Welp, there you go.
Sony embracing last gen durration.
Why shorter?
It's an aging platform. My experience with GOW although largely positive was marred by inconsistent frame rates and performance issues. I had to opt to performance mode because resolution mode often dropped below the target 30fps. Performance mode was all over the place.
Hopefully we'll get a few late gen gems, like we had on all Sony consoles (Persona 4, Persona 5, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy XII, God of War 2, etc.)
Bad news, already on the verge boxing mine up. More than five years is far too long, old tech to begin with.

Its a console. After all console gamers have indicated that they are not interested in upgrading every month with PC gaming. :P
Recently, computer tech has not been advancing as it used to. Also, games require more time to develop. That means this gen ought to last longer than usual. I would like 20x faster PS5 in 2019 but it's not achievable. For Sony to offer enough leap compared to basic PS4 and especially the PS4 Pro they need to wait 3 more years. In the past, it took only 2 years to make a game and now it takes 3-4 years so instead of 5-6 years for this gen we get 8, like with the last one, counting from X360 in 2005. Nintendo is weird, coming out with 3 consoles during 2 console generations.

The tech is plateauing so the need for upgrading is being delayed longer than the norm. Soon it will be rare.
Where are all the cows that lems were saying would be upset about a ps5 coming to save the day from the supposed scorpio fearz? Oh, right.
The next three years of the Scorpio having the best Console Multiplats and you know MS is going to have it's act in gear so great first party games on the way to show off the power of the X!!!!!!!

Nah, it means the gap between the Bone and the PS4 will be gigantic that will make your Bonex irelevent and most people will think it never existed.
Let's not forget poeple thought Destiny was PS4 exclusive.
Better lem off a cliff over a museum, cause you're going extinct.

Yeah sure, The X is going to be down to $300 in three years so millions more are going to buy one. Best hardware, Best Online, Best Backward Compatibility, Best Features, And MS is fixing their first party problems.

Lol, so you're banking on beating the PS4 when it stops competing?

It would never be irrelevant because we have people like and the other Sony fannies around that just can't stop talking about. :)

That's how the PS3 beat the 360! LOL

LOL, the same millions more that were supposed to jump and get the X at launch over the PS4 because it was more powerful. How did that turn out for you last time?
I call BS. Ain't no way Sony is going to let Microsoft know exactly when they will launch their next console.
True. Sony could be baiting them again like they did last gen.
Remember when Sony was supposed to let MS reveal the new Xbox first last gen only to pull off that surprise Feb 2013 reveal?

5 years in and only 30 million boners. 3 more years and you think you can make 40 million and above while PS4 does 10 million a year?
LOL!!!
@Pedro: Not really. With new exciting waves of technological advancements lurking behind the R&D curtains (first coming MRAM in 2019), the PS6 may be equipped with a petaflop GPU. I don't think late 20s PCs are going to be anything close to what we have now. We are currently in a period of stagnation but it's going to end. A few years after PS5 releases.
@emgesp: Think Sony cared about Segas release cycle back in the ps1/ps2 days? MS has thrown three SKUs at the industry the past 4 and a half years... MS fell completely into the same trap and has been buying it's way out of the hole where Sega could not.
Nothing new is happening, and Gods honest truth is that PS5 is going to be a slice right out of the ps2 playbook. Sony is going to make MS spend money to stay relevant, and that is perfect as far as they are concerned.
The long game of chicken with MSes investors has only begun.
That would be just right for me. More time to get through my backlog and get a PS5 about a year after it comes out, and I won't feel like I'm missing out on much for too long.
For Sony, makes sense. It would be better for making as much money off PS4 before the transition, and it will be more affordable to go for a very big step up in power.

but , bu , bu, bu, they can't lie to their investors.
ah yisssss more holding back gaming
How?
In a way, because the next consoles will no doubt have far more powerful, different types of CPUs. You may remember this article which goes into detail on the subject. And of course, many multiplats are shared with PC. The wait doesn't bother me though. There's still so many fresh new games I've got to get through.

lol, they haven't given their investors a timeline on the PS5's release. They've just told them the PS4's time is ending and it will take 3 years to end.
Everyone knows that Sony continue to support their old consoles even when the new one is out so that end phase timeline can extend till even after the PS5 is out.
Sony doesn't cut and run like MS when it comes to their consoles. The PS5 can arrive at anytime between now and 2021.
@Ant_17: Probably not a problem to them because the ball is not just in their court, they have autographed it with games like GoW.
The pro upgrade also

Good point but not just that. People bring up investors like they have a magical seat in the board room. When investors sell stock, someone is buying it from them. Looking at a pulled back snapshot of these companies the graph is always a steady climb upward.
I think that with diminishing returns would make gamers less and less impressed with their new system unless hardware life cycles increase.
There ard plenty of people I know who weren't too impressed with the difference between this and last gen. The problem with that is last gen the consoles used tech that was most similar to high end gpu power and while the increase was nice the current gen gpus were similar mid/low end gaming gpu and if they give that same kind of range and time frame it should really do about the same or it may be disappointing.
I've had Sunset Overdrive this whole time for X1 but couldn't be bothered to finish it because of the frame rate and blur. If it comes to PC, I may actually play through it. So, it is not a matter of begging because I do not have access to the game. It is about not being happy with what is being offered and demanding more. What good is limiting a game to a platform if it can't even run the game properly? Everybody loses. Consoles are shit and exclusives that don't even run properly are just a waste of otherwise good games. Just look at a game like Bloodborne. What a waste. Would have been so much better on PC.
