If the rumors are true the PlayStation 5 should be launch in 2019 as Sony themselves have stated that the PS4 is in the final stages of its life cycle and Xbox Scarlett or whatever the name will be, will give out more details at E3 2019, but none of this information was made official.
The next generation for PlayStation and Xbox has built up high expectations, meaning that the evolution of their technology should spicy up the game in the industry. Artistic director Carlo Ivo Alimo Bianchi stated about the upcoming consoles that is willing to see a major change at the processing power and more and faster RAM.
Apparently, the cloud console will exist and will have some local hardware but it will ship cheaper price than the traditional Xbox console presumably will sell for.
This is very similar to what Microsoft tried with the Xbox One to begin with back in 2013, but there are two crucial differences firstly, the technology now is better than it was back then to handle something like and secondly, this time, for those players who don’t want a cloud only solution, Microsoft is providing the option to have a traditional gaming console instead, too.
The problem is that year after year the business gets tougher; the demands from players are being continually added to the list, adding more processing power will be the closer and beneficial solution but it requires an even bigger budget. But is more power going to make our lives any easier?
Having more power means creating larger games and supplying some of player’s demands but more power is not necessarily easing anything.
As Bianchi states, more power can create something only the biggest of studios can deliver for players but the more we invest in making the devices fancier and so on, the more will cost the costumers. So the previous question is tricky. As the demands keep on increasing their numbers, the companies will end up spending money on more processing power in order to please the players. For example, the price of a car gets higher as new parts are being added to it and so does the cost for Xbox and PS5. Now to see how the market responds to them this time.
