Industry Analyst Michael Pachter, a long-time hypothetical spokesman, conducted an interview with GamingBolt, probing his predictions about the next generation of consoles. Pachter, who is an badyst at Wedbush Securities, believes Microsoft will soon be at the door with its next generation console – supposedly named Xbox Scarlett – beating Sony at the door and receiving the "I'm sure Microsoft has the intention to launch the first, and I am also certain that the new Xbox will be backward compatible with any Xbox One X software, "said Pachter in the interview

." I am agree that it is hard for Xbox One X buyers, but they should know 4 years in a cycle that there is another one coming in. I guess Microsoft has it. intend to launch in 2020, but if they think that Sony is going [to launch the PS5] they will get started early. "

One can guess if that's right – but with recent conversations around the Scarlett platform Microsoft The send-off of the next generation begins to grow

Introduction – The Sony PS5 is fast approaching, which we know for sure. But the exact details on the next PlayStation console are constantly changing like the sands of time. And until the company makes cast-iron ads, it's unlikely that we'll know the exact details of the gaming giant's next move. But what's clear is that it's last three or four months, the discussion around the PlayStation 5 as well as Xbox Scarlett) has reached unprecedented levels.

If this is indicative of previous rumors that PS5 development kits were in the wild is fuzzy, but this suggests that we are now approaching a critical point in the PS4 life cycle

Even with a canon charge of excellent exclusives PS4 yet to come, the console begins to slow down (very) slowly [19659006] E3 2018 has not given any announcement on the PS5 console from Sony, but one can imagine that they will not be able to avoid it next year at the E3 2019.

As such, we are waiting for information , leaks, specifications and even game ads related to 'next-gen' are going to start coming thick and fast over the next 12 months.

For now, however, we have details, predictions, and industry badyzes that you can correct, and we will update them every week

PS5 Release Date – When the PlayStation 5 arrives?

This is probably one of the most important questions asked by console owners, but also one of the most difficult to answer.

We will start from the beginning. We know very well that Sony is developing a new PS5 console, as confirmed Shawn Layden, who is, for those who do not know, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment America (SIEA) as well as President of SIE Worldwide Studios.

Layden confirmed in an interview during the E3 2017 that the PS5 is coming, but the console too "will probably be sometime"

And more recently PlayStation CEO John Kodera told investors that the PS4 "was entering the final phase of its life cycle" after five incredible years of play

This is the reason why we believe that an announcement will probably arrive at E3 2019, with a view to the release of PS5 by Sony in 2020.

PS5 Date of exit – Why 2020?

Overall, 2020 appears To be the accepted date that most experts and industry badysts believe that Sony will launch a new console.

In addition, the source and prediction that we are inclined to believe most comes from Digital Foundry.

The sister site of Eurogamer is well known for his deep dives in game performance to see exactly how they work on a console and they are, in our opinion, among the best technical experts when he comes to consolidate the game.

So when they write a story titled "PlayStation 5: when can Sony really provide a generational leap into power?

For those who do not want to read right now, the prevailing opinion of history seemed to suggest that it would be foolish to badume that Sony would release a new console before Q4 2019, but that A 2020 version

PS5 Price – How much would the PlayStation 5 console cost?

Again, we can not say with certainty without a cast advertisement from Sony. But based on previous versions, it is more than possible to make an educated and credible guess.

When the PlayStation 4 was launched in 2014, it was available for £ 349 in the United Kingdom and $ 399 [19659045] in the United States.

Fast forward a few years when Sony launched its most powerful PlayStation 4 Pro and it too was launched at the same price as the original PS4, at £ 349 in the UK And $ 399 in the United States .

We think that it is here that we will see the launch of the PS5, with the PS4 Pro becoming the default PS4 model at a reduced price of £ 259 in the UK and $ 299 in the United States

It also seems that the serious mistake made by Sony that burned a lot of fans with the overpriced PS3 launch price of £ 425 in the UK and $ 499 in the United States has also been learned.

So, we hope you won Do not pay a penny of £ 399 for the PS5, if it's closer to £ 350

PS5 Games – What new titles could we play at launch?

The PS3 in the PS4 era gave us our first true taste of multi-platform releasing games. And wisely too. Both The Last of Us and GTA 5 came out near the end of the PS3 console's lifecycle to arrive at the PS4 with even greater visual fidelity.

And we suspect that the jump between PS4 and PS5 will result in a lot more transgeneration of games coming out on PlayStation 4 before releasing a new version with more graphic extras on the PS5.

While we can not say for sure which games will come on PS5, there are some that we can offer to come to the next console, as well as some annual releases that we doubt will miss either.

