I absolutely agree with you. Since this "visual effects veteran", as he calls himself, carried incredible nonsense and did not understand that the current level of graphics can reach a much higher level on the current hardware. This is how console generations work. But this individual did not want to admit such an obvious fact. I do not believe a single delusional word of him.

Moor's law have died.
That is why i5 from 2015 is still doing pretty well, why and that is why PS4/XBox one were "the exceptions".
It is not only about price and size.
TDP of 1800XT was a bit above 100W.
GPUs before it were in 2 digit area.
In game power consumption of 1080Ti/2080 is around 250W.

Wasn't this impossible due to the new cancer inducing blue rays of death? What kind of hardware Sony came up with for this to be possible? If this thing reads all types of CD/DVD/Blu-ray it will be glorious.
Full physical BC? I call this one BS.

No one should believe this account, he is simply raising impossible expectations for Sony to meet just so fans can be disappointed no matter what.

Honestly who cares about the backward compatibility, In a new generation I look for the new graphic leap and computing possibilities, from a business perspective, new consoles being compatible with the latest previous one might be appealing for the initial lack of games and some behind the scenes improvement to the image quality, and so compels some early comers. I surely won't buy it because it allows me to play psone/xbox games, lol I have the pc for that and still I don't play them because for the free time I have nowadays I'd rather spend it for new games not for old, unless I feel so much nostalgia to do it. I hope they are really focusing on giving us a great graphic leap and future, not the past, it's gone already let's look ahead
Its about protecting digital purchases. All that money spent is basically worthless. When I get a new phone my apps carry over just fine. If a person buys a new pc their steam games carry over just fine. It needs to be the same on consoles if they want to push digital purchases. Physical you can sell to recover some money at least.

Exactly. Not to mention it's going to increase Sony's PSN revenue even more and it will allow them to phase out those aging PS3 motherboards on PS Now's cloud infrastructure.
What's not to like?
They will get more money from me. I only did 1 psn digital purchase this generation after being burned last time. Left a pretty bad taste in my mouth honestly especially the PS1 games there's no excuse for those.

Got my hopes real high.... deep inside, im still holding this, it would be te absolute killer feature that could wipe out nintendo and xbox. I have a huge amount of classics, those games like Metal Gear Solid 4, Chrono Trigger, Silent Hill 4, The Warriors, Persona 3 and 4, Final Fantasy VI.....those games doesn't deserve to die on PS3.

Impossible expectations? There are PS1, PS2, PS3 emulators on PC, and Sony should build much better emulator anyway the same way as MS build X360 emulator on xbox one.

He is saying CD, DVD playback natively, which is highly unlikely that Sony would add another laser diod on PS5 solely for BC.

PSErebus is a Sony employee doing controlled/sanctioned leaks, I can bet on that. There's no way a Sony fan would put that much effort into a Twitter account.

Yep. Very true thanks for bringing this up. I’m aware of the difference in thermals and if you look at my post history, I’ve gone in depth on how the thermal envelope is so much higher today than it was 10-15 years ago for sure.
The difference this time around is that:
A) cooling solutions have become more advanced and feasible for console form factors as well. And
B) That’s why we’re not talking 2080ti or beyond. Again by end of next year, There will be a host of new high end GPUs from both AMD and Nvidia that will be 200W TDP and up. The equivalent of a 1080ti/RTX 2070 Super will be decidedly mid range by those standards. The absolute high end of the GPU spectrum in 2020 will not be feasible for a console due to the factors you mentioned such as heat, size, cost, etc. But I still think it’s exceedingly conservative to think that the next gen consoles will have anything below a 5700 as some have said

Is it Feb? I thought he was backing a Dec 3 reveal?

Dec 3 seems a bit early for a full-blown reveal to me, but we'll see.

Are you talking music and film, or games?
For music and film, yes. The PS4 also plays DVD fillms and music. It is capable of reading CDs, they just didn't add the licensing codec.
As for games, the XB1 does not play them off the discs like the native hardware did, it sees the game and downloads and installs a digital version of select games, and uses the disc as DRM like it does for XB1 games.

He also teased the date.
Could be something smaller like the full BC announcement tho.

Full PS1, PS2, and PS3 backward compatibility? Nah!
PS4 will likely work out of the box.
What'll probably happen with PS[1-3] compatibility is that you'll pop the disc in and it'll do something with PS Now.
If the PS5 DOES do PS[1-3] that would be amazing. But right now:

Music and film yes. Just replying to the post that Blu-ray lens can't read CDs or DVDs, which isn't the case.
Is the licensing codec expensive? I can't imagine it being so. I wonder why Sony didn't bother.
And if ps5 is backwards compatible to the PS1 are all the games going to be enhanced as well.
That would be like so UNREAL playing original ridge Racer on PS1 in 4k

I'm still not expecting PS3 BC. AFAIK, the PC-based PS3 emulator(s?) are still basically unusable and I doubt there's much Sony could do to change that, even given the inside info they have on the PS3. It's a matter of not having enough raw horsepower to overcome the architectural differences between Cell and x86. It took a crazy long time to get a usable Amiga emulator for the same reason. And when you add the pressure for Sony to make the experience seamless and stable for the end user, I just don't think it's going to happen. At least not on PS5. PS1 and PS2 should be relatively trivial, though.

Perhaps the cell can be partially emulated using the GPU? Either way, business wise I’m not sure Sony would bother. Would be nice.

Could they do xbox style Back Compat
put a xbox 360 disc in the xbox one
It can't run the game from disc, so it downloads the full game, with different instruction set
Xbox One backwards compatibility: how does it actually work?
One of the most memorable of E3 reveals also happens to be one of the greatest technological achievements of the curren…
