PS5 May Arrive In 2nd Half of 2018, Nintendo NX October Reveal Clarified – Analyst
PS5 already?



At this point, we actually don’t know when the Nintendo NX will be revealed- the original rumor was for September, but that’s seeming increasingly unlikely as more and more of this month passes. A report that emerged last weeksaid that analysts are projecting a reveal for the console in October, now, which is a point that The Wall Street Journal’s Takashi Mochizuki recently stated on Twitter, clarifying the notion that if we don’t get to see it by TGS, we will probably not see it announced till next month.

The NX was not the only console he talked about, however- he also notedthat Damien Thong, the lone analyst who correctly predicted the existence of the PS4 Pro and the PS4 Slim, was also predicting that the PS5, as in the successor to the PlayStation 4, will be arriving in the second half of 2018.

That would… honestly be a bit too soon for my liking. The PS4 Pro just launched, after all, and in 2018, the PS4 itself would only be five years old. I think Sony would do well to hold off on introducing a PS5 for a good while.

To clarify: Analysts expect NX unveiling by TGS next week, and if it would't be the case, there should be some updates by early October.

PS4 Pro? Wait, what about PS5? Macquarie's Damian Thong who correctly predicted PS4 slim and Pro says PS5 may arrive in 2nd half of 2018.

I asked because I just came across this interview Phil Spencer did with Giant Bomb last week. He clearly states the Scorpio will never have games different from the Xbox 1. So if MS keeps their word. No way another MS console is released until at least 2020 or 2021. That opens up room for Sony to release the PS5 in 2018 or 2019.

The PS5 could launch with 5.5 "teraflops" which is less than Scorpio, but all that power could be used for exclusives or 3rd party unlike Scorpio. Phil out his own mouth said there would never be different sku's or anything exclusive to Scorpio. To me it looks like MS will have stuck themselves into this Gen a year or two too long. All that power just to play a better looking version of a X1 game a year & half later don't seem worth it.

With that said if Scorpio can be around 400$. that would tempt me. I just don't understand why Scorpio is not a new gen? :manny:
