Would be a complete reversal that gen. Sony as a company would tank

PS5 is 2019. I have no issue at all. 6 years is more than enough for me. Hell they can release it next year and I wouldn't care.
You do care since 2019 is a made up year, Michael Patcher-san

America leads the world in sales, core American gamers do not care for Japanese gaming outside of Nintendo.

The core gaming you're talking about doesn't think black people in prominent roles should exist :francis:

Aggreed, hence the vehemence on my part on this subject

All the more reason to put them behind a shiny new paywall

I'm pretty sure PS5 will have backwards compatibility this time it shouldn't be hard to transfer PS4 games to work on the PS5 store especially with the x86 architecture. I think they probably wanted to put bc for the PS3 on PS4 but since there two totally different designed machines they knew the system would of cost more then 399 and probably didn't want to be in a another PS3 situation. Plus PS4 games will stay longer in the digital ecosystem to be purchased if backwards compatible. Now that PS3 is dead the digital catalogue with it is dead as well unless they bring all those titles too psnow. Sony would be stupid not make PS4 not compatible with PS5.

so what was the PS4 Pro then ?

I guess with 60 million sales, and their multiplats outselling the other brand's version (at least I think) you can afford to drop an upgrade for better frame rate and resolution. Apparently he says the PS4 is still selling strongly.

I guess the PS5 will be when they feel like they need to answer to Xbox 1X?

exactly... everybody crying like it better play the old games.. like 6 years too short

nintendo 85- super nes 91 - 6 years
nintendo 64 96 - 5 years
gamecube 01 - 5 years
wii 06 - 5 years
wii u 12 - 6 years



ps1 94 - ps2 00 - 6 years
ps3 06 - 6 years
ps4 13 - 7 years



xbox 01 - 360 05 - 4 years
xbox one 13 - 8 years



now of course they started doing these slims.. but that was the same exact system..

now they coming with this mid tier upgrade.. which is nothing but something for 4k. if you don't have 4k, you still playing the same GAMES from the same generation.. it's not like you getting something new


so yea... let the ps5 drop in 2018-2019 and what the fukk is there to complain about?
