No point in arguing lies and list wars. You know the truth, but choose to twist facts to fit the agenda. Enjoy that.

List wars? You do realize that Lort was the one that was doing the list right? And exactly which part is thelastword lying about? If you're going to call him out on it, then at least explain instead of doing drive bys. It's a fact that both of these consoles are not true 4k machines.

I believe because one poster argued that the PS5 will be barely better than the XBONEX and that next gen launch games will be hard to distinguish from this gen's anyway......Ha ha, something to that effect........which is why when you put things into perspective, the XBONEX only has three true 4k games (Forza, KI and Super Lucky) and super Lucky is not even a locked 60fps, has many dips here, with tearing, as low as 39fps...So i'm really not seeing how a PS5 that will actually be a true 4k machine, with 4k assets across the board, is going to have games looking similar to this gen's games or similar to the XBONEX for that matter.....

X1 has only 3 4K games folks...

No way the then turn around and make "another" console if the X1X doesn't sell well over the next year. MS's investors would hate that.

MS has already lost this gen. X1X isn't helping much either. If Sony releases in 2019, there is no way MS will give them a 1 year headstart.

Cold Toffee asked why there was so much XBONEX talk in this thread and I said, it's because of this choice post right here...

The xbox one x has restored the precident of xbox being the best machine and will muddy the waters for the ps5.

Once the Ps5 comes out the xbox s and xbox one x will be much cheaper and be promoted as full hd and uhd consoles. Ps5 will find it hard to define how it is in anyway next gen when ( like almost all new gens) the games look very similar to previous gen on launch. With the xbox one x there will be very little difference.

Then said poster said that many actually agreed with this assessment above.....which speaks for itself really...

Btw, all the information I posted can be corroborated here. For a more up to date list, you can get it on the other site......Also, there are many more 2160p games on PS4 PRO, just listed the biggest ones.....There are even some which released last week like Paradise or today in AC Rogue....

You think those games are native 4k?

Lets recap as can be clearly seen here i never mention native 4k or any list wars. I dont even comment about how much more or little the ps5 will be more powerful. This question is purely about marketing, the ps4 pro and xbox one x are both marketed as uhd consoles. Ive stuck to this question at every point i can however some people obviously are a little sensitive and have completely derailed it by turning it into console wars. After quoting others saying that there are only 3 native 4k games i linked not listed to a list showing they are wrong. After they persisted i named some which subsequently they could no longer confirm or deny. Instead lists were posted about ps4 pro games which is completely off topic .. unless u relate back to my point which actually PROVES the pro is MARKETed as a UHD console. So what is the ps5 going to be marketed as?

This whole section makes it clear exactly who is intent on fillbustering off topic console wars misinformation. Please stick to the topic guys .. how is ps5 going to differenciate itself from the market? 4k60?

Lots of persons believe Ghosts of Tsushima and FF7 Remake will meet PS5's launch, in essence, there's no rush to releasing these games yet...It makes sense since I don't think these games are close to releasing yet........PS5 launch should be really interesting, if you get the rockstar games, tlou2, days gone etc.....

Also many folk are talking about BC, but unless BC is 60fps, I don't think it will carry much weight past the first few days or weeks....The engineering team must get PS4 code to run unlocked, (all of them)...That's on top of the a rez boost to 2160p on PS5 with max AF and maybe some TAA......I think next gen there will also be more options in the OS, choose your type of AA, framecap, 60fps/unlocked...etc...

Wow listen to the console war boys crow, i never said anything about sales figures only that due to mid gen refresh and cheap relevant base consoles an underpowered (ie soon) ps5 wont look much different in games and wont be able to show much different to whats out now. As i said this happens every console release. The xbox one x is more powerful than the pro just like the 360 was ( in 99% of games) more powerful than the ps3 and the original xbox was more powerful than the ps2. Being a premium console owner this matters to me i prefer my 4k native and i cbf with pc tweaking graphics settings. I love my devices silent even the fan on my surface 3 pro bugs me .. so over pc gaming but your welcome to buy a pc.

