Yes from last interview alongside leaked documents, I think their main target is to upgrade ray/path tracing capacity and I think this reasonable, currently the upgrade on graphics is heavily aligned to ray/path-tracing power more than regular raster power, so if next gen are capable of ruining game's with path tracing alongside good upscalled 4k, 60fps this more than enough
Because using mesh shaders instead of what they already have, or making full use of the I/O, or optimizing CPU takes more work. Getting rid of light baking takes less work. Using mesh shaders, even if the end result looks better, does not reduce their development budget. Devs will first gravitate towards things that result in cost savings.
That's one reason they won't confirm. Not to worry though, pretty sure the same games will be releasing on the PS5 long after the PS6 comes out xD.
SSD, particulary ps5 ssd vs what we got previous gen aka in ps4 with its super slow outdated af 5400rpm hdd(by then even cheap pc hdd were 7200rpm, sony really cheaped out big time) was huge improvement and it shows in all the games, ps6 even if it gets top of the top expensive ssd maybe it will be 2x as fast, maybe not even that, in games performance difference will be close to 0 (maybe 10% faster loading times, if that) between those 2.
You will not even be able to buy a PS5 Pro six months before the PS6 launches, mark my words.

PlayStation 6 Release Locked for 2027, "Not Just on the Table, It’s the Plan," Says Leaker Following Sony and AMD's Project Amethyst Showcase
After Sony and AMD’s “Project Amethyst” tech showcase teased the building blocks of the next console generation, a well-known tech leaker says PlayStation 6’s launch isn’t a maybe, it’s the plan for 2027.thegamepost.com

They are smart, first u spend cash on gta6 and pr0 bundle, then doubledip with ps6 version, obviously much improved, gotta get ps6 for that too obviously, and maybe later definitive edition in 2036 on ps7(which will rival maxed pc version from 2028 ;p ).
I was hoping that a portion of the SSD could be used as a way to store graphical assets with a read/write speed of 20GB/sec to 30 GB/sec which is almost the RAM bandwidth of PS3 and Xbox360, therefore freeing up the MAIN RAM of PS6 (and Xbox Magnus). I know there are latency issues, but every little bit helps in finding new creative technical ways to improve graphical fidelity and efficiency
no. pathtracing is the new thing.
Wooo where to begin.
They've been using that since the PS2 in 2000.I'm triggered by this image:
If Sony keeps using that god awful PS3Poor typeface for PS6 I'm going to punch someone!
Edit: wow, I just realized that since modern browsers don't show the alt text of an image the web had to implement a button to see the hidden second punch line. I'm twenty million years old already...
why would you use USA dates when the Japanese PS2 launch date (march 2000) makes the generation pretty close to 7 years as well.
Except Demons Souls and Returnal, if one is into that kind of games ( the latter can be played a lot better on PC now though).
The Nintendo Switch is currently sold for $350 in the US, while the Nintendo Switch 2 is $450.
Their big guns have already been released and they are Spider-Man Miles Morales, Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, God of War Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2, Helldivers 2, Astro Bot, Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei. Only Wolverine, Intergalactic and, perhaps, Marvel Tokon are still left at this point of the generation.
The PS5 era is over, then. Pack it up.
Not much, probably. The last non-sports, non-demo title Sony released on PS4 was a 2022 game delayed out of 2021.
Sony still released stuff that could run on PS4, but skipped it, afterwards. Stellar Blade? Astro Bot? LEGO Horizon Adventures?
I don't think so. Even if that's all there is, which is unlikely, coupling those with at least GTA 6 should be a hell of a catalyst for getting people to swap over to the ps5 from previous gen which makes far more sense than just scrapping everything again to start something that's also likely to be cross gen again.
I agree with your point generally speaking. But I think this next gen is a special case because we're coming up to a wall for die shrinks and rasterization. And, the tech for better RT and AI upscaling is already there.
First time I see GAF > GAF > GAF
GTA6, while will surely sell a good amount of PS5s, isn't enough to counter the natural decline of hardware sales after FY23.
