let's say the ps6 comes out in 2027, would you buy it?

Yes, but 2027 is too soon.

After COVID-19 caused shipment problems and development delays, it's only starting to feel like this gen is in full swing (despite the likes of COD still being cross gen).

Wait until 2028/2029 then release the most powerful thing you can for £499

A PS6 that only has PS5 remasters? Na.

What makes you believe that will be the case.

As with PS4/PS5 there will inevitably be a cross-gen period, that's simply a result of game development costs these days.

But to pretend that every publisher will only put out PS5 remasters is ridiculous.
 
After the PS5, i am not buying another PS unless we're talking about PS2 level quality (for its time), which ain't happening with this Cali based company.
 
Probably not. I only use a console for couch co-op, and would rather have a living room PC for that going forward.

edit: If the next XBox really is just a PC capable of playing all PC games (including Steam), I'd definitely be interested in that.

I had the ps5 and now the Pro. It feels like it's only now, that the interesting games are starting to slowly come out.

2026 is going to be huge for PS5

I too have felt this gen has had a slow start , but now we're getting proper current-gen games my PS5 wish list is looking stacked…

(in order of expected release)

Death Stranding 2
Metal Gear Delta
Ghost of Yotei
Tokyo Xtreme Racer
Silent Hill f
Ninja Gaiden 4
Resident Evil Requiem
Pragmata
Onimusha: Way of the Sword
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance
Grand Theft Auto 6
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet
Gears of War: E-Day
Jet Set Radio 3
Virtua Fighter 6

No.
Even the base PS5 is away from reaching its limits and still has plenty to offer. The main issue is mostly unoptimized games, which create the impression that the hardware is no longer powerful enough.
The Pro - and even more so an early PS6 - would just give developers an excuse to brute-force more performance instead of properly optimizing their games from the ground up.
I'm curious to see GTA 6 and Intergalactic, those will surely offer a lot (techwise).

Also, Sony let me down this gen. I won't be a day-one adopter next gen and will take my time at first to see how things develop.

A console with Zen6, 24GB GDRR7, and graphics with the latest AI technology from AMD...give me 2.
Lmao only 24GB, I hope to God it's more than that. That's like them going from 512mb(total) with the PS3 to 768mb with the PS4, or 8GB with the PS4 to 12GB with the PS5. 1.5x more RAM is weak sauce, even the Switch 2 brought 3x more ram.
 
No reason to, unless they go back to the days of having lots of exclusives that I want to play.

With their current output I wouldn't even consider it, even if their games weren't already coming to PC.

Based on majority of their exclusives no longer appeal to me and fact it might not even come with disc drive….I would say no.
 
This would be the first time I wouldn't be day 1. Sold my ps5 after ff7 rebirth. Unless it had a exclusive launching with it like Last Of Us part 3 etc then I might be tempted. Otherwise Id stick to PC
 
The only thing I mainly need PlayStation for at this point is Gran Turismo.
Assuming the next GT is cross gen too, I can probably just keep my PS5 next gen as well.

Hell No. The moment Sony bent the knee to PC, buying a Playstation became irrelevant to me.
BRB. Going to load up Astro Bot on Steam... ...That was quick. I can't seem to find it. 😜


Until Sony goes full day one and all titles, I am still going to be buying their consoles. (same would be true of Microsoft and Nintendo).
 
PC all the way. If I do buy a console it'll be when it has multiple killer games way after launch. I'm not making the same mistake again.

I think there's little need to push beyond 24GB for a launch PS6, assuming the 24GB is fully dedicated to games (they can have a separate small/slow pool of memory dedicated to the OS) and assuming they implement L3 cache for the APU/GPU.

A full 24GB of GDDR7 would be nearly twice that of the base PS5's available RAM for games while also offering ~1TB/s of bandwidth and then paired with a decent L3 GPU Cache the effective overall throughput in well-optimised games could be more akin to 1.3-1.4TB/s, have significantly lower latency, reduce contention and reduce power consumption. If the SSD sees a simple bump to PCIe5 and with it a 2x speed increase, then after the framebuffer and other more persistent resident data, the entirety of the remaining space could be filled in well under 2 seconds (factor in on the fly decompression that's even better than what we have now plus a half-decent streaming system and it's effectively instant).