Anyway i dont know why your all quoting me as i said nothing about sales figures.. only that xbox has regained the performance title for consoles and wont be giving it back. Phil spencer even said as much.. hed wait to ensure that..

Lets recap as can be clearly seen here i never mention native 4k or any list wars. I dont even comment about how much more or little the ps5 will be more powerful. This question is purely about marketing, the ps4 pro and xbox one x are both marketed as uhd consoles.

How about you stop lying? Nobody asked you to name some. The PS4 was marketed as a more powerful machine than the PS3, that's it. Why do you expect anything different with the PS5? The PS5 will be next gen whether you think it is or isn't.

FF7 Remake might meet PS6 launch, not sure about PS5.
I don't understand why people are fighting over resolutions, gameplay >>>> resolution everytime.

I know you're just here to troll, but just so that no one gets confused....The three games I mentioned were exclusive to the XBONEX.....but since your buddy lort mentioned TR and Destiny, I thought I would show even PRO has lots of multiplats that are 4k too.....In essence, that in no way signifies that the PRO and PS5 games will be similar with not much difference between them, and the same applies for the XBONEX which has less 4k games.....PS5 games will be at the level of a new generation and not at the level of PRO or XBONEX, despite these consoles having a few 4k native games....


Ok so I used console exclusive games only, but if we want to go that route......The PRO has

I'm pretty sure, most of these which are also on XBONEX are native 4k, but in no way does this say PS4 PRO is a true 4k machine. It's definitely not across the board and in no way will it be comparable to 4k native offerings on a PS5, and neither will the XBONEX which happens to have less native 4k games than PRO at this time.....There is just no way we can make a connection to the quality of these 4k games to what we will get on a PS5 as PS5's games will be built with 4k in mind and have the power to do so across the board....With ambitious games, not just indies, remasters and low GPU footprint games....
So I think you know that I was only referring to exclusives, and for anyone who states I'm lying, I have presented a list to corroborate.....What have those who say I'm lying presented except troll.....As far as exclusives go...The pro has, Wipeout, MLB The Show, TLOU-R, Miku, Kingdom Hearts just to name a few...That doesn't make any difference to the quality you will see on PS5......Even the best looking games on PS4 at 1080p resolution will be tangibly below PS5 quality at 4k.....especially PS5 exclusives...
 
Can anyone tell me if the PS5 would be able to deliver a God of War with graphics of the level of this commercial CGI released today?

I think the graphic art is the same. The difference is in polygonal density, animations and lighting.

Him saying there is only 3 true 4k games on 1X. It's a lie and he knows it, but now he's twisted into his own meaning because I wasn't the only one that noticed. He just can't help himself.

I don't have to explain anything to people who don't follow conversations instead of just trolling and drivebying everywhere, perhaps you should read instead of doing what you do. If you see me list Forza7, Killer Instinct and Super Lucky as native games, you know I'm talking about exclusives on XBONEX, because why? They are exclusive to the console?........But I guess this is hard for you to understand because you felt your console of choice was accosted......The same way it was hard for you to understand that Cerny meant 8TF would do 4k across the board and that he didn't mean "that the only GPU that can do 4k is an 8TF machine"....but I guess it's just hard for you to put obvious and well stated things together, so there's that.

Still the point again, this generation of vanilla and mid gen consoles are not going to be anything similar to PS5 in terms of asset quality, resolution, ai, physics. It will take on a whole new level just as in any other gen before it, even more so next gen with a massive boost in CPU performance.......in vast contrast to.....

The xbox one x has restored the precident of xbox being the best machine and will muddy the waters for the ps5.

