Just on the topic of the PS3 I'd also remind everyone that at that time Sony weren't charging 40m people £60-£120 per year just to access their own internet connections on the console. They are now in a position where they rake in billions annually of what is essentially pure profit from this.
Extreme mental illness lol
The cult around this man never ceases to amaze me.
The last time I cared on this level about console wars I was unemployed in my early 20s and needed anything to give my life a purpose. The fact some of those folks have children is LOLworthy.
Shit. Got the $$$ mixed up. LOL. They are so high my head assumed $700 was Pro.
Well he is the architect of PS4 and PS5. Because of him MS badly lost the console war 2 times whereas their X360 drew against PS3. Thanks to him Playstation made billion of dollars and they are currently in a fruitful collaboration with AMD.
Which are still highs even coming down some though.
Yep, Canis will be the default entry point console. Sony will have no choice but to mandate support.
Yea so it would be like a ps5 pro 2, guess we could say ps5 is the final generation
If that's the new price, it's technically a bargain.
What a joke. Nearly six hundred quid for a console whose successor is already being spoken of with more regularity every passing month
Not even close, if we are being fully honest (something hard to do here, given the levels of zealotry).
If the international landscape doesn't improve, the portable PS6 with 20GB of RAM as the only next-gen console in 2027 is their best remaining option. Doing nothing isn't an option, and its portability doesn't invalidate the PS5 Pro.
In 2032?
His big "innovation"? Choosing an x86 processor well over a decade after MS did the same. A good practical decision, but hardly worthy of this kind of praise. Modern PS consoles are 99% AMD inventions and Cerny's role is to make people think they aren't.
Co-founded Digital Foundry, not to mention his legendary contributions to iconic video game publications during the 90s.
Not at all. Just looking at it in pure numbers. US/Can conversions are usually pretty close. Not 10%+ difference.
Ball knowledge. We will never get hardware based BC with every previous gen like that again. And free online. Even $60 a year online is a thing of the past, on Sony and Xbox.
I'm sure in late 2027 the prices will be great...
Makes more sense to buy this weekend I would say
With PSSR2+ and RDNA5 RT it will look better than PS5 games. It will have a lot more memory too so it will get all those PS6 generation games.So next gen baseline is slower than current gen?
Hey buy this Playstation device that's more powerful than a 4TF potato!
And if doesnt launch by then oops so sorry....Other than not stalking someone out of a Best Buy, pretty much.
I think the point he's making is to wait for new hardware by then.
so wait 3 yerars?Anyone who may be interested but hasn't bought a PS5 by late 2027 is probably just better off waiting another half a year or so and get the new gen at that point, IMO.
He has a point. $300m game budgets, you need at least 6 million copies sold at $70 to break even. PS6 is gonna be $700-$900, with a long crossgen period with PS5. Sony could lower budgets/graphics, but then the casual audience/fanbase that's been built, will cry about "where's my AAAA cinematic movie games"? Sony is flying by on the seat of their pants.
Man, these shills are desperate to see Sony repeat every single mistake Microsoft made.
Why are you stating this like it's their choice???
Its all predicated on Sony feeling the need to launch a ps6 to "keep up" with MS Helix. But this is the first gen where they are basically completely different markets in terms of expected pricing and where series gen sales have collapsed. In my mind there is no need for PS6 to launch in 2027, and the forthcoming price increases go towards that theory.Anyone who may be interested but hasn't bought a PS5 by late 2027 is probably just better off waiting another half a year or so and get the new gen at that point, IMO.
Where's the Xbox 360 of next gen?
Base PS5, Switch 2, PC, Helix, cellphone games, handhelds, etc. With the increased price everything else will become competition. If they don't have compelling exclusives people will stick with their PS5s and whatever else is out there. No one is going to pay premium for a console without exclusives.
Exactly. This time X360 is the PS5. Which is why exclusives suck on it.
Or with them.
If it's $349 or $399 vs a $800-$900 Orion? Then yes, it would be powerful enough to run all the major multiplayer games.
3 years would be 2029. I don't think they're (Sony) gonna hold off that long for PS6.
