"leak" 5 years before release is not a leak it's a sensational head line.<p>Especially when you read: which is likely to occur around [redacted])
They’re simply saying that Xbox’s promise to keep Activision software on PlayStation “long-term” is likely only going to last for this console generation, and will end around the time of the PS6. This is their attempt at putting the phrase “long-term” into perspective. This isn’t an announcement or leak on the scale of the GTA 6 leak. Just Sony stating the obvious fact that the PS5 will not be their only console for the rest of time.
> “Even assuming that SIE had the ability and resources to develop a similarly successful franchise to Call of Duty, it would take many, many years and billions of dollars to create a challenger to Call of Duty – and the example of EA’s Battlefield shows that any such efforts would more than likely be unsuccessful."<p>Ouch that has to burn
It doesn't really leak a release date, just when they say they plan to stop making Activision games available on Playstation. IMO it's ambiguous about whether that means they'll continue to make new games for the Playstation platform as soon as the merger is concluded, it could be that they are just allowing the back catalogue to remain up on PSN until 2027.<p>A 7-year release cycle is normal though.<p>PS2 - 2000<p>PS3 - 2006<p>PS4 - 2013<p>PS5 - 2020<p>Xbox - 2001<p>X360 - 2005<p>XB1 - 2013<p>XB-SX - 2020
I guess it's the standard console cycle, probably with a refresh in the middle, around 2024?<p>Oh, how is PS5 performance compared to 2022 midrange gaming PCs?<p>I remember some sort of benchmarks and for 2020 I think it was very competitive.
Does anyone find this interesting compared to the smartphone market where Apple and Samsung are pushing out $1k phones _every single year_?<p>You can say it's hard to find a PS5 at MSRP ($499 or $399 if digital) but it's still on a multi year (+5 at least) release cycle. Whereas the current iPhone generation (14) starts at $799 and $999. And next year you get a new one, and the next year another. And prices will increase too. I don't know the whole thing is just crazy to me.
Playstation 5 is still experiencing shortages even after all this time, you can only really find one if you join a wait list or pay a markup. The game catalog leaves more to be desired as well, I can only find like 3 games right now specifically for PS5 that are not also on PC worth playing, but fine, maybe that's more to do with me specifically. Either way, can we maybe resolve the current shortages before looking forward to the next one?
I'm more interested in know if the Pro versions of the PS5 and XSX come out in 2023.<p>I've read rumours, anyone here work in gaming and seen them as devkits?
Even when we will reach the reasonable maximum of transistor shrinking, then GPUs can scale up based on electric power.<p>If we allocate 1kW for a gaming system, GPUs will be able to scale up a lot more.<p>That's for theory, then the limiting factor could become the vram unable to feed fast enough the GPU, then we could imagine GPUs with "less vram", but something ultra fast like "only cache memory".<p>playstation 10?