...this statement, which is factually false....... Did PS3/360 muddy the waters for PS4? Did ISS look similar in graphical quality to infamous1? Did Shadowfall look just like Killzone 3? Did Ryse look similar to the best looking 360 action titles? Was there was very little difference..? So XBONE-S and XBONEX are only going be marketed as fullHD and UHD consoles when the PS5 arrives, so how are they being marketed now? So if they're marketed as true 1080p and true 4k consoles in 2020, people are going to be confused on what PS5 offers because it will only be a UHD console too? Is that the logic....I mean if that post was not trolling, I dont know what is......So if I buy a 750ti and a 1080ti and they're both marketed as a 4k UHD GPU, there's no way I could tell the difference, because marketing has muddied the waters? ;) Yeah I get it...

They need 2 models right from the start, if they don't they're stupid. A lot of people are willing to pay $799 or more for a PlayStation that will run all games at 60fps. Don't give me the "buy a PC" line; there's a lot of people who are heavily invested in the PlayStation ecosystem, that want physical games, that want to play multiplayer with a controller in a closed environment without rampant cheaters. Sony should look to Apple who has people lining up to buy $1000 phone every year. Don't neglect the high end, that's where the best profit margins are. People that don't wish to spend that much for a console can just get the $399 base model that will play games at 30fps for the most part.

I wouldn't pay no fucking $800 for a console, you're crazy if think anyone really wants that.

Btw the Sony ecosystem is still having your PS3 hooked up along with a PS4. Is not unified and won't ever be.

Gears 4 does exist, you know, and is an excellent example of a game running 4k and solid 30fps with enhanced effects over the base version. There is also Forza Horizon 3, PUBG, and Sea of Thieves. All console exclusives. It is disingenuous to exclused titles because they do not fit into your console only narative that MS isnt a part of anymore. They are not doing console exclusives anymore with their games and you know this. Silly to not count them to try and push a console warrior list mentality. There are also many 3rd party games that are 4k native as well and 3rd party dynamic 4k games that actually reach 4k.

Good lord the details in God of War, I can’t imagine what they can do next gen.

Btw the Sony ecosystem is still having your PS3 hooked up along with a PS4. Is not unified and won't ever be.

Sony’s ecosystem needs change if they want to move towards digital. Going x86 and sticking with AMD should allow them to. With steam and xbox like this there’s no reason they shouldn’t unless they would rather sell remasters.

Guess what, just because you don't want something doesn't mean others don't want it either. People with income that game would have no problem laying out 800 bucks for a system that does 4K-ish/60fps. The two model system would mean that you could still buy the base model for 400 so why would you care if other people wanted to pay more for something better. Sounds like childish jealousy to me.

As for the Sony ecosystem, it's pretty clear that going forward they will be sticking with x86 and AMD so PS5 will almost certainly be backwards compatible with PS4.

I dunno, the market soundly rejected a $600 console even though there was a cheaper option launched alongside it, and this gen the console that started at $400 got a handy early lead on its $500 competitor (though there were other factors for that one). Saying an $800 console probably isn't in the cards seems more like conclusions drawn from observation than jealousy or whatever. That's not to say that history is a perfect predictor of the future or that a $800 console couldn't find its niche, but I don't see it.

On the plus side, I don't think you'll need an $800 console to do native 4K/60 in most games at launch. I'm no hardware savant, but shouldn't that be pretty doable for $400 if Sony were to wait for 7nm? As the gen went on and games got more demanding, they could rely more heavily on checkerboarding/dynamic resolutions to keep the framerate smooth. Then, halfway through the generation, they could release a Pro console for $400 that rivals what $800 would have bought you at the outset anyway. It's the same basic outcome but with much less risk to Sony.

I agree though that Sony will start supporting backwards compatibility again. The only reason they didn't this gen, IMO was because of the weirdness of the cell cpu.

Um your the one that keeps saying that it will be marketed as a true 4k box ( even though many games are that now, on xbox one x and some on ps4 pro) .. that was literally the point of my post that the marketing will lack clarity of why to upgrade. Xbox was for sd tvs 360 was 720p tvs xbox one was 1080p tvs xbox one x is for 4k tvs.. the marketing for ps4 will be for the same gen of tv .. so how are they going to market it?
As a 4k 60 fps box? 12tf ( likely and rumoured ps5 target) at 60 fps = 6tf at 30 fps... ie same graphics as xbox one x. Lets say they upgrade the cpu to be a zen they may get 2x perf which will support 60 fps with same performance as 30 fps on jaguar. They will upgrade ram to 16 gigs so moderately better textures ( same difference between pro and xbx 8-12 = 4 gigs as between xbx and ps5..4gigs.)

