Thats disappointing
No. They are the same consoles with little upgrade and different design.Does...PRO version consider as "new" console ; )
so there may be possibility a pro version of console then, if thats the case should be enough to last till 2028No. They are the same consoles with little upgrade and different design.
New console would need to be like ps4 to ps5.
Unless they consider the pro a new console.
I prefer 5 year ish generations instead of getting pro consoles somewhere along the way. I would love for us console plebs to be able to hit 4k60 on non crossplay games somewhere before 2028 basically.Why, the generation has barely began.
It means devs still have a very long way to go before they start maxing out the current gen consoles the way they are doing right now sith last gen. I’d be more disappointed if they said 2026 or early 2027 was the plan for launching new consoles, while we’re almost in 2023 with major cross gen games still
RDNA5 or 6 by then. I think RT will not be an issue by then.2028 is fine. Full pathtracing + nanite at 1440p 60fps should be possible by then.
Assuming moores law is still alive and society hasnt crumbled due to green policies & communism.
I don't know I have a feeling some of the big games coming could use extra horsepower without people buying a PC as I know many gamers that only want to play on consolesGood. I buy a console with a peaceful thought that it will last 7+ years. God to hear.
And I am not a big fan of PRO models and there is even less reason to have midgen refreshes this time
I think current consoles are the most powerful we've ever seen relative wise.I don't know I have a feeling some of the big games coming could use extra horsepower without people buying a PC as I know many gamers that only want to play on consoles
If you're going out of your way to notice stuff like that, are you even enjoying the games you're playing?Not really. Crossgen games can't take full advantage of the next gen consoles. They still need stuff like corridors that hide loading screens even when running on the PS5 or a PC with a SSD.
It's much easier to add higher res assets to a PS4 game than make a PS5 game to run on a PS4.
you wont need pro models especially if you dont mind to play games in 2025+ with 1440p/30 fps low/medium settingsGood. I buy a console with a peaceful thought that it will last 7+ years. God to hear.

Is this really this unexpected?Thats disappointing
Next gen should focus on chiplets, additional hardware resources for AI-driven physics, terrain deformation/destruction - things that really are leaps in how deep the player can interface with the world. That's going to take years of development before it's ready for production.
There will be no pro versionsDoes...PRO version consider as "new" console ; )
Anyone wanting the other team to fail is not a true gamer imoEveryone wants to see Sony fail.
In Japan it was almost 7 years.PS2 -> PS3 = 6 years (2000-2006 in Japan)
There will be no pro versions
I’m expecting 2028 which is why it’s weird people are saying to release the ps5 pro in 2024 wouldn’t be enough time separationSony doesn't expect PlayStation 6 before 2027, confidential document suggests
Sony does not expect its next-generation PlayStation to arrive until at least 2027, a confidential document has suggested.
The partially-redacted document was released publicly today as part of the UK's ongoing in-depth Competition and Markets Authority review into Microsoft's proposed $68bn Activision Blizzard buyout - a deal Sony has strongly objected to.
In an intriguing passage discussing the length of time Call of Duty may remain on PlayStation, Sony claims that (at the time of writing) it expected to lose access to the franchise in 2027. Sony then goes on to state that by the time it "launched the next generation of its PlayStation console... it would have lost access to Call of Duty and other Activision titles".
Putting aside the possibility of whether Sony would actually lose access to Call of Duty (something Xbox boss Phil Spencer has recently repeatedly denied) the suggestion here from Sony is that the PlayStation 6 will not launch until after its feared 2027 COD cut-off date.
That puts PS5, which originally launched in November 2020, on at least a seven-year lifecycle - and potentially longer.
In the document, Sony states its concern that the loss of COD in 2027 would leave PlayStation "extremely vulnerable to consumer switching and subsequent degradation in its competitiveness" - presumably for when the subsequent console generation arrived.
"PlayStation 6 in 2028?" industry analyst Piers Harding-Rolls wrote on Twitter.
A redacted section of this passage does note the actual year Sony expects PS6 to materialise - although the public version of this has it blanked out.
To compare, PS4 launched in November 2013,
exactly seven years before PS5 - though the console remains well-supported today.
For its part, Microsoft has claimed it is keen to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation longer than 2027. Last month, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said he was keen to keep releasing COD on Sony platforms "as long as there's a PlayStation out there to ship to".

I think 4 years would be sufficient between mid Gen refresh abd next Gen so if it comes in 2024 I expect the ps6 in 2028-2029Fall of 2028 would make sense to me. Longer if there ends up being mid-gen refresh consoles.
Wanna place bets? I’m betting a 100 your wrongDoesn't surprise me,also no mid gen refreshes is my bet.
A mid Gen refresh would likely be better designed similar to the one x which helps costs. There’s also nothing that says the refresh can’t be 600No way we get a mid gen refresh imho. They’re raising the price on the existing hardware as it is, a pro would be like $899. And then once you make that system, how do you make a ps6 which is significantly more powerful but also comes back to the $400-$500 price that Sony likes for their launch consoles?
Considering the rumor that the ps6 is all digital I’m begging for pro consoles cause those will be at least guaranteed to be physical2027-28 is fine.
I am dreading the day pro releases... I will get it but I am not happy about getting pro consoles, especially with next gen usually being so close around the corner
I’m expecting late 2024 (or at least hoping that’s when cause they can use rdna 4 for the machine at that point)Next year? Are you on crack?

no he isntHe is right tho

Xbox 360 to Xbox One was 8 years so it's not unprecedented. PS3 was arguably a year late.PS1 -> PS2 = 6 years (1994-2000)
PS2 -> PS3 = 6 years (2000-2006 in Japan)
PS3 -> PS4 = 7 years (2006-2013)
PS4 -> PS5 = 7 years (2013-2020)
So 8 years would be the longest gap, though just one more year than the latest.
He is right tho
