That seems pretty accurate as most people thought 2027 should be around the time the next gens comes out. Console players are going to need the PS6 to enjoy GTA VI to it's full potential and 2027 will also be around the time the other huge giant demanding games like Witcher 4 and Elder Scrolls VI comes out.

PSSR has it's hits and misses depending on the game. I'm a little disappointed with it, but knowing what I understand of AI training, there's no way it was going to equal DLSS 3.0 on the first shot. If PSSR2 is truly just Playstation's FSR4, then it'll be amazing.

I guess there are two reasons
1. Amd engineers aren't as brainy as Nvidia, so they are playing catch up with RT and ML features
2. Sony and MS consoles are out bidded by AI bros for tsmc 3nm, for the samsung/hynix/micro flash memory. They just cant if they want to hit console pricing, so they have to wait out for 2nd dips in 2027
3. Probably another one, everyone seems happy with cross gen and remakes, so no need to jump the gun. GTA6 for ps6 launch title in 2027 is easy sales

They'll make a PS6 level version of GTA6 in 2028 also. 2 years removed from the PS5 version to double dip on those sales.

RT and PSSR look incredible in Ghost of Yotei. This is the image quality and performance I want from my games and the reason I bought Pro. After playing that game, I'm more disappointed with devs efforts with Pro than Pro itself. So definitely a good thing that Sony is investing in this technology.

This gen along with Sony's (and really a lot of the industry) complete and utter failure with GaaS really has this generation just limping along.
other than a small handful of remarkable games (BG3, Elden Ring, Expedition 33, and, yes, certain indies) all done with relatively small and focused teams, everything else feels like corporate focus group dribble.

PS5 is this shifted paradigm where the console is more like a pc-style hardware upgrade, and game only skipped ps4 if they really couldnt run on it. Boring but it worked out. The parallel with pc hardware upgrading are close enough to stoke outright hypocrisy on that. It works, in the end. It's just dropping the most exciting thing about consoles for practical stuff. Sounds lame, but hey I spent 500, sold the ps4 for 200 since it's a total-replacement like we hadn't had since the first ps3 model. Played all these cross-gen games with vastly better performance on a much more nicely built and quiet system. So on balance, the shift is a fair enough trade despite my emotional reaction. Which I consider and filter before forming an opinion, similar to the way an adult would. There is upside and downside.

can you confirm if the jump between PS5 to PS6 will be at least as big as between PS3 to PS4?
I saw the focus on the GPU, but I kinda want a decent jump in the CPU departament, but all the technology focus are on the GPU side, make me wonder if the CPU will bring some new tech to the table as well.

I don't think there will be anything special, but going from Zen 2 to Zen 6 should be a nice bump. Clock speed will likely be underwhelming though.

I have to be honest, at this point, I'm more interested about the rumored PS6 portable than the actual/normal console.
Does anyone know when it's supposed to hit ? Earlier than the home console? later ? simultaneous release ?
Also, what kind of power/performance can we expect out of it ?
Cheers

2028 seems more likely to me, but anyway the sooner it releases the higher is the trade-in value of my PS5 Pro is gonna be
So they can do what they want

That would be pretty dumb. Current generation consoles aren't exactly starved for power. With diminishing returns, technology bottlenecks, and increased development costs, one would expect this generation to be longer than the previous ones.
Sony will likely discontinue the ps5 pro, if that happens they probably wouldn't support it anymore so that would probably effect the trade in price

Moderated wildly
9070 XT proves they are getting seriously close to NVIDIA. It kicks the 5070s ass, trades blows with 5070 Ti and 5080 in Raster and FSR4 is pretty great. Sure they may still be a bit behind on raytracing but I dont think its far from them is it?
it pretty much matches the 5070 inRT. I suppose its a little power hungry though compared to that card

Good luck with PS6 adoption at this rate, lol.

They are not discontinuing PS5 Games until 2032, so no problem.
CPU jump is bigger (Jaguar was really bad), but GPU jump is way smaller unless you're talking about Path Tracing.
That's true cross gen period Will probably be longer then 2032 I'm just remembering my experience with PS4 pro trade in price I got wasn't that great but like you said ps5 will still be relevant because of cross gen so hopefully anyone trading in will get better prices

Seriously if I do the match after my trade in it comes out to like $100 a year until the PS6 comes out. That's not a big deal.

If you have a 4K tv I say it's worth it, especially if base model out of warranty. It's basically base model fidelity turned into performance.

Usually Sony likes 7 years gens but COVID changed everything in 2020-2021 so I would expect PS5 Pro to be the main console for 4 years like PS4 Pro was

The point of releasing the PS6 "so soon" is because of MS. The closer it's to the XBox release the better.

Here is what I think will happen. Unveiling and announcement on 2027 of ps6 with Cerny presentation on State of play, and launch on summer June 2028 or Christmas 2028. If Sony will launch anything on 2027, it is probably the psp3 to compete against switch 2 especially in Japan.

PS5 was worth it for just the fast load times.

Xbox is dead, Sony doesn't care about a $1500 mini-pc
Especially since PS6 will cost around $700

Unless they're going to do something along the lines of neural rendering with some killer NPU that can crunch AI to do a noticeable uptick in fidelity...releasing in 2027 just seems like it will be a PS5 Pro Plus.
That soon the console is more likely to just give what this generation promised, where ray-tracing can run not like crap, but no real compelling new feature.

They obviously care enough.
Ideally the PS6 would come out in 2030-2032 or so and be an actual generational upgrade. Not this.

Nothing changes with PS6. PS5 will be their main console, as it sold the more. Moreover games need to support for handheld as well which according to rumors is expected to be 0.5x performance of PS5.

This is true
And keep in mind that PS5 Pro is receving a huge upgrade next year in machine learning with PSSR 2.0 (FSR 4)
You don't release a free upgrade like that if you plan to replace that console a year and a half later

If next xbox released late next year or early 2027 there is no way sony delaying ps6 to 2028 considering it's weaker than next gen xbox as per leaks

Presumably the Pro will be discontinued when the PS6 comes out. But Sony will still support it of course.

There's no next xbox: there's a PC with an Xbox sticker that will cost 2.5x more than PS6

Pretty much, because what is the going to be the upgrade with the new hardware if you've updated your own AI upscaler to be like AMD's most recent version?
It will be even more iterative, the economy will likely not recover that much by then, and it's not like their direct competitor Xbox is in a good place to need to make anything new.

Even all that but it will still be a next console and Microsoft will marketing it like that, if it release late next year or early 2027 there is no way ps6 released 2028 with weaker specs

In pure raster it will be (at best) 3x better than PS5. PS4 was like 9x better than PS4.
But of course jump in RT will be much bigger and ML... Sony will say that they have like 69x more Machine Learning power vs. PS5. But so far 90%+ of games are raster only...

If these specs turn out to be true, raster only adoption will plummet next gen. Any engine pushing tech will include some low quality analogue to software lumen for cross gen compatibility and get rid of baked lighting altogether. The time and effort baking takes will make it worth the effort to build some lumen-like tech instead for current gen compatibility and just go all in on RT/PT for next gen.