So in summary if they market ps5 as 4k 60fps it will have same games and graphics as xbx with slightly more ram (30% more) for textures.

Obviously its highly unlikely they will do this and instead op for 4k 30 fps..
2xcpu 30%more ram and 50 % more gpu is not a significant increase. Its like going from a 1070 to a 1080ti.

I'm here to troll? From the man that lives under a bridge and scares goats.

So you were talking and there are only three ? Forza, KI and SLT? What about FH3, GoW4, Halo Wars 2, Halo 5, Sea of Thieves, SoD2? Off the top of my head. You tell these little lies that are so easy to counter.

Which are these native 4K 3rd party pro games you speak of?

No console will ever be marketed as a 60fps console, since most developers prefer 30fps because it allows more effects and better image and its much easier and less time consuming to optimize than 60fps. Don't really expect that to change next gen.

But your reasoning isn't correct. The expensive launch PS3 didn't come out with a cheaper $399 PS3 alongside it. 360 is from a different company so that's competition and isn't the same. Also the same with the PS4 and Xbox One, competitors and the more expensive one was weaker.

The case here is having the same company releasing 2 versions, a base model for everyone for $399, and a more powerful model for the enthusiast, for around say $599 (I think even for enthusiasts $800 is too much). This is giving people choice. And of course as years go by they become cheaper and so on.

I agree though that Sony will start supporting backwards compatibility again. The only reason they didn't this gen, IMO was because of the weirdness of the cell cpu.

The market did not soundly reject a $600 system last gen, in fact people who purchased a PS3 the first year bought the 60GB model at a rate higher than 90% which led Sony to discontinue the 20GB model altogether. The problem with the PS3 had nothing to do with price, but its price didn't help it either. The problem was that the 360 had a year head start and had great features that the PS3 lacked even though it came out a year later. Add to that the fact that PS3 severely under-delivered on the promises from E3 2005 (the Killzone 2 and MotorStorm trailers) not to mention that due to the complexity of the Cell architecture, multiplatform games generally performed worse on the PS3 than they did on the 360. Also the 360 had an impressive lineup of quality first and third party games including a lot of JRPGs which were still very popular at the time. All these factors contributed to the "failure" of the PS3 in America, keep in mind that in the rest of the world the PS3 was winning and ultimately won the gen overall in its last days.

Now in regards to this gen I would argue once again that the price had very little to do with it. MS very poorly revealed the XB1 talking about NFL games on TV and mostly just TV in general, the little they said about games was that they planned to have DRM so you couldn't lend games or resell them. Meanwhile Sony had learned from its PS3 mistakes and was offering a system built for gaming that had all the features gamers wanted, including promising exclusive titles which MS failed to compete with. MS also decided to force the Kinect on people even though they rejected it the previous gen even going as far as saying it needed to be always on, always listening. There were even rumors it would count the number of people in the room if you wanted to watch a movie. A lot of people were turned off by all this Big Brother nonsense and also the ugly 80s VCR look of the console which still required a substantial external power brick. When compared to the smaller, sleeker, more powerful PS4 it was an easy choice for most gamers, myself included (even though I was mostly a 360 guy last gen). Even if the PS4 had launched at $500, I would have picked the PS4, it was the better system, the fact that it cost $100 less was just the cherry on top.

