The absolute earliest the console is coming out is 2019. Ain't never releasing in 2018 (which is next year, btw). Honestly, I see it as 50-50 between either 2019 and 2020.
Death Stranding maybe, but no way LoU2 misses 2019 with the way Naughty Dog works.
TLoU2 will be out well before 2020. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a Nov 2018 release...but an early 2019 seems more likely perhaps.
I like my Pro, but frankly every game which is possible on a PS4 Pro is possible on a standard PS4 as well, given they have basically the same CPU and memory solution and are only separated by a befier CPU.
If PS5 offers out-of-the-box BC to PS4 games (w/o any patches) this would be a huge switching trigger for all those who already purchased a huge retail and especially digital PS4 library, including all those PS+ games. It would also kill the "has no gamz" problem at the beginning.
I was about to say that the PS5 timing depends on the next Xbox platform but then I remembered that the XBX is just launching this year.
Would be crazy if Microsoft launches a new console just 2 years after the XBX just to piss of their hardcore fans.
If there's a chance to get a year head-start Microsoft should take it in 2019.
It's their best chance to regain some market share.

They'll go when they have volume 7nm.
.Feb 2019 - PS5 announcement
E3 2019 - PS5 official reveal / main presentation
Holidays 2019 - PS5 North American + European + other Western territories release date
Sony will probably keep releasing new consoles every 6 years with revision models in between.

Have more than 30 people been working on TLoU2 outside of the last month.
They just finished Lost Legacy. Unless it's a massively scaled down project a game of TLoU2's magnitude needs at least 3 years of full production to finish.
translation?
why is that utter bullshit?
at some point certain newer games are going to have the minimum baseline specs increased if they really are going to adopt the cell phone model for upgrades.
PS5 shouldn't be the 4K console it should be the 60fps console. First and foremost.
PS4 games will be designed to run on the baseline PS4 through the current generation. The PS4P makes up a tiny fraction of the ~60 million PS4s that have been sold.
I can see them pushing out the PS5 on the 25th anniversary of the PS1 in the west
September 1995 - September 2020
They could really make that a huge campaign
Who the fucking hell are TipRanks?
and? that doesn't really change them pushing the PS4P sku as the primary one they try and sell to consumers after some point.
PlayStation Meeting in February 2019
E3 2019 full-reveal
Launch November 2019.
Prediction:
No change in platform sales strategy from current-gen.
PS5 will be PS5. The base model for a new gen... just as PS4 was.
PS4 and PS4 Pro will continue to be sold even with PS5's release... just as PS3 was.
3-4 years into PS5 generation will introduce mid-gen upgrade, PS5 Pro. Same as PS4 Pro, there will be no exclusives and is merely a more powerful version of the base new-gen console.
Pro devices will never be default.
I'm only arguing that all the software will still be developed with the base PS4 in mind and not the PS4P.
I suppose it would be possible that the PS4P might be the main SKU a year into the future but they'd need to get the price down to $300 for that to happen. The majority of buyers will always go for the cheapest option available.
I wonder how many Pros make up the total sales of all PS4 sold?

I'm expecting an early 2020 release
Site that ranks analyst predictions and investing performance. Pachter is in the worst 10%.
(The point is that he's a very poor predictor of anything.)
I think PS4 is going to be with us for quite a long time still. Hardware improvements are getting harder and more expensive to accomplish with the death of Moore's Law. AAA videogames (The ones that create demand for more powerful hardware) are getting more and more bloated with ever increasing budgets and an unsustainable work culture that is driving engineers away to other fields. We have reached a point where current consoles can run most conceivable videogames outside of super-complex simulations that wouldn't be that fun to play. (And very expensive to create)Until the Pro can be manufactured cheaper than the Slim it will become the main SKU and by the time this could potentially happen, both will be phased out by the PS5.
I think PS5 will launch either 2019 or 2020 depending on whether Xbx catches on which I think it won't, otherwise no reason not to ride out this gen, cashing in the profits.
Ms won't go 2019 for sure, that's just over 2 years for the xIf there's a chance to get a year head-start Microsoft should take it in 2019.
