PlayStation 5 does not come before 2020, says analyst
The PlayStation 4 has already extended beyond its original model. At this time, in addition to the standard console, Sony also offers a Pro model and a virtual reality system that is helping the company to explore the capabilities of this platform. On the other hand, it is true that the console is already in its fifth year of life, a period that, however, is still lower than the PlayStation 3 cycle.According to NPD analyst Mat Piscatella, PlayStation 4 will remain at the top of the Japanese company's portfolio for at least another two years. The successor, should only arrive in 2020, when PS4 has seven years of market.
The expert stresses that by this time, Sony should reach the 100 million PS4 sold. "The hardware units are dependent on content and pricing strategies, I'm interested to see how the price of PS4 will change throughout the year, both at the base level and in the value of the promotions. (2019), but I think it will not be as good compared to 2018, "IGN quoted referring to Piscatella's comments to Gamingbolt. "2020 is what I have set out in my predictions [for the PS5 release]." The data suggest that there is no need to put it on the market earlier, but I've been surprised before, so I'm just as curious as anyone else " , he concludes.
Until then, it is expected that Sony continues to feed its current ecosystem with AAA titles, as is the case of the already announced God of War or The Last of Us II. So if you're thinking about getting a PS4 in the coming months, be sure to do it to wait for PS5. By the end of 2018, at least, it is very unlikely that the Japanese company has any relevant announcement to make regarding a possible launch.
Recall that one of the latest predictions by an analyst indicated a launch in 2019. Michael Pachter said in July last year that one of the particularities of this new console should be backward compatibility, which will make possible the use of games of Wednesday generation on the fifth generation of consoles.
