"leak" 5 years before release is not a leak it's a sensational head line.

#22Even when we will reach the reasonable maximum of transistor shrinking, then GPUs can scale up based on electric power.
If we allocate 1kW for a gaming system, GPUs will be able to scale up a lot more.
That's for theory, then the limiting factor could become the vram unable to feed fast enough the GPU, then we could imagine GPUs with "less vram", but something ultra fast like "only cache memory".
playstation 10?

#23They’re simply saying that Xbox’s promise to keep Activision software on PlayStation “long-term” is likely only going to last for this console generation, and will end around the time of the PS6. This is their attempt at putting the phrase “long-term” into perspective. This isn’t an announcement or leak on the scale of the GTA 6 leak. Just Sony stating the obvious fact that the PS5 will not be their only console for…
That Microsoft is going to abuse its ownership of Activision is a certainty. They've already proclaimed they will only keep certain franchises on PlayStation for several more years after the merger succeeds.
This merger needs to be stopped dead in its tracks. If competition authorities allow this merger they're factually legalizing market abuse.

#24Does anyone find this interesting compared to the smartphone market where Apple and Samsung are pushing out $1k phones _every single year_? You can say it's hard to find a PS5 at MSRP ($499 or $399 if digital) but it's still on a multi year (+5 at least) release cycle. Whereas the current iPhone generation (14) starts at $799 and $999. And next year you get a new one, and the next year another. And prices will increa…
> And next year you get a new one, and the next year another
You can't wear your PS5 to flaunt how rich, current, stylish, trendy you are.
People are happy to shell out money for a status symbols. US practice of contract subsidizing the price of the phone helped it greatly, when even high schoolers could get it.

Why would you get a new one next year?
Apple devices are supported for a long time and are essentially cheaper than most Chinese offerings that cost less than half the price of an iPhone.

Interesting thing is that Battlefield is a 20 year old franchise with about a dozen mainline releases, has sold tens of millions of copies, and has likely generated billions in revenue for EA. It's a wildly successful franchise by any metric other than "compared to Call of Duty".

makes sense to me. your phone is a huge part of you. it’s value is growing. today you might carry a wallet with you. you won’t every day in 5 years. your phone will become your entire source of identity, finances, contact. you have your phone at all times or know where it is. game consoles are nothing like this. just like game consoles you aren’t buying a new phone each year. but they are worth the money

So does PlayStation release all of its IP on Xbox?

Or, you know, you just fund people to jump ship: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respawn_Entertainment The industry as a whole would be a lot better off if platform-studio vertical integration were banned, and strict financing-only co-ops set up as counterweights to EA/Activision accumulation.
So no company that owns a platform should be able to release its own software? Should a platform owner be able to fund a third party studio to produce content? Should the courts force a game maker to support all platforms?

#30Is like taking credit for saying apple leaked the eventual release of iPhone 15, 16 and 17