I think 24GB GDDR7 (8x24Gb) over a 256-Bit Bus with 960-1024GB/s of bandwidth is the smart play (alongside 4GB DDR5 for OS), then put every penny possible into making the main chip/s as capable as possible, incl. getting as big a chunk of L3/Infinity Cache as they can.

I believe the L3 cache in this scenario can provide 1.5-2.7TB/s for 32-128MB of data with a latency about 1/30th to 1/10th that of GDDR7 RAM and significantly lower power use (about 1/10th to 1/3rd). RT/ML workloads will favour this and resources may be better spent on overall throughput and efficiency rather than larger chunks of RAM. If they go with 32GB, they'd likely forgo the extra cheap RAM and use ~4GB of that for the OS and the real extra amount usable would only be ~4GB; with the extra cost they may be more inclined to go with slower RAM chips and less or no L3. I think faster RAM chips and a big chunk of L3 would be a better place to allocate those pennies. AMD's L3 Infinity Cache is a major efficiency gain and would in my eyes be an absolute no-brainer for any console going forward. Frankly I think the best thing Sony could do is turn this thing into a Cache Monster as the last console with a good level of bandwidth relative to its GPU was the base PS4 and the only viable way I see us getting a similar relative throughput at this stage is with cache rather than more or faster RAM.

Also, depending on timelines, cost and availability, 32Gb/4GB chips may not be plausible for PS6's release either, so they might have to go for 16x16Gb/2GB in a clamshell config to hit 32GB (as opposed to 8x24Gb/3GB to hit 24GB), which would not only be a high volume of chips but itself results in less efficient memory access, more complex routing, potentially-slightly higher latency and more thermal complexity. Sony have done this before for PS4, but it's preferable not to.

Absolutely tf not
Ps6 pro will be a thing.
Now that pro is the normal. ps6 "pro" is the real ps6.
not doing this buy-the-same-console-twice bullshit

Probably. The ps5 may not be my favorite gen but I'd be willing to give sony the same benefit of the doubt i give Nintendo.

Xbox is a 'lol fuck no' however

This makes zero sense. You'll pay the same money if not more 5 years later. Might as well get the better performance from Day 1.

It's not more or even the same amount of money when accounting for inflation. Most people make more money than they did 5 years ago too.

Ps5 released 2020 and people here pretending 2027 is too early. Wtf.

7 years would be a normal time for a new console generation.
But currently, process node advancements are so slow and so very expensive, that it might just be better to have a new generation every 10 years.
Add to that, how slow game development has become, that only recently have we seen proper next gen games, and not just cross gen games, with increase resolution and effects.

Let se see how well GTA6, Witcher 4 etc performs on PS5. I think GTA6 is going to be some 1080P 30fps on PS5 and Witcher 4 as well although the tech demo runs at 60fps at some 800-900P. Cyberpunk 2 is in pre production now so it will take many years before it releases. PS6 needs to have big upgrade otherwise no point in releasing new console.

This was always the case but in past gens despite your correct logic consoles seen a pretty big price drop. And you could also use that logic for the increased value you'll get for selling your last gen console. It'll have lost a lot of value by the time you upgrade.
 
I'll buy day one if I can. I'm expecting PS6 to be a better generation than PS5 in terms of less GAS, more single player games and less woke bullshit.

There is no way they would show Witcher 4 playing at 60fps on a base PS5 then say actually it's 30fps now when it releases. Even if you assume the base PS5 demo isn't going to be stable 60fps it was a base PS5 and PS5 Pro would be better. I think base PS5 will last well until 2028.
 
Yes, because I have tens of thousands of dollars worth of games on my PSN account. This is similar to asking if you will ever upgrade your phone again. Until there is a way to seamlessly transfer all of my purchases out to another platform without me paying a penny extra, I won't be fully abandoning this ecosystem. Same for Nintendo. The only one of the console maker I can do that with is Xbox because I have very few purchases on that platform. It's essentially a GP machine for me so I can be in and out of that ecosystem as needed.
 
Nah, I'll be pc only from now on. There is no reason to own a PS anymore if you're not a die hard "console experience" fan.