With every gen the average age of the gamer increases and that means that gamers have more and more income each gen. Like I said in a previous post, during the early gens consoles were something bought by parents for their kids but now it's gamers buying them for themselves and most adult gamers do not associate gaming with kids toys anymore, they want to spend money to get something that's powerful, feature packed, sleek looking, etc... This is why the PC market is growing . Gamers want to game at higher resolutions and higher framerates but are often unable to get satisfaction from consoles. They turn to PC but PC gaming is ripe with cheaters, forces you to use a mouse and keyboard for competitive multiplayer if you want to be able to compete and also there's the issue of DRM that often has its own quirks and drawbacks. In today's market an $800 Pro model at launch makes a lot of sense to me and others. Also for developers they will have both machines from the get go and be able to optimize for both before launching their games. If there's a mid gen Pro then devs have to go back and allocate resources to patch old games if they even bother to patch them at all (GTA V comes to mind). Also VR is gaining significant traction and VR benefits tremendously from more powerful hardware.


My guess is it'll be a 7nm APU with Zen 2 CPU cores and Navi GPU cores. AMD has already stated that the design for Zen 2 has been finalized, they're just waiting for fabs to get 7nm manufacturing to a point without significant losses. Based on this, I predict a Fall 2020 launch.

No console will ever be marketed as a 60fps console, since most developers prefer 30fps because it allows more effects and better image and its much easier and less time consuming to optimize than 60fps. Don't really expect that to change next gen.

This is a bunch of nonsense, no developer "prefers" 30fps. What devs have said is that when bound by the significant hardware limitations of consoles, it's easier to set a target fps of 30 instead of 60. It's not only for graphical effects, the CPU cores in current gen consoles are very weak and when AI is needed it can take a large toll on framerates. A good example of this is Rainbow 6 Siege which runs at 30fps when playing against bots, but then 60fps in the all human online multiplayer.

If you have a much more powerful version of the same hardware you can just develop targeting 30fps for the base model and then just switch the 30fps cap to a 60fps cap on the Pro version. So in the case of launching two models from the get go you can definitely market it the high one as one that targets 60fps.

Gears 4 does exist, you know, and is an excellent example of a game running 4k and solid 30fps with enhanced effects over the base version. There is also Forza Horizon 3, PUBG, and Sea of Thieves. All console exclusives. It is disingenuous to exclused titles because they do not fit into your console only narative that MS isnt a part of anymore. They are not doing console exclusives anymore with their games and you know this. Silly to not count them to try and push a console warrior list mentality. There are also many 3rd party games that are 4k native as well and 3rd party dynamic 4k games that actually reach 4k.
As I said, both lists keep growing, there are even games released the last few days that are 4k, that still does not make them true 4k consoles across the board and that certainly does not mean that PS5 games will show little difference between current gen games and this one, which was the point.....

Um your the one that keeps saying that it will be marketed as a true 4k box ( even though many games are that now, on xbox one x and some on ps4 pro) .. that was literally the point of my post that the marketing will lack clarity of why to upgrade. Xbox was for sd tvs 360 was 720p tvs xbox one was 1080p tvs xbox one x is for 4k tvs.. the marketing for ps4 will be for the same gen of tv .. so how are they going to market it?
So what will PS5 be marketed as if not a true 4k box? 4k meaning across the board.....PS4 was 1080p across the board, PRO and XBONEX are not 4k across the board....PRO and XBONEX won't have the asset quality you will see in PS5 games, the physics etc...So every other gen people were able to see the difference except the PS5 gen? All because of XBONEX..amirite?

