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.

This is stupid; way way too early. The sales on this console are going to flop because the Scorpio will be released less than a year before the PS5 and nobody wants to keep buying a different console every year.

Feel like this is slowly turning into a yearly thing, sony and microsoft trying to out do eachother and Maybe losing customers in the process.
Ill stick with my pc that can wipe the floor with both of these consoles.

Rigged I just hope to god they don't call it the Playstation 5. Sounds awful
I agree, PS5 sounds weird though could grow on you.
I would think around 2020 the next console would be out. I also agree a lot of people would be upset after just getting the PS4 Pro. Guess we'll have to wait and see :)
