PS5 Pro Leak Reveals Alleged Name and Design of the Console, so judging by this ps6 will release on 2028
IGN Error 403 - Unavailable (IFW-L01)
I don't understand why they would release a PS5 Pro. For the PS4 / Xbox One generation, it was somewhat justified because 4K TV became widely available and desirable shortly after the release of this generation, making the consoles almost obsolete.
This time around, I don't see the performance of theses consoles as a big problem. Interest has declined because prices of consoles and games are high, and there are not that many exiting games to play on them.
Making a more powerful variant has some disadvantages too, making game development more complex to support all variants. Microsoft has already suffered from this strategy with the Xbox series X/S.l, e.g:with BG3 local multiplayer
*Exciting
The problem with Xbox is that Microsoft requires parity with both consoles, so the more powerful X constantly gets gimped because the S can't handle something. With the PS5 and Pro this probably wouldn't be the case since games aren't gutted because of a less powerful model requiring parity, so they can just add some higher graphical fidelity to the Pro
Is a pro really necessary? No. Silly Playstation.
Now you can play no games with shorter loading times.
Or perhaps sooner depends on how desperate sony gets or how soon outdated ps5 gets
Outdated?
The biggest complaint I see is that not enough games are utilizing any of its features yet.
Yeah but some games like Final Fantasy run at 30 FPS capped and they suck.
They should start moving those games from fixed 30 FPS to a higher FPS. Doesn't even need to be fixed 60 FPS. If they enable VRR between 30 and 60/120 they will massively improve the experience.
I understand that some TVs can run VRR down to 20 or 30Hz.
Desperate about what? It has a many room for price cut to boost sales. All playstation consoles was release 6 or 7 years after the last, i don't see why it will be different this time
Sony seems really determined to include as many dust gathering nooks and crannies as possible on these things.
