS4 Pro Coming to Japan This Month

@rjejr 7 reasons that PS5 Is launching Holiday 2019
1. The 'length' of the generation. Anecdotally speaking - on the first-party side it was definitely seen that the previous gen was too long. It was 7 years for the PS3->PS4. A PS4->PS5 in 2019 would be 6 years.
2. Symmetry. With PS4 in 2013, PS4 Pro in 2016, and PS5 in 2019, it pegs the 'mid-gen' squarely in the exact middle of the base model and next-gen model, and that sets a good timing precedent for future audiences.
3. The 'cross-gen' reality. Early PS4/XB1 was wrought with many, many games that were available for both generation of consoles, since AAA games are expensive and most 3rd-party publishers will not risk releasing a game strictly for the highest spec consoles. That means even if PS5 and XB2 are released in 2019, there'll be approximately a 2-year maturation period as games transition from cross-gen to next-gen. IMO, cross-gen actually incentives that next-gen consoles are released sooner than later - since it means that the current-gen console base would still be relatively healthy while next-gen transition are going on.
4. Sony's lack of announcements this E3. Say what you want about Sony - they've never been gun-shy at revealing games early. While it's true that TLOU2, GOT and DS could very well be 2020 games, there's actually enough empty space in the 2019-2020 space of games that they could afford one or two announcements but there was none of it even at their biggest stage of the year. IMO, that means that they were not able to - since any game that isn't announced at this point ( AAA-level ) are PS5 only games.
5. The 'success' of the PS4. Unlike some of you, I believe that the success of the PS4 is all the more reason to accelerate the release of the PS5. I believe that the most rational and ideal business execution of the PS5 is not to wait until PS4 is sunsetting in it final year, but to release in the first year of its final 3-years. That way, PS5 will benefit from a relatively mature 2-year cross-gen period where PS4 is still a healthy console rather than one-year good and one-year sluggish. And I definitely think that 2019 will be "Year One" of PS4's final 3 years of significant software support.
6. I don't believe that next-gen console are defined by leaps in hardware technology - but in the best business timing that matches with a significant enough improvement to be able to sell the next flagship box. You need both - and while 2019 might not necessarily be the best timing from a pure technology standpoint, it'll be enough imo - for something that is 5.5-6x more powerful GPU wise than the base PS4. Enough to sell a generational leap.
7. MID-GEN. DOES. NOT. EXTEND. THE. LENGTH. OF. A. CONSOLE. GENERATION.

PS5 November 2019 next year is gonna be Awesome, look at the past comparison the proof is in the pudding, in 2012 Infinity Ward put a Next gen Job listing and the next year Next Gen launched and they released Call Of Duty Ghost and it was Cross Gen on Next Gen 8 Consoles, 6 years later Infinity Ward put a Next Gen Job listing and they’re gonna release Modern Warfare 4 next year and it’ll be Cross Gen on Next Gen 9 Consoles.

@Neolit PS4 had a successful launch with just having Knack and Killzone: Shadow Fall as Exclusives, Exclusives at launch aren’t as important as people think, but from what I’ve heard is that when PS5 launches Holiday 2019 it’ll have a new Killzone game, Deep Down and a PlayStation all stars cart racing game.

@Neolit The Last Of Us 2, Ghost Of Tsushima and Death Stranding are getting polished right now and are going to be launching throughout 2019 hopefully we’ll some release dates for them at The Game Awards In December, people that think that some of them are 2020 games and that PS5 is launching in 2020 just never knew what the plan was and what the release schedules were. “Everyone” will find out Q1 next year at The Playstation Meeting Event that PS5 is launching Holiday 2019. PS4 Pro came out as a Mid Gen Upgrade 3 Years after PS4 half way through PS4’s 6 year Console Cycle, It’s obvious to me that Sony is switching to 3 year hardware refresh cycles as that’s Sony’s best strategy going forward and that gives their user base 2 options they can upgrade every 3 years or every 6 years.

There will be chatter about PS5 there for sure, but the real news from Sony comes Q1 next year when The PlayStation Event is announced.
