Go Go Neo Rangers!
Well, the X actually has some potential to force Sony to move, if the X starts selling extremely well and then multiplats start to completely leave the ps4 in the dust from a graphics perspective. Sony could of course start pushing the pro harder with a price drop and marketing to effectively combat the X though to hold for a Ps5 until 2020 or 2021. I think by 2019 though we will start to hear some concrete rumblings at least about Ps5. A fall 2020 release is a 7 year life cycle, and 4 years after pro release. Both systems will be looking long in the tooth a bit even by fall 2019, with the X looking relatively advanced.
I mean I get the logic here but is sony really that concerned? They are making money and PlayStation is one of their profitable brands for a company that was struggling to make money.
Introudcing a new machine just because the competition is beating you in power, just doesn't make sense to me.
But I guess if they make ps5 100 percent backwards compatible, it would lessen the blow of starting a a whole new generation when you're already doing so well.
Obviously the ps5 will be based on Ryzen and Vega, but I wonder how easy it'll be to make it backwards compatible with Jaguar and... I'm blanking on the name of the GPU class in bone and PS4, but you get what I'm asking. 😂
