The current generation of game consoles surprised users with an unexpected episode – the release of intermediate systems that have better performance than the original Playstation 4 and Xbox onereceived on store shelves in 2013. However, in the case of Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X a repetition of such a scenario is unlikely. At least that’s what they think. Albert Penello, formerly Head of Xbox Marketing.
Former manager explains that the only reason PS4 Pro and Xbox one x appeared on the market – this is a race for resolution, namely, gradually capturing the market with screens that display a picture in 4K. Penello convinced that new platforms Sony and Microsoft can avoid a transition period in the area of TVs and monitors preferred by users, respectively, and there will simply be no need for iron improvements.
“It may so happen that there simply will not be any sense in such a transition. 4K resolution is becoming a generally accepted norm both on PCs and on TVs, and [PS4 и Xbox One] created taking into account the image output in 1080p. And in the case when you need to display four times as many pixels, all available performance is used for this purpose. I don’t think that TVs with 8K support will also be able to successfully capture the market, rather, the emphasis will be on [технологии HDR] and frame rate support so that screens can adequately display images with updates above 60 frames per second. The graphics and central processors of the new consoles can easily work with high FPS and a wider color palette.
Therefore, an intermediate upgrade now seems not only financially and technically unprofitable, but also unnecessary in matters of display technologies that the consoles will work with, “Albert Penello explained his position.
Another reason why Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X will not get improvements, believes Penellolies in the fact that manufacturers simply will not be able to significantly improve overall productivity without completely changing the entire form factor and without increasing the production cost in a multiple value.
“It will not be possible to increase the GPU capacities, and at the same time ignore the central processor and memory, otherwise you will come to a reasonable unit, which in turn will entail additional production costs. It is possible that I do not know about all engineering secrets, but now the situation is like this. If you look from the perspective of current realities, then you are unlikely to see transitional variations of new gaming systems, “the former Microsoft manager finished his thought.
Launch Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X due before the end of this year.
