GS report: PS5 in 2020, PS5 Portable in 2023 and PS6 in 2027!

Switch Doomed in 2023!?

I'll believe it when I see it.

And lol to Switch is doomed in 2023, please, Switch will be 6 years old by then.

haha, yeah, just like the Vita crushed the 3DS 8-)

That aside, it's just some random numbers froma random person

I'll buy the PS5 in 2020

Me too!

2021.... PS Jive

2024.......PS PortaPotty

2027.......PS Dix

lol :P

Ok first sony wouldn't name thier handheld ps5 portable and how would they manage to get ps5 in a handheld what's the battery going to be

Only thing believable is PS5 in 2020.

1. PS5 will happen in either 2019 or 2020.

2. I don't see Sony releasing a new portable console

3. It's impossible to tell right now if there will be a PS6 or 10th console generation.

Damn first I predicted the amazing Mario and Switch record breaking sales before anyone and also predicted the PS5 release date.

https://www.gamespot.com/forums/system-wars-314159282/playstation-will-have-another-meeting-early-next-y-33418364/

I be spot on with my predictions yo.

A lot of people said around 2020...

Anyway, I can't see them releasing another Portable device.

All this is possible, but anyone expecting a release date before October of 2020 is fooling themselves. No PS has ever launched in the US before September and the only one to launch earlier than October 26th was the original PS.

PS5 in 2020 seems reasonable. PS6 7 years later makes sense.

As for the PSP, I doubt we'll see it after the debacle that was the Vita.

@hrt_rulz01:

lol I can agree with that, unless Sony likes loosing money they need to leave that handheld market ALONE!

Like seriously, Sony probably couldn't have made a better handheld for the time than PSV and 3DS still destroyed it a million times over with what seemed like no effort at all on Nintendo's part.

For the love of gaming gods, if Sony has extra money please just put it on the development of their next gen console and more exclusives.

Eh, that was before Sony saw what Nintendo was able to do releasing 1Q of the year. All they need is a big AAA launch title (Say...The Last of Us 2?)

They'd potentially be swimming is double launch figure sales kind of like how Switch was able to accomplish with TLOZ and Mario Odyseey if they have another AAA for the end of the year (though I not expect the same level of success as the Switch is seeing).

Why would I listen to a Goldman Sachs report about anything, let alone a report about video games?

@lexxluger: won’t happen because since they’re ahead they can work on their own timeline.

Nintendo faced the pressure of not only having to launch, but having to launch during a time frame where they had no comp.

That's an interesting way to look at it, but then again the way it played out gave them the best result possible.

The Switch launched 1Q against no competition to a tune of about 900,000 and acheived virtually the same or even more this past holiday weekend, who knew?

It was like double launch figures...and this before Dec is even here.

Regardless of if it was Nintendo's "plan" they've acheived much greater success than they would have if they had just initially launched with the traditional season trend. As a home land competitor, believe me, Sony has not over looked that fact. They see all they need is a big AAA launch title and they can pull it off.

I'd say chances for my prediction to come true are pretty good.

I wouldn't mind to see PS5 in 2020 or even 2021.

@lexxluger: but what IP is big enough to carry a launch in March? Admittedly Sony is great about trying various new projects, but the only Sony game that I could see carrying the PS5 in March would be TLOU2. I doubt that Sony would delay TLOU2 to be a PS5 game. They didn’t do it with the original, why would they now?

lol it worked for Nintendo with Zelda :P

Also TLOU isn't a game they "need" to release for PS4 now. Sony has so many exclusives in the pipeline I can't even keep up with all their projects. They can easily streach TLOU 2 to 2020 March/April.

The game wouldn't be a native PS5 exclusive but then again neither was Zelda and they could put a shit ton of shine on the PS5 version with next gen level upgrade runing native 4k with all the fixings.

Sony isn’t gonna go portable again.

PS5 in 2020 is what I’ll be getting for sure.

@lexxluger: they’ll release it for PS4 then wait 5 months after PS5 and charge $60 for a remastered version.

People act like the next PSP would have to be a standalone system like the PSP and Vita were. I think what GS was trying to convey is that the PS5 Portable would be Switch-like.

PS5 in 2020 is about right.

Just like PS4 in 2013.

7 years of PS3 (2006-2013) and PS4 (2013-2020)

Could be the 1st playstation I ever pass on. But I have no clue what 2020 enzyme is up to... yet.

lol, you got jokes now.

Sounds like xbox fan wishful thinking.

Maybe for some older PS3 games but let's be serious, all PS4 games will be playable on PS5 day 1; probably all native 4k.

There's a 99.99% chance TLOU 2 is being built ground up with PS5 in mind as a cross roads next gen game between base PS4 and PS5.

@lexxluger: i hope so

I love BC and if the ps5 has it it all the way to ps1, its a day one purchase for me.

The fact that i can play KOTOR on my xbox with bumped resolution and textures is awesome, i own it on PC but had issues with it crashing.

Id love to play siphon filter agian or WWF smackdown

Who does this guy on Twitter think he is? Marty McFly?

That's not going to happen either, that would be sony fanboy wishful thinking...

PS4 is a no brainer, Sony literally has to make the library forward compatible to PS5.

PS3 and before? Eh, I am not even expecting it because I wouldn't want to be crushed. I don't know the technical limitations with PS3 but it's just no a easy or cheap task to convert Teh Cell to X86, I can live with that with what Sony has racked up in it's PS4 library.

If I want full PS Backward compatibility pre-PS4, I'll just buy a used OG PS3 FAT 60gig and call it a day.

I'd consider buying another playstation.... But I'd definitely buy another Ps portable.

Would people trust a Sony handheld again, considering how fast Sony dropped Vita support?

I buy ps5 thats all

Horizon Zero Dawn

@Nike_Air: Easy there buddy. Horizon is a great game for sure, but it’s not in the same state, let alone ballpark as Zelda or Mario when it comes to launch games.

Wouldn't need to care if you were happy with what you had

Takashi Mochizuki ✔ @mochi_wsj

A Goldman Sachs report:

2020-PlayStaiton5

2023-PlayStation5 Portable

2027-PlayStation6

So according to this guy in just 3 short years Sony will be able to miniaturize a PS5 into a home console. Unless the PS5 Portable will just play PS5 games with way lower settings I highly doubt that.

Doubt it. Sony would Never let this get out to the Public. It would give MS and Nintendo a head start into trying to predict what the HW will be capable of. MS would just figure out where GPU Tech would be in 2020 and what you could Cram in the box for $500. That would be pretty close to what Sony can release. Then beat by 40% and charge $600 for it.

I'm expecting PS5 in 2020/2021. No portable ever releasing. Sony should just leave that to Nintendo.

Edit: Unless Sony is purposely throwing this out there to mislead MS into thinking 2020 is the year. Then Bam release a $500 box in 2021.

@loco145:

Ps5 portable? What the **** does that even mean? Is it literally a portable Ps5??

Who said anything about changing the settings? I mean, hell, my Z5 Premium has a 4K screen on it lol

Don't they mean a PS4 portable in 2023? PS5 portable has to be a typo.

I could see a PS4 portable using a the 5nm node with EUV in 2023.

Anyway, PS5 in 2020 is indeed the only thing believable here.

@goldenelementxl: Fall 2019 is a Master Executive Lock.

The decision for a company to release new systems has more to do with performance of their systems they have on market and the sales of games on their system. Seems premature to predict a specific manufacturer's future console lifespan, part of it would assume a certain level of success for each, and maybe mid-gen refreshes might extend into next gen too.
