Phil talked about inflection points. If 8k is the next "inflection" then we are going to be waiting a loooong time. Like 2025.
He also mentioned a 120hz or 144hz possible inflection point as well. I think this is smart. Looking for what the next big thing is and innovating at the appropriate time actually seems quite sensible compared to a fixed console release period.
When I look at something like the Neo (rumored specs), I wonder what purpose the console exactly serves other than just running games better. VR already works with PS4 and the console still feels quite powerful. Sure, Neo will support higher than 1080p resolutions, HDR and 4K video support, so techies will be interested, but at least with Scorpio the bullets points are 4K and VR (with 6TF as the necessary hardware target) and those points are being repeated over and over and over again. Some people will complain about the messaging, but I think those bullet points have been clear and justify the console's existence. I'm curious to see how Sony justifies the Neo when it's officially revealed.
