PS5 Will Launch In Late 2018, Will Be More Than 10 TFLOPs- Analyst
Macquarie Research Analyst Damian Thong has stated that he expects Sony to launch the PlayStation 5 in 2018’s second half. Not just that, he expects it to be a rather powerful system too, with a 10 TFLOPs GPU that would far outstrip any other console on the market- including Microsoft’s Scorpio, which is due for release later this year.
“We see sustained profit growth in Game & Network Services. We forecast OP growth from ¥140bn in FY3/17 to ¥180bn in FY3/18, driven by expanding software sales and profits,” the analyst’s note reads. “A rising digital ratio and a higher mix of first-party titles will help margins – Horizon Zero Dawn, which launched on 28 Feb, looks to have had a good start with a Metacritic score of 88. While we have tempered expectations to account for rivalry with Microsoft/Xbox and PC gaming, we note that the success of PS VR (which has reached 915K units sold) highlights the health of the ecosystem. We expect Sony to launch a >10 TFLOPS ‘PS5’ in 2H18 to secure the installed base.”
Is this something you see happening? Next year seems to be a bit too soon to me- and if nothing else, it would make PlayStation 4 Pro owners really angry. On the other hand, it would be a hell of a way to make the Scorpio obsolete far before it can do any serious damage. What do you think? Let us know in the comments sections.

platyuiMr_RobotDismiss Haha. So they're doing nothing about Scorpio other than waiting a year to try and outdo it. What a weak move from Sony's side.
The ps4 pro is their response.
The ps4 pro was their response to the xbox one slim
The PS4 for useless in my opinion.

TTGn00bs It's crazy if this happens, ps4 feels like it just came out.
I know they have brung out like 3 consoles this year. Just different versions of the PS4.

Except Microsoft announced the scorpio over 2 years ago and we're still waiting on exact details and pricing. The PS4 Pro was a response to the scorpio, albeit not an outstanding response because the scorpio needs to be sold at a large loss if microsoft plans to make it do everything they say it will. Plus this is just market skepticism by researchers and what they expect to see. I wouldn't expect a PS5 until late 2019 or somewhere in 2020.

10 tflops?! Xbox Scorpio is over 6 tflops.
When Xbox releases their next-gen console... do you think they're only going to upgrade it 4 flops? They're probably going to shoot for 14 or 15. And then PS4 will be left in the dust. I'm a PlayStation fan, but this pattern of inadequate leaps is startling. From PlayStation one to PlayStation 2 it was 110 x difference. From PlayStation 2 to Playstation 3 it was 40 x difference. From PlayStation 3 to PlayStation 4 it was 10 x difference. From PlayStation 4 Pro to PlayStation 5 it's only 2.5 x difference. The returns are extremely diminishing here. You might as well just become a software company instead of a hardware company if that's what you're doing.
