@KeplerL2 you got mention. Nice work.

IbizaPocholo can you update the OP with this?

I like the look of that source site, I'm going to join

 

[MayauMiao]

Skipping this gen ain't bad seeing what PS5 has to offer for its price.

 

[Negotiator101]

If this is the target then they have royally fucked over the Pro adopters.

 

[kazuyamishima]

Sounds about right.

 

[Ceadeus]

So glad I skipped this generation altogether.

*if true

You haven't missed much. The best exclusive games released on the PS5 so far are still the launch title Demon's Souls Remaster and Returnal.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Definitely didn't miss anything.

Go back to a PS4 and tell me "you didn't miss much" even for the crossgen games.

 

[Sephimoth]

lol FK OFF Sony.
Feels like devs haven't even started to push the PS5 limits yet.

Wouldn't surprise me now MS has cucked out, Sony will try and further close the gap between gens going forward. PS7 in 2032!

 

[R3TRO]

I played the n64 and psx when they were brand new. Performance doesn't bother or impress me as much. I just like fun games and the games I played that are exclusive to this gen just aren't doing it for me.

 

[jm89]

I use to think it was way too early.

But doesn't look like sony care much about ps5 passing ps4 in sales.

The whole generational divide is becoming less important especially with users sticking longer to older gens.

 

[Mownoc]

If this is the target then they have royally fucked over the Pro adopters.

It would be the same time gap as Xbox one X to Xbox Series X.

Did MS royally fuck over Xbox One X adopters?

Try to further close the gap? What?

USA release dates:
PS1 - September 1995
PS2 - October 2000 (5 years later)
PS3 - November 2006 (6 years later)
PS4 - November 2013 (7 years later)
PS5 - November 2020 (7 years later)
PS6 - late 2027 (7 years later)

Please tell me how this is anything different. I also wanted it to release in 2028...but guess what? You don't need to buy consoles day one. Also if it released in 2028 that would've been the outliner (8 year gap)...not releasing in 2027.

 

[Kerotan]

*if true

It'll be a big jump for you going from PS4 to ps6.

 

[Radical_3d]

PS1 - September 1995

Returnal isn't exclusive or even that good

Maybe that's down to the controller. Felt better on Ps5. On pc it just feels a bit meh.

Wait wut I thought was 2028 early than expected...

As someone who has been gaming since 1989, I've always played something from each generation.

I'm curious about what one does when skipping a generation of gaming. Do you just simply not playing anything exclusive to the generation, like a PS5 only title? What if they are cross-gen releases, do you not play those titles? Honest question because I see people say what you said from time to time that they skip x console / generation.

I'd find it hard to go 6-7 years without touching certain games in such a large timeframe. Curious!

 

[Karim]

They pointed a gun to the Pro adopters to buy it?

 

[MrJangles]

Definitely didn't miss anything.

Yep. First gen I skipped both a PS & Xbox. Appalling standard of software.

 

[Radical_3d]

edited. point still stands

Your point is even more valid. Generations are getting longer.

 

[yogaflame]

Is this another trust me bro source?

 

[Fabieter]

Did Samsung pointed a gun to people to buy the note 7 which had a great chance to explode, no? So its not on Samsung i guess.

 

[Karim]

Seems too early to me. They release the new PSSR in 2026 and in 2027 the ps6? Weird. I'm mean so fast?

 

[RoboFu]

every gen should be min 10 years. Even more so if the console is going to be so expensive with so little performance jumps. There is really no reason to rush the end of the ps5.

Don't think it's that bad. If the new update is within the first 2 quarters into 2026. You have all the way until end of 2027 before PS6 launches. That's a pretty big gap still.

I don't think I've played any PS5 exclusive titles no. The ones that do have my interest (such as Stellar Blade for instance) seem to eventually make their way to PC anyway.

Played a good amount of Returnal on PC as well so zero reason to own a PS5 for that either. Same goes for Helldivers 2 and (many) other games. Most of the sequels have been ass, from what I've heard anyway, so I have no interest in Ragnarok, Spiderman 2, Last of Us 2, etc.

I will say the Demon's Souls remake is something I want to play but not buying an entire console for one game.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Hopefully I get a good few games between now and 2027 to play on my ps5 pro.

I imagine the ps5 pro will do me well into the PS6 gen though.

 

[Karim]

The fuck of comparison is that? Are you drunk?

Okay got it. So it's more about not touching the Console hardware this generation, not so much the software part of it since you play them on PC when they arrive there.

If someone criticizes a product, you shouldn't put the blame back on the customers, I mean what the hell.

I blamed the customer? I just said the no one force them to buy it. Apple should stop to release new iPhone early because they hurt the owners of the previous model? And compare it to a defective dangerous product is really idiotic.

 

[ecosse_011172]

Not necessary but I'll buy it day one.

 

[Edgelord79]

If true, glad I skipped the Pro console. It's been a screwed up generation.

 

[BlackTron]

Sony's has super sampling aspirations for next gen, we're just getting the feature early as a stop-gap while they improve it. Base PS5 doesn't have this, but base PS6 will pack it as standard kit.

 

[Elios83]

It's obviously the release date that makes most sense to target.
In any case PS5 isn't going away for a long time and with hardware prices rising I don't think they're targeting to migrate the userbase super quickly on the PS6.
It's the ecosystem strategy with its pros and cons, it might even make sense to stick with a PS5 Pro until a PS6 Pro, it will depend on the innovations introduced.

 

[thefool]

Would be nice to have confirmation so i don't end up buying a pro and one year later there's a new sony console.

 

[Fabieter]

I blamed the customer? I just said the no one force them to buy it.

You could say that about any product. But come on lets use this, Sony really dropped the ball when it came to first-party titles for the Vita. No one forced people to buy it, sure, but that doesn't mean it's not Sony's problem. What the hell.

So consoles are phones now? Interesting.

Talking ablut stupid comparisons, everyone knows apple is going to release a new phone every year.
