The PlayStation 5 could come out in 2018 and develop a phenomenal power of 10 teraflops. This is in any case what the analysts of the market of the video game claim in number, whereas the Xbox One Scorpio with 6 teraflops is about to be presented this year. However, these remarks must be put into perspective.
1*
The market for video games has seen many twists and turns in recent years, and for good reason: the PS4 Pro came out late last year, creating a new type of update for the consoles, while we know the arrival of The Nintendo Switch on the market these days.
A final console is still awaited: the famous Xbox One Scorpio that we will officially discover at the E3 this year and which boasts to develop 6 teraflops of raw power. Also, the rumors around a possible PS5 point the tip of their noses.
A Playstation scheduled for 2018 with incredible power
As reported by Papergeek, and reported by many other sites, analyst Damian Thong of Macquarie said:
"While we have moderate expectations about the rivalry between Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox and PC gaming, we note that the success of the Playstation VR underscores the health of the ecosystem. We expect from Sony to launch a "PS5" > 10TFLOPS in the second half of 2018 to secure its base."
This statement serves primarily as evidence that analysts are not necessarily very aware of how the industry operates. Indeed, although the PS4 Pro is marked the desire of Sony to propose incremental updates of its consoles, it is more than impossible that a PS5 to 10 teraflops arrives in 2018.
The reason is very simple: a Nvidia Titan X Pascal, which develops 11 teraflops, sells around 1200 € on the market. This gives you an idea of the kind of price that this prospective 2015 PS5 should display to exist. In short, this idea is just ridiculous, and it will be swept with one hand with a smirk.