As a 4k 60 fps box? 12tf ( likely and rumoured ps5 target) at 60 fps = 6tf at 30 fps... ie same graphics as xbox one x. Lets say they upgrade the cpu to be a zen they may get 2x perf which will support 60 fps with same performance as 30 fps on jaguar. They will upgrade ram to 16 gigs so moderately better textures ( same difference between pro and xbx 8-12 = 4 gigs as between xbx and ps5..4gigs.)
Is anybody else reading this, what does this mean? So a Zen will only give 2x perf over a jaguar relative to framerate and thats still negligible to you??? So you minimize a 30 to 60fps divide, but on top of that you fail to see that a better CPU also offers better physics, AI, drawcalls on top of better framerates....So you expect ground up 4k games with 4k assets with enhanced physics and AI to be comparable to 1080p games at medium quality rezzed up to 4k and DR resolutions? So of course, it makes sense to say or predict that PS5 will only have 16GB of ram and it will only be 8-9TF, because you are now on that "the difference won't be much train".... Is it just like there isn't much difference between the 4.2TF vs 6TF consoles? I mean the 8-9TF PS5 will have a 3TF divide and a much better CPU and maybe faster ram too (GDDR6)....So if you won't be able to tell the difference with such a subpar PS5 upgrade, I guess you also believe there's absolutely no difference between PRO and XBONEX right now? Afterall, It's only 1.8TF apart with the same assets, same jaguar cpu et al......

So you were talking and there are only three ? Forza, KI and SLT? What about FH3, GoW4, Halo Wars 2, Halo 5, Sea of Thieves, SoD2? Off the top of my head. You tell these little lies that are so easy to counter.

Which are these native 4K 3rd party pro games you speak of?
Halo 5 is not native 4k it's DR, State of decay 2 is not even out yet so how can you confirm that, did you pixel count your early copy?

And though Halo Wars 2 is 4k it's also missing effects, and you can add it to your list no problem, yet, it tears and falls to 20fps anytime there's heavy alpha on screen, perhaps it should be at a lower resolution, pubg the same, falls to some of the lowest framerates when there's heavy alpha on screen at 4k and we already know it's general performance.....I mean it's great to say 4k, but at least the games should run well at 4k to show the machine is capable of doing so...I mean Sea of thieves is 4k with probably the lowest FOV ever, playing this at 30fps will literally get people vomitting everywhere on top of motion sickness....Fortnite looks much better and runs at 60fps, which is a greater pull on the GPU.....So you have not been honest with me here, at least all the games I mentioned are 4k native all the time and corroborated....Also, KI drops frames, so maybe it should be DR, just like they did with PS3 when there was heavy alpha in SF4... and Super lucky drops frames constantly for such a game, that one even surprised me...So to some of the games, 4k yes, but it's looking like the hardware can't always push it with aplomb.....which says so much for negligible differences with XBONEX vs PS5, because I'm sure PS5 will have a hardtime running Super Lucky Tales at 4k locked 60fps ;) or even Skyrim remastered without reverting to DR at 30fps......

In any case, why are you guys in a PS5 rumor thread if all your'll are going to say is that XBONEX is going to muddy the waters and make PS5 games look negligible.....From the looks of it you guys already have a beast of a console.....

PS5?
We don't even have an Elder Scrolls game on PS4.
Yes, there's the elder scrolls online......If you want the SP RPG, there's Skyrim remastered too....

Id say a lot of that is on bethesda for focusing more on remasters and ports. "Elder Scrolls 6? Nah, lets just poop out a few more skyrim re-releases"
And thats how we got
-skyrim special edition
-skyrim VR
-skyrim for nintendo switch

And the worst part of it imo is that theyre exactly the same as the originals, theres been so many bugs fixed by the community via mods and bethesda refused to implement them into their game. Skyrim on ps4 for example still crashes here and there and i had a weird glitch where a huge glitchy wall appeared out of nowhere and blocked me from walking across the plains north of whiterun

They will upgrade ram to 16 gigs so moderately better textures ( same difference between pro and xbx 8-12 = 4 gigs as between xbx and ps5..4gigs.)

So in summary if they market ps5 as 4k 60fps it will have same games and graphics as xbx with slightly more ram (30% more) for textures.

Obviously its highly unlikely they will do this and instead op for 4k 30 fps..
2xcpu 30%more ram and 50 % more gpu is not a significant increase. Its like going from a 1070 to a 1080ti.


