who's surprised? both sony and microsoft have been using x86 AMD CPUs and AMD GPUs since ps4 and xbox one and will be using them for next gen, so backwards compatibility with those systems should be obvious

My theory is that there won't be very many games that can only be played on the PS6. I think the model will kind of shift to where you don't need to buy the new console, at least not right away, and games will keep getting released for the old systems as long as they can support them. It would kind of be like PCs I think, where you just upgrade if you care about better fidelity, but your old PC still works.

>but since optimisation is a lost art you'll be more or less forced to buy the newest console anyway.
At some point sure...but that's the case for all tech. The real issue is that in previous gens, by the time you got to that point, the console was much much cheaper than on release. These days the price might increase which is just retarded. And that's without even factoring in scalpers and resellers.

Not him but a hacked PS4 is a great little gaming device for casual games and RPGs. Some games don't really need to be 60fps while others badly do which is why you have a PC. It's also fun if your trying to platinum.

The most embarassing thing about Sony is they didn't even port their best games to PC. They didn't port Bloodborne so people emulated it instead. They didn't port TLOU remaster but the shitty demake instead. They didn't port the old classics.

Nope, just a home console and a handheld, there isn't budget PS6 home console, the Orion is your budget PS6 home console, kek. Unlike the Series consoles though, Sony isn't making devs work from top to bottom for optimization, they're making them work from bottom to top for it, true optimization.

I mean that's a given? The more interesting part for me will be to see if PS4 games are finally 60 since most were left at 30 on the PS5 and if PS3 games are still streamed.
With the hardware all PS3 and PS4 gen games should run at high res/60-120fps, otherwise I don't see the point. It'll just be another modern AAA games only machine.

Imagine them using this as a slogan or a promotional feature in the future and then announce there is no disc drive. The reception would be hilarious to blow up in their faces.
I can play PlayStation 1 games on PlayStation 5 currently. But that doesn't mean its backwards compatible. It just means those games are on the PlayStation Market Place through a digital service. Buying your old game catalogue again gradually is not backwards compatibility, its extortion for nostalgia.

Almost all the PS5 games I own are PS4 upgrades. I only own ONE PS5 game I own is also on PC. Owning a PS5 has been a massive waste of money and I won't be picking up a PS6 regardless of them not making PC ports anymore. One game is not enough to sell a console.

If it makes you feel better, they're working to bring Japan Studio's spirit back during the PS6 era with the handheld being a huge factor in that. Herman Hulst is rumored to be "fired" Phil Spencer style, meaning he's still there to finish his era out but he's no longer calling the shots. The current western crap is the last of Hulst's nonsense before Sony switches everything back to Japan. Sony's been reallocating resources from their western SIE branch to their Japan SIE branch hiring and growing their Japanese SIE for a complete takeover. Soon, Sony's movie games and live-service trash will be a thing of the past, and the types of games we got with the PS1-early PS4, including their gameplay-focused, quirky, and family-friendly western games and franchises they abandoned. They also plan to bring back a lot of their Japanese first-party series and franchises they abandoned as well. Sony has pivoted to optimization and efficiency to keep Nintendo and Valve from pushing them out of the gaming market.

Yeah, it's pretty easy now that those damn things just use off the shelf PC hardware which has been backwards compatible all the way back to the original IBM PC. No need for emulation, you just need some compatibility layer for the software.
Come back when you fuckers can actually mod your games on the hardware you supposedly own. Maybe then I'll be impressed.

Yeah and basically any other console like the xbox or the steam machine can also play the overwhelming majority of ps3, ps2, ps1, psp and vita games. You'll be able to play bloodborne at 4k60 with enhancements on an xbox than you can on a ps6. Think about that for a second.

Those sales don't matter if those games cost too damn much to make. Rumor is they no longer give a shit about Microsoft and their Xbox anymore, they're focused on Nintendo and Valve now and see that Microsoft's blow billions on AAA slop is a detriment.

>thinking releasing a PS6 would make any sort of business sense in today's gaming landscape
And I thought you retards were at least a tad bit smart. A new console like the PlayStation 6 will bleed them a shit ton of money, but not bankrupt them. The market is shifting towards PC gaming. There's a chance that they will return the PSP and have it be compatible with games both old and new and will eat away at the Nintendo Switch 2's sales. Why do you think Microsoft is considering on pulling the plug on the XBox?
tl;dr - there will be no PS6 and OP is a fag.

Neither will do that because it's the era of niches. Nintendo won, Sony won, Valve won, they're just making stable fortress that can never be toppled. Microsoft lost, their plan to take over console and PC gaming with an iron fist since 2001 has failed and they no longer have a place in gaming. Their bullshit will start to get reverse the more irrelevant they become.

Not him, but what retard gets an Xbox over Steam Hardware? Don't call yourself a console or PC gamer if you shill for Xbox. Xbox, since 2001, damaged both the console and PC industries making video games shit. Gaming was better before Xbox even existed. In know universe or timeline is Xbox the best option over anything, I'll choose death over ever owning another Xbox again.

>There is NO excuse for all consoles to not be backwards compatible with ALL games on ALL of that company's previous consoles.
PS2 Emotion Engine and PS3 CELL were nightmares for programmers. the only people who actually got to use it to its full potential were Naughty Dog. People also forget that the reason Sony was so insistent on pushing their custom in the PS2 and PS3 was because they had plans to license out the Emotion Engine and Cell technology for other uses beyond video game consoles.
Kutaragi wanted the PS3 to ship with 1 cell as a cpu and 1 cell as a gpu. Mark Cerny is fucking insane for STILL having only himself know exactly how the PS3 worked and never sharing it with anyone aside from those secret CELL developers at Sony.
They were either falling behind in development, or realized that this was utter fucking stupidity, so they went plan B and asked Nvidia to give PS3's GeForce 7800 was also kind of old, being a pre-unified shaders design that was absolutely obsoleted within a year of the console's release by the 8800, bolted it on, and shipped it. PS3- 1 Core Cell PPC / 6SPE with 7800GT graphics
Mark Cerny wanted PS4, PS5, PS6 and PS7 to be AMD APUs because it was cheapest and easiest for programmers. any optimizations done for PS4 will just help PC get further ahead. ps4 and ps5 are both x86-64
FX-8350 @2GHz, a HD 7850 and a 5000 RPM hard drive are roughly equivalent to a PS4.
Ryzen 7 3700X and an RX5700 which are roughly equivalent to a PS5. Sony has the Tempest audio engine and the Kraken compression blocks. PS5 SSD read speed 5,558MB.

>but not PS3
I hate that I have to go and get a PS3 again to play my old game library. There's a lot of good games stuck on the PS3 and I don't just mean exclusives, but multiplat games that were never ported to PS4 either.

Mark cerny admitted that they designed the ps3 to be hard to use on purpose and only their own devs got all the documentation because they wanted the first party games to be the best looking. It was a retarded idea and cerny has always been a hack. The ps4 and ps5 are all thanks to amd because the consoles use mostly standardised components.
