Its the sweet spot for buyers imo, it'd be daft to set it higher.
Poll: *The Official PlayStation (PS5/PS5 Pro) Thread*
- Thread starter BMox81
- Start date
Are we any closer to having confirmed details the PS5 is backwards compatible with all PS4 games?
Still doesn't seem clear to me as there is conflicting info out there. If it's going to be similar the PS3 debacle again, I'll just but a PS4 Pro now and keep it long term.

Nothing confirmed but it would be idiotic to not have backwards compatibility. Current gen is on x64 architecture so no reason why this couldn't be brought onto the new gen as consoles. New Gen is effectively a smaller gaming PC although, I would expect a phasing out period where they officially retire PS4/PS4 Pro during the life time of PS5 when they have enough adopters and or dev's are focusing on making PS5/Scarlett games only. I would guess that would happen after a couple of years maybe 3 as PS3 was discontinued 2 or 3 years ago.

it hopefully wont look like that, i can just imagine my boy trying to jam bits of Lego into all those vents
The top lines are not really possible to make out bu the next 3 look like network settings, i.e line 4 looks like "IP address". Apparently they are shaped like that so you can stack them and still ensure decent cooling.

They might be built from off the shelf pc components and then fettled to represent PS5 hardware to get the system out to devs ASAP.
Still a year to go so hopefully they will come up with a half decent finish by then. I quite like the look of the Pro hope they do something similar. Just make it a lot quieter.....

On Spawnwaves youtube video they quoted a Twitter post which i guess is a dev that said it shaped like it is so multiple units can be stacked and still get decent cooling, plus they might have made a bit of a reference to the Roman numeral V.
The only devkit that's ever looked anything like it's retail equivalent console is the PS2 Tool one, and even then it was much, much bigger. Realistically, there's no reason for them to look the same because they'd want to keep the final design a secret.
Indeed.

Don't agree with that. Certainly not 3 years ago, some great games within the last 1-2 and more on the way.
forgot to say graphically. HZD was the real highlight graphically for me- nothing has topped that imo.

how long before the ps4 release did we start to see sneak previews / games etc? Was it E3?
They held an event in New York in Feb 2013. So well before E3. I think that was when we first saw Killzone? The game didn't turn out that great but it sure looked pretty. Console design and price came at E3.
