Interesting, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets announced at e3.

Lock if old.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

No way a PS5 gets announced..
I understand PlayStation sells great after launch of the next gen but the PS4 is selling like crack.

 

[bryanee]

It wont be announced at E3.

 

[jonno394]

Can't see it happening this year. Maybe next year announcement though.

 

[Jolkien]

No way it's too soon. I guess we'll see soon enough.

 

[Toki767]

Did they really predict them or did they just go based off leaks that were around for almost a year?

 

[Insane Metal]

Lol. No.

 

[The Technomancer]

no goddamn way

 

[Salvadora]

Would the technology even exist for a generational leap in a console for 2018?

Surely even if they did this, which they won't, it would just a a Scorpio Pro.

 

[Fail State]

As long as it's fully backwards compatible, go for it.

 

[ghostjoke]

That seems like a good way to piss of a lot of people. I don't see it.

 

[JayTapp]

If they keep the x86 architecture and same OS. Why not, 100% backward compatibility.

So maybe?

 

[Skyzard]

That's way too soon, people would be pissed off.

Unless maybe it is fully backwards compatible and games for it would work on the PS4/PS4pro... and releases christmas 2018.

PS4 PRO +

 

[Phoenix RISING]

Consoles going to be upgrading every other year like PC video cards?

 

[diablos991]

Too early. Hoping this isn't true.

 

[Acquiescence]

Don't see it happening. PS5 gets released 2019 at the earliest.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Maybe,just maybe announced next year, but not a chance we're getting an e3 announcement. Right?

 

[Rellik]

Lol. Imagine.

MS: We welcome you to Xbox Scorpio! The most powerful console on the market.
Sony: Introducing the PlayStation 5! The most powerful console on the market.

Spoiler

This won't happen

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Announcement could possibly be 2018 but the console is still 2019.

 

[Zalman]

I would not be happy with that. Even 2019 feels early, even though I think that's fairly possible.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Yeah, I really can't see this happening until late 2019 at the earliest.

 

[Guymelef]

Things:

-Prediction is from past July
-Takashi Mochizuki from WSJ talked about Damian Thong prediction last year,
-Takashi Mochizuki from WSJ talks again about SAME prediction this year in a new article about Sony fiscal year.
-Takashi Mochizuki from WSJ gives him credit because he "predicted" PS4 Neo and PS4 Slim last July.

And the funny thing is when he talked about PS4 Neo... the rumor was everywhere for months...

 

[Fat4all]

dubious

 

[D4Danger]

That would be a real slap in the face for pro owners. Not even a year old.

 

[exmachina64]

Don't see it happening. PS5 gets released 2019 at the earliest.

.

 

[floatingcoffins]

I hope it's called Scorpion.

 

[Floody]

I can see it getting announced in 2018, but I think 2019 is the earliest it'll release. Rushing it out seems kinda silly, especially as the PS4 is still killing it, and I don't think the Switch or Scorpio will change that either.

 

[RoboPlato]

I'm still expecting fall 2019

 

[Hexer06]

I would be livid if they did. I don't think they will tho. I wouldn't be the only one mad they just bought a pro and ps5 comes 2 years later. Unless they have an amazing trade in program for it, which I don't see that happening either. Lol

 

[Josh7289]

Anyone can make a couple right guesses. That doesn't mean they'll always be correct.

Unless this person has actual reliable insider information, their word is only speculation that's hardly better than any random GAFfer's.

 

[Tonky]

There are games announced for PS4 that are releasing after 2018. This is bullpoop

 

[Principate]

Yeah, I really can't see this happening until late 2019 at the earliest.

Pretty much. I can 2019 release if Sony doesn't feel going through many years of shipments decline but not next year.

 

[Toki767]

-Prediction is from past July

That's what I thought.

People were talking about it since March of last year and this guy gets credit for mentioning it in July lol

 

[Nirolak]

Unless they're doing a continual line of consoles going forward, I'm projecting Fall 2019.

 

[Mediking]

Lmao just no. Focus on more games and features on PS4.

And PSVR.

 

[funkystudent]

I think if Sony can launch the PS5 in 2019 they will. I bet they already have a decent idea where they are going. Cerny hammered home they still think generations are a thing so I dont really expect a PS4 Pro Pro.

In 2018 I think they do price drops and slimmer revisions across the board.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Fall 2019 at earliest

 

[GET2DAACHOPPAAAA]

Pls no

 

[Vital Tundra]

Unless its fully backwards compatible no way its happening. The PS4 just started its stride. The first 2 years alone were nothing.

 

[The God]

Does have to be a PS5. Could be a PS4 Pro "2"

 

[Orayn]

2019 seems more likely to me since that would put the Pro at the midpoint of the PS4's lifespan.

 

[jdmonmou]

That would be a real slap in the face for pro owners. Not even a year old.

I think they're going to be real upset when they find out the pro is not forward compatible with PS5.

2018 sounds about right for a PS5. I just hope they make it back compatible with PS4.

 

[Josh7289]

Does have to be a PS5. Could be a PS4 Pro "2"

New PlayStation 4 Pro

 

[titiklabingapat]

The PS4 is sitting pretty. Sony would be really stupid to cut off its leg. They are no Nintendo.

 

[Cynn]

PS5 announced. Less powerful that Scorpio. Sky falls.


No way in hell the PS5 hits before 2020.

 

[hemo memo]

Analyst job is fun.

2019 at the earliest.

 

[Ferr986]

Fuck that. They better not.

 

[Memento]

They are not going to release PS5 in 2018 lol.

They are not even going to announce it in 2018.

God of War, Spiderman, Days Gone, The Last of Us 2, Sucker Punch new IP, etc are all coming out 2018 (TLOU2 could be 2019 though). They are not going to announce or release any new console in the same year of all these big software releases, come on.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Nope.

 

[120v]

grain of salt and all but i could see this... seems like MS/Sony want to tier consoles as much as possible so it'd makes sense to have something putting Pro at mid range (i mean after all it's not particularly a behemoth piece of hardware). though how that plays into "ps5" and forward, backwards compatability, a question mark

/armchair speculation
