Michael Pachter: PlayStation 5 kommer tidligst i 2019

Selvom PlayStation 4 Pro næsten lige er kommet på markedet forhindrer det ikke den anerkendte spilanalytiker Michael Pachter i at komme med et kvalificeret bud på hvornår PlayStation 5 udgives.

I don’t see that happening. I think Scorpio will have same rules as PS4 Pro- every game made for PS4 Pro has to be fully compatible with PS4. Similarly, every game on Scorpio will have to be backward compatible on Xbox One. So what I think that means is that games will have to run at, say, 1080p and 60fps, but can be upgraded to 4k and 240fps or whatever it will be. But the game will have both on the disc, the hardware will know what file to play, so the Xbox One or PS4 looks for the standard file, while the Pro or Scorpio will pick up the better, faster content. I think that’s what you’ll see, I don’t think that’s a problem, and I think that very few games will support Xbox One Scorpio at launch- the games that support PS4 Pro will definitely support Scorpio, and they may not even run at 4K.

So games will run better, but they will be backward compatible- Microsoft is not replacing the Xbox One- they are upgrading it. So no, Sony will not come up with more hardware in 2018. You may get a PS5 in 2019 or maybe 2020, and an Xbox Two in 2020, and we will continue to get new consoles every three years, and their software will be compatible with the system released right before it. I think that’s going to be the pattern.

Microsoft laver sjov med PlayStation 4 Pro

Det er tid til hævn, som nogen måske husker, så lavede Sony’s Adam Boyes og Shuhei Yoshida sjov med Microsoft’s Xbox One og deres DRM planer i 2013. Microsoft har besluttet at PlayStation Meeting var rette tidspunkt til blod.. eh, digitalhævn!

Sagen er at PlayStation 4 Pro ikke understøtter 4K Blu-ray, men der vil dog være HDR understøttelse, men også et prisskilt på 399$. Den slags skal man naturligvis lave sjov med på Twitter.