The games we think of are:

• Death Stranding
• Ghost of Tsushima
• Cyberpunk 2077
• Call of Duty
• FIFA 2021 on PS5
• PES 2021 on PS5 [19659059] Final Fantasy 7 Remake
• Starfield
• The Elder Scrolls 6

Call of Duty 2019 Index

An Employment List for the Next Call of Duty from Infinity Ward may have given a hint about the release date of the upcoming Sony console

The reason for this is largely due to the list implying that the role of the work suggests that the game is developing for many

According to the job list on the SelectMinds recruitment site, Infinity Ward hires a temporary narrative writer to work on a game "new , exciting, unannounced "who is developing" platforms next- Gen . "

To be clear, the list does not explicitly say that this is for Call of Duty, but since Infinity Ward did not develop anything outside the games Call of Duty, you'd be surprised if they hire for something else.

At this point, it is generally believed that any next generation system, for both PS5 and Microsoft's next Xbox, would arrive at the earliest in 2020

The implication is therefore that either next-gen consoles arrive much earlier than everyone else anticipates, or Infinity Ward are not ] developing the game Call of Duty the following year, but the following year

The only problem with the latter, is that in general the developers of Call of Duty are working on three year cycles, next year being the turn of Infinity Ward.

Similarly, the only way this could change, in our mind, is if a new developer is lined up p for a new annual release of Call of Duty. Who knows, maybe Raven Software, who worked on the Modern Warfare Remaster, might be up to it. Only time will tell …

PS5 Top Compatibility – Do PS4 Games Work?

The current PS4 console uses an AMD accelerated processing unit ), built on the architecture of x86-64 machines

Now, this Is hypothetical, but if Sony uses this same architecture in the next PS5 console (which seems, probably) there is a good possibility that the machine could offer backward compatibility feature with PS4 titles [19659081] PS5 Backward Compatibility – Will PS3 and Old Games Work? ] This seems more unlikely since the same architecture does not support this feature.

We believe that going forward, it is more likely that Sony will continue to push its digital service PS Now which c currently offers more than 650 games covering different PS2, PS3 and PS4 systems. 19459007 19459007 19459007 Currently, PS Now works as a streaming service on PS4 and PC. But, if we believe the rumors, PS Now could move to a new system that also allows to download games for an offline game. This comes from an anonymous source of Kotaku UK who claims that the new feature will be launched in September

Sony still learns from the mistakes of the past

Like any PlayStation fan Sony knows it and remembers, the transition between PS2 and PS3 was one of the most difficult times for the giants of the console.

But a delayed launch and a wildly expensive price tag pushed the PlayStation 3 back a bit and gave Microsoft the edge. Launch of Xbox 360

Shuhei Yoshida of Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios spoke about these difficult days with Eurogamer at Develop in Brighton and also promised that future PlayStation consoles would no longer make the same mistakes.

"Ken [Kutaragi] was such a brilliant engineer – the team that worked for Ken was so motivated, he was a great motivator. He was perhaps using video games as a springboard to realize his vision and his Dreams – He wanted to become the next Intel or something … He always approached the developing game systems, until the PS3 – they are working on a system on their own, "said Yoshida.

" And we did not have access until it was done He trusted the developers – whatever he did, the best developers would be able to work on it and understand it. 39; has not seen the need to involve game developers in the design of the system – that is how the PS3 was made. "

" It's human nature, " Yoshida says, "People make mistakes, I do not know why, we're all human – we do not PS4 is doing so well, but we do not forget why we are here now. "

The suggestion, perhaps, is that by not including the developers in the process of building the new machine, this has created more work for those but as we have done. said Digital Foundry, Mark Cerny, who was once the PS4's chief architect, was again "talking to developers about their needs for the next-generation PlayStation." [19659006] It does not seem that Sony wants to re-read the mistakes they made in the past.

During the E3 2018, Gamespot had the Eric Bright, Head of GameStop Merchandising Division, who quickly spoke of the potential of the next generation of consoles.

Specifically, Bright quickly suggested that the launch of the new PS5 and Xbox Console in a few years will see another increase Huge sales, which he described as a "frenzied flow".

Bright also highlighted the recent launch of Nintendo Switch as an example, highlighting how the company was selling faster than the consoles.

"When is this always the big question? Phil Spencer announced that they were working on a new Xbox, what everyone expects of me.When, I do not know.I honestly, I Do not do it, but like every material transition that's happening – and GameStop has gone through a lot in the past – it's a great time for us. "

" It's going to be a food frenzy that I intend to generate huge traffic in our stores, "Conclut Bright

However, it will be interesting to see if store sales will be affected in the long run, especially if the conversation around consoles becomes less dependent on physical media and record players.

The week of investment company Piper Jaffray, written by badysts Michael J. Olson and Yung Kim, suggests that the market of physical gambling declines at a rate of about 10 points per year.

The report is It also suggests that profit margins would be significantly increased for publishers if consoles become 100% digital because distribution costs would be (practically) eliminated.

"We believe that it is certain that video games will be ~ 100% digital in the comi.While we doubt that the next generation of consoles completely removes disk drives, we believe that 2022 is a realistic expectation, say, Olson and Kim would not be surprised if the PS5 and Xbox Scarlet begin to pave the way for a new digital wave for consoles, focused on a concentration focused on streaming platforms such as the PlayStation Now and Xbox Game Pbad initiatives.
