I still doubt we'd get the supposed PS5 in the actual mass market/consumer hands any earlier than late 2020.

During its final phase, xbox 360 sold more units and games than any other console.

Same will happen with PS4. It will remain high seller, even after PS5 launches, and will continue to get ace games.

Reason PS3 died during its final phase, was because it was the inferior console and had lot less users than 360. Well, that wont happen to PS4, because its the dominant console.

Both AMD's 7 nm GloFlo (e.g. Ryzen Next) and 7nm TSMC (e.g. Vega 20) chip designs are sampling in H2 2018. I expect AMD PC's CPU and GPU products in 2019.

Expect 7 nm for current PS4 products to reduce cost before any PS5.

I sure hope not. I want to enjoy my Ps4 Pro without having to upgrade again for at least 3 more years.

I thought it was common sense PS4 is entering it's final stages?

Still doesn't mean we'll see PS5 next year....

PS5 won't be released until Holiday 2020 at the soonest.

If you're expecting PS5 to happen in 2019, get ready to be disappointed.

The PS4 is doing so well at the moment and still has so much great potential and momentum that Sony would have to be absolutely fucking mental to start rocking the boat with PS5 talk.

@henrythefifth: Ah ah. Quit making shit up. The PS3 initially sold less than the 360 and caught up late because Microsoft pretty much dropped support for it by 2011 whereas Sony continued to release quality games for the PS3 well into 2013. You got this backwards.

Its pretty obviously considered how scaled down this years E3 will be for Sony. Basically doubling down on a couple exclusives that have already been announced. 2019 will be PS4's swansong year. Sony has had a fantastic generation with the PS4 and should be proud with what they have accomplished.

Yep, PS4 Super Slim in 2019 and PS5 in 2020.

PS4 will still get support for the next three years at the very least. PS5 won't come out until 2020 and even then a lot of games with be cross gen.

That's what I expected. Announced and revealed early 2021 PS5, E3 showing. Holiday 2021 release.

2021 might even be disastrous if MS manage to pull their act together and do something special with the Xbox One X.

You're are one year off. 100% will be announced/released in 2020. 7nm process will have had over a year to mature before the PS5 is launched. Thats plenty of time.

It's pretty hard to see where they go from here. The Pro is already in 4K.

If they make an 8K Console there is like nobody with that.

1. PS4 Pro isn't a true 4K console.

2. Pro simply scales up PS4 level games.

3. Jaguar cores has been a huge bottleneck this generation for all Sony and Xbox current consoles.

PS5 will have enough grunt to not only offer true 4K experiences but with more improved graphical fidelity on top of that, plus the switch to Ryzen cores should ensure more stable frame rates in general.

What?

PS3 was owning in the last phase of last gen with exclusives left and right, meanwhile 360 was focussing on kinect... Look at sales numbers, PS3 was destroying 360 and in the end beat 360 by a small margin worldwide.

Organizations are long-term oriented and forward thinking. From a planning and implementation mindset, 2018 is pretty damn close to 2020/2021, especially when considering how many years it takes to develop games. Preparing investors for this now also gives them a few year outlook of the company.

Releasing it in 2020 seems way too early and PS4 still has much to offer despite this gen is aging faster.

7 yrs is not too soon. And PS4 will have more to offer both this year and through 2019.

10 - 12 Tflops of GPU horsepower with 8 Zen cores and at least 16GBs of GDDR6 for game development will be a big enough jump to see some truley fantastic looking games.

Look how amazing God of War looks on a 1.84 Tflop console with 8 crappy low performance Jaguar cores.

Well one can still hope, even if it's unlikely. In my perfect world every system would release with the poor mans edition and a real hardcore system which is for enthusiasts

@emgesp: What I mean is, PS4 games can do 60fps but console developers will always go for raw graphics over performance. PS4 has the right tech and I don't see any console developers going for better framerates at all for PS5.

If things are winding down into a 2020 release, it's all good. At least they seem to have a good slate of games ready before they go.