I understand what you mean by a jump of little relevance. But remember that the PS4 was not a big leap from the PS3. To tell you the truth the PS4 CPU is pretty much the same as the PS3. The most significant difference is even in the GPU and the memory. We can not forget that in terms of raw power its analysis makes sense. But it only makes sense for PC architectures. Consoles work a little differently. We do not know how the PS5 components will react together. The integration and optimization of software and language that consoles always receive is far superior to PCs. They are games focused machines. Games optimized directly on GPU and CPU. We can not compare what an AMD RX VEGA 64 with 13Tflops does on a PC today with what a PS5 will do with 12,13 or 14Tflops in the future. In the consoles little means '' more '' and '' more ''.

Do you believe in a significant generational leap between this gen and the next gen? I know that we will not see somthing like the PS1 ~ PS2 era. But i really think that if the next gen consoles could reach the same performance of an RX VEGA 64, developers will be able to program Beautiful games.
Because this time the consoles will have huge CPUs to help the other components work faster.

What do you think?
(Maybe just the same generational leap from PS3~PS4 in graphics, but with better physics, etc.).

It will be even less significant than the leap from PS3 to PS4, because that time they just did whatever they wanted (great graphics under low resolutions) and now theyre only worrying about the UHD handicap.

Im not going to entertain your list wars anymore.. this is a thread about the ps5.

I suggested it would be 12tf ( i have no idea why you said 9). Also ive read elsewhere when u limit the zen to the same space as jaguar on next gen lithography it will be about twice as fast. .. anyway u dont care about realistic estimations of capability your statements are all fantastical emotive imaginations of graphics and physics we wouldnt believe. The next gen will be less than the latest pc cpu with less than the latest pc gpu.. the only question is how much less.

After all those words you say their marketing will be “native 4k across the board”, that is what i said they could do but may have little play to motivate people to upgrade. So i guess u agree with me? Youve never actually said how effective that would or would not be which was the question i asked pages back that set u off into console wars.

Totally agree optimisations on consoles make them much more effecient than pc, often by about 30% in gpu power and over 50% in cpu power. Well i guess i do think we can compare them its just its an estimation.

Well ... I think we should not worry so much about GPU teraflops because with 4.2Tflops we already do incredible things. If the PS5 has 3x more Tflops than the PS4 PRO the generational leap will be brutal. But the big highlight of the new generation will be the CPU power. Many games can take advantage of CPU power instead of GPU. Just as the PS3 did with the cell that compared to its GPU was infinitely more powerful. Nowadays CPU and GPU take on each other's tasks and things get confused easily. Imagine then in a console where all components are 100% compatible and manufactured to be 100% integrated. With a good API (compatacional language optimization), we will see a very significant leap. At least as big as it went from PS3 to PS4. Before some think that the jump from PS3 to PS4 was small it is worth remembering the only highlight of the PS4 compared to PS3 besides the memory was the GPU and look what we were able to do until today (2018).

Though there was a recent power outage At a NAND Samsung lab recently, which will no doubt affect SSD and Dram prices for a bit more....Samsung already has a 30TB SSD in the pipeline, Seagate has a 60TB as well.....Once you start to see larger capacity drives approaching the market, it means that 1-4-8TB SSD's maybe very affordable or good enough for a PS5 release in November 2020.....That's another aspect of console tech that will no doubt get an upgrade for next gen and it's about time......

Interesting read here, after I made this post..

They wont put an SSD in a console when a regular drive sufficiently does the job, and costs a fraction of the price. It's just money burned that could be used on much more important components.

People want a $399 PS5 and also want SSD's, 32GB RAM and all other kinds of trimmings. LOL.

If it's cheap enough by then I don't see why not, it's better faster technology and pretty much everything evolves at some point.....The benefits of SSD's in consoles is about due, especially 2 years from now...

What benefit would console have from SSD? Just faster loading times or something more?

SSD as standard could be a game changer for devs, imagine games designed with fast storage in mind. Too bad it won't happen, possibility for SSD's in new consoles is close to zero IMO.

2TB SSD goes for 300$+on retail. Even if they get for 150$ it's still too expensive to put it.Just in comparison, 2TB HDD goes for 50$,so let's say 25$ for console.
