I feel like if they are going to go with a full generation upgrade it is going to need more than marginally better graphics to justify the upgrade.
Like I said it is hard to predict and there is always the possibility that clever developers will find a great way to take advantage of that power.
bought my Slim for 186 some weeks ago, PS5 inbound? 👀once base PS4 hits $199, then talk will start of a PS5
How is that horrible? Really?
PC has some games that are over 10 years old and still receives updates and content. Would you rather not have it, or have to start over when you buy another console?
I'd say that the PS5 will not do anywhere as good as the PS4 because too many iterations in too little time is gonna make people less inclined to buy this stuff.

Weve been working for months with the top [hardware partners] to bring new systems to market, Anderson said. So youll see with Ryzen Mobile beautiful two-in-one systems, some really beautiful thin-and-light ultraportables, great gaming systems."
Anderson promised great things from the chips: "Ryzen Mobile will have fantastic battery life, youll see great performance on productivity applications, and it will have phenomenal gaming experience. Youll be able to get a phenomenal AAA gaming experience on a thin-and-light notebook.
AMD hopes it can achieve all of that with some key elements. First, theres the Zen core, which will provide the same dramatic leap in processor performance compared to the existing Carrizo mobile chipsover 50 percent, Anderson said. But theres also a surprise hiding behind it: the first Vega graphics cores, which will deliver a 40-percent increase in performance over the current generation.
Just as important, though, will be power efficiency: The Ryzen Mobile chip will operate at half the power of the current chip, Anderson said.
I wonder how big of a backlash it will be when PS5 games don't work on PS4 Pro.
With that said how can they add more memory (GDDR6 in this case) without widening the bus? lol

If they were stupid enough to release it in 2018, absolutely. But it will probably be more like 2020. And the big masses only ever bought a PS4, not a Pro, so to them it will feel like a long time since the last new console (7 years). Those who have bought a Pro I think generally did it knowing it's a mid-gen upgrade and that it won't have a "life" as long as a regular console (still 4 years or so).

I should think reasonably large despite there being some telltale statements hinting that the new console might not use the previous Gen's discs. Perhaps though, there may be some form of BC through emulation if the hardware architecture remains similar enough to do that.

The 384-bit data bus is that wide to increase bandwidth, not addressable memory.

I asked how they can add more without widening the bus.
The question stands because every GPU I've looked up the memory and bandwidth seem to come down to 32 bit per chip (with a rare occurrence of 64 bit).
So I'm believing they go hand in hand, hence my initial question.
2020 for the PS5 launch, bookmark this post if you like
He said PS5 games on PS4, not PS4 games on PS5.
Forward compatibility will never happen and people who expect it are crazy.
They won't. There will be zero backlash.
PS5 launch fall 2019.

As memory density improves you can add one bit to the address bus, doubling the density of the individual RAM chips to 16Gb without widening the data bus.
If the ps5 doesn't release until 2020 it gives them three more years to get the base PS4 down to the magical $99 price point that made the PS2 sell so many units.

Yes, but there are no "generations" in conventional PC components so they may introduce smaller upgrades over the course of a year - kinda like what Intel was doing for the last ten years or so.
Fuck backwards compatibility. Just give me bleeding edge shit, if I want to look backwards, it ain't like I won't still have the PS4 there until it outlives its purpose.
Assuming that PS5 gets released in 2019 and costs 399$ how much powerful will it be compared to X1X? I mean at that time what kind of specs can we expect if it costs 399$?
