1 TB PS4 Slim Finally Coming To US

@gaminsincepong: I can't think of a reason it wouldn't be backwards compatible. The architecture is just like a PC now. I'm pretty sure Sony is going the same route MS is going... as in, games will run on different machines, buy the one you can afford or desire to have.

@sodapoppimpski: well I think the 10 Terraflops seems to be a stretch given the cost of curent cards that are capabale of that. At today's prices it would cuase the PS5 to be in the $600 range if not more and that is assuming wholesale prices of the cards no retail. However in two years its possible, you can get the graphics quality of the GTX970 for roughly $150 less with the GTX 1060. Depending on what advancements are made between now and then(2019) maybe a $500 console? Thats a big maybe. Heck Sony could go with a 8 terraflops of power and still make the claim as being the most powerful. graphics power aside. Sony has to be at least planning for the next replacement. Will they actually wait to see how scorpio does before responding? Maybe. But if it does well before they respond then that could push the PS5 out to 2020. Thats a big risk. Sony is in a comfortable lead. But that does not guarantee they will remain in the lead. the PS3 came out a year later and was more poweful , but suffered sales for 2/3 of that generation. They caught up. But still, Do they really want to be in that position again? Microsoft has shown that every other generation of what they make typically does very well. Original xbox soso in sales. 360 a huge hit. XB1 lagging sales, Scorpio.... remains to be seen .But look at windows - XP did well, Vista- terrible, Windows 7, GREAT, windows 8 terrible, Win 10 GREAT. It stands to reason scorpio can do well. So now its Sony's move. Will be interesting to see what happens over the next 12 to 18 months.

@spartanx169x: just buy a ps vita and play your ps4 from there.

@joshrmeyer: I seem to remember something about that. He implied the average person might struggle with upgrading hardware. While I did upgrade my PS4 when I got it. there was plenty of opportunity for me to screw it up. for example, corrupting the software when loading the new drive, attempting to put in the wrong size drive, losing power while loading the software. But I will also say I actually prfer what XB1 did in allowing USB drives. I now have 4.5 terrabytes of space. - two 2TB drives and one 5ooGb drive. and unlimited ability for more. I hve both consoles and I have to be more selective for what games I keep on my PS4. I will get the pro , IF no new console is announced at E3.
