Sony Playstation 4 is nearing 60
million consoles sold and with Microsoft's XBox Scorpio Project out now, Ps4 is
soon to become an inferior machine from a specs perspective. Logic would point
to Sony having to respond in some fashion .So could PlayStation 5 be a
retaliation to XBox's 4K consoles as soon as 2018?
When will Ps5
be coming out?
Marketing
analyst Damian Thong and Michael Pachter have both individually predicted Sony
to release Ps5 in 2018. Does 2018 seem too soon?????
Yeah,it would
if you just bought a Ps4 pro in 2016.
Sony is
waiting for an increasing saturation of 4K TV's in consumer household before
launching a new hardware.
Whether you
believe Pachter or Thong(or neither), the rumblings make it seem as though the
Ps5 is certainly not too far away. As such, TrendzMag has put
together a wishlist of what we'd love to see, as well as all the latest news as
it comes.
Ps5 specs--How
powerful the Ps5 will be??
Ps4
released in mid of 2013 and then Sony released a mid generation refresh console
i.e Ps4 Pro in 2016.
The Pro came
with an overclocked chip set and a 50% boost in the computing power.
The XBox One X
wasn't Microsoft's mid generation refresh just like Ps4 slim both of which was
released in the fall of 2016.
XBox Scorpio
didn't come in 2016.Microsoft waited an extra year and delivered a true upgrade
and very few compromises.
Sony , at the
risk of insulting the millions who adopted the Ps4 pro, will need plan for
providing backward compatibility for Ps4 Pro.
Again without
any announcements it is difficult to fully assess what Ps5 will be able to do
from the hardware perspective. We can,however ,take a look at the
competition and see how Sony will compete.
Let's take a
look at XBox One X. It has eight-core 2.3 GHz CPU,paired with 12GB GDDR5 memory
and a GPU sporting 40 compute units operating at 1172 MHz. In Layman's
terms,this is a mid- range 2017 gaming console, but with lots of clever
software and hardware tricks to squeeze maximum performance out of it.
With a much
better CPU-GPU balance , the Ps5 could better use GPU for improved graphics
functionality. Now with the eighth gen Jaguar Processor the developers can
develop even richer and deeper worlds.
Now the
balance of power is swinging in Microsoft's favour,Sony will want to redress
that and offer a console even more powerful than the One-X, or perhaps Sony
will be able to counter with a less powerful but better-value console come that
woolly 2018 launch date.
Ps5 price-How
much will it cost??
As we don’t
even know its specs, we can’t accurately guess how much the PlayStation
5 will cost.
We will soon,
however, get some form of barometer when we find out the cost of the Xbox One
X. Early estimates predict around £450-550, which is pretty reasonable for the
performance on offer.
What do you hope to see from the Ps5? Are graphics top of your list or
do you just want a huge list of great exclusives? Lets us know on Facebook.
