Which console will have the longer life span

I would expect the PS5 coming holiday 2019. Horizon Zero Dawn 2 will be aiming for launch. Microflipflopsoft seems to be flying around by the seat of their pants so it's harder to predict.

MS next gen console releases next year it is code named Scorpio. As for Sony I expect the PS5 to be out 2020.

I'm predicting PS5 in 2021, with Xbox Two(?) coming 2018.

@undefined: The Xbox 360 was here 11 years. I suspect that $ony will have the PS3 cycle ended soon.

Current gen I say the PSbore will be here longer than the Xbox One.

PS4

xbox one.

The NX

Useless thread. This person obviously is not aware that the traditional console cycle is dead or is just trolling us all.

Horizon Zero Dawn hasn't released yet, or do you think that GG have the resources to create two AAA budget games at the same time, one of which is for mythical, non existent hardware?

Relying heavily on multi-platform games. I don't think either console will have a notably longer life span.

It's releasing soon. Killzone 3 released in Feb 2011 , and Shadow Fall made PS4 's launch. Was the PS4 just a myth back then? Did it just pop out off thin air with a Killzone game? And Guerrilla is a very big studio by the way , and Sony will give them the general baseline specs for PS5 to start building out on PC first and they will transfer things over to the mythical PS5. Keep in mind that Horizon is a new IP and new greatness takes time , but Horizon 2 won't be a new IP. The foundation (and then some) will have already been laid years before PS5 's launch.

Those are my logical and reasonable expectations / predictions at this time all things considered (technology moving quickly / competition). I could be wrong , but I doubt it. Only time will tell.

History shows PlayStation ALWAYS has the longest lasting console support. This is a FACT. PS4 will be around the longest.

X1 is already pushing up daisies.

Now it's just decaying and starting to stink like leMS.

"3-4 years before Sony"... yeah keep dreaming

LOL, I suppose @notafanboy's profile pic pretty much sums it up

You're right, it will be the longest, the longest console to collect dust!

History shows that PlayStation leads the way in removing features from their consoles. Just look at last gen with the original launch model PS3 and then look at the last model PS3 Super Slim they left the generation with. The last console they left the generation with is bare bones compared to their original launch console. They gutted out so many things, removed so many features, and ended support for many more games and features & faster too. I remember they closed down online servers to games within the same generation. Just one out of many that comes to mind is Calling All Cars or something like that, within only 3 years they shut down online for that game. Also they shut down online support sooner than later for games like the Resistance franchise, MAG, Warhawk/Starhawk, Socom, Uncharted franchise, Haze, etc. just to name a few. They even shut down features like PlayStation Home, Folding@Home, PlayStation Qore and none of these carried over onto their next console. They don't even have support for backward compatibility and no official external hard drive support for games.

In contrast, the original Xbox 360 launch model kept on adding more and more features as the generation came along. Not only that console improved with features, it also improved in looks. Plus things like Avatars and everything that you invested for them, carries over onto the Xbox One. All the things people invested with PlayStation Home are gone without a trace, they took your money and ran. Also till this day, this generation, Sony continues to shut down online servers for their games like MLB The Show franchise on a yearly basis. And by the looks for it, they are continuing with the downgrading and removal of features for their console once again judging by the leaked PS4 Slim and NeO leaks if true. The support of games and features helps the life span of the console and so far the support for many more games and features carries over from the last Xbox onto the next Xbox, so that is undeniable proof that the support for games and features has a longer life span with Xbox over PlayStation.

Most likely the ps4. Ps2 had its last game made I think it was last year.

By default if Neo and Scorpio are to be considered PlayStation 4's and Xbox One's, the Xbox One will greatly outlive the PlayStation 4, it's simple hardware figures.

Also console generations are dead.

P.S. LOL at this fanboy shit show of "I'm predicting PS5 in 2021, with Xbox Two(?) coming 2018."

Yeah, let's just release Scorpio, the most powerful console by a large margin and replace it in a year... Where do you people come from lol?

It depends on AMD's 7 nm progress.

http://www.fudzilla.com/news/processors/40945-amd-working-on-7nm-48-core-processor

AMD has both in-house ARM v8/AArch64 compatible CPU(aka K12) and X86-64 CPUs.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9232/amds-k12-arm-cpu-now-in-2017

And though K12 is delayed, AMD tells us that this hasn’t changed how it’s being developed, which is to say that it’s being done in concert with Zen. So virtually everything AMD gets right with Zen will be integrated into K12 as well, just on the basis of the ARM ISA instead of x86. AMD still believes that the time is right for ARM in the server space – along with a very obvious place in the semi-custom SoC space – and that K12 will be an interesting alternative to Zen in that regard.

AMD's K12 would be the first ARM compatible CPU with ZEN's level performance.

There's only two GPU vendors with high performance.

This is the only objectively correct answer. Our Sony are currently still supporting the PS3 more than M$ are supporting the Xbox One... and now lems have lost Halo. We must all reach out to lems and remind them that our Sony will welcome them to the PS4 for rehabilitation.

Sony is more loyal to their consoles so PS4. The Xbone already feels like its dying and being replaced.

Please stop making threads.

Xbone is already dead.

One of the main reason why i favor Playstation consoles and the main reason why i really im against Nintendo consoles. You know beforehand youll be getting games over and over till next generation. NO hell , you know youll be getting games even into next-generation.

Now that I think of it, the PSbore is already on its way out anyway, so maybe it is the Xbox.

PS4 obviously, since MS dropped exclusives and try to counter the world's most powerful video game console in the history of video games, the current gen 8 leader PS4, its up to SONY to continue this gen,

Playstations have TRADITIONALLY been supported far longer than the competition, far longer than the average life span of consoles, which was usually 5 years. Anyone denying this FACT would be complete utter IDIOT rabid fanboy. The facts and history are there fellas.

I could see PS4 being supported well beyond 5 years. Hell, PS3 is STILL being sold/supported to this day. Except for Australia.

Now that's hardcore longevity. It's simple, PlayStation is a powerful/popular brand. You're very much instantly guaranteed to get strong 3rd party support in a wide variety of genres. And gamers want variety. Simple as that!

The OP's name gave it away actually lol.

Ditto.

I love gaming, but I am partial to my wallet even more. I look at the purchase of a console as an investment -- of my time, energy, attention, and money. Due to that, I lean to Playstation for software support throughout their consoles life cycle (poor Vita).

Playstation is proven thru years under all circumstances ( PS3 provided major NEW AAA caliber IPs when SONY as a whole was at the verge of bankruptcy , nuff said ). That alone says alot . Consoles speaking.

As for VITA , yes , it was a commercial failure and yes SONY pulled the plug , no excuses , but ... SONYs worst system ever ( which again was a handheld ) has double the games of NINTENDOs console ( Wii U ) in total. Nuff said i think.

But as i said , SONY had every excuse in the world to stop supporting either VITA , let alone PS3 if they wanted to , since they were in a multibillion year around loss , again and again. Nintendo had ZERO to let N64 go , GC go and Wii U let alone .... Wii !!!!!!!!!

So i agree with you , if people value their money , PS is the way to go , period.

Great points! The reason the PS3 has been able to survive so long is that it was equipped with teh power of the Cell. It is a bit of a shame Sony didn't want to develop a Cell 2 process for PS4, but perhaps it will return for PS5... We can only hope.
