You do? Not the first time someone's disagreed to something I've said... Do explain why?
PS4 isn't particularly powerful, not even the new Pro. The CPU is probably the weakest element holding things back but the GPU is also still way behind top end PC cards.
There is no real indication there won't be another console gen.

what I see is sony being interested 100% for their pockets, everything else -especially the 'for the gamers' motos- being basically ads, means to increase profit.
the amount of sony funded games consistently pushed back, the relative lack of big $$ projects, and basically their replacement with the wealth of "cheap" for publishers indie games (and "elevation" of those to AAAkind though ..yes, marketing) etc, even their policies on psn and digital $$, they're all facts that point to one direction, if you care to align them.
so I believe that whatever PD does, it will have to do primaily with it beign an asset for further "ads", than substantiallity.
and siting here, three years in, with nothing but thin air from pd, its a reality that kind of reinforces my thoughts above.

Sony did a pretty good sales and profit with PS4,why do you think that they will not try this with PS5.Also in near future the CPU and GPU will be made in 10/7nm technology, after that will come 2D materials which will make the processors hundreds of times more powerful so there is plenty of room for development.

Could just be a placeholder, but since the GT series turns 20 years old next year that could happen (23rd December 2017 maybe?)

So first we had the BETA (free) that was cancelled to bring out GTS in time (november). With GTS being delayed to an unknown date GTP starts talking about a GTS Prologue.
Why on earth not handing out a simple demo. It surely won't do any more damage than already has been done.

I swear that has to mean "guaranteed delivery by xx/xx/xxxx" They wouldn't delay GTS that far back... would they?I find this on the web, seems like GT Sport will hit the shelves on late dec 2017

Considering the current PS4 struggles to have 1080p 60fps, why would you think that this is the height of console performance?

For that matter, why does anyone think ever that technological progress is just going to stop because people won't be interested?

GT5 was delayed by three years. So it wouldn't be unprecedented by PD's own mediocre delivery standards.

It is not about technological progress, scientists in their laboratories are not bothered by PS4 Pro releasing soon.
It is a fact that with each new gen appearing, the graphical gap will be less and less significative, to the point we are today. The jump from ps1 from ps2 was gigantic. From ps2 to ps3 it was also great because of the introduction of HD, but not as much as PS1 to PS2. Then from PS3 to PS4 it was not significant, really. When you see games like The last of Us, or GT6 (given the right settings, like let's say Nurb at night with a single car on bonnet view of the R32) then you will see that the more real-life-like a game gets, the harder it is to surpass it, because graphical advancement is not limitless. Uncharted 4 for example was a masterpiece, Driveclub too. A PS5 releasing would not do any improvements over the PS4 on the graphical side, as powerfull as the GPU may be. Each new improvement will be very unsignificant to what could be done on the older gen. This, and the release of a "pro" version for both Sony and Microsoft consoles whichbis unprecedent, indicate that new generations of consoles will not be about graphics anymore, which can be done simply by releasing some slightly more powerfull version of the PS4 and that is more reasonable than releasing a "PS5" which would make no significant graphical leap at all, and these releases would still guarantee benefits for Sony. And also going by this route, it could allow for backward compatibility for every games on newer consoles implying the new versions of PS4 will be the exact same architecture with only some more powerfull hardware, and this will allow for older games to still sell well if they are famous, instead of the "ps4 now" and things like that which are obvious waste of resources for Sony. In fact everything will be much easier.
A PS5 may or may not happen, however if it does, it will imho be the last gen of consoles as we know about it ever, if it won't be this one. It will take the route of the same scenario of the "New" 3ds. No exclusive content for the newest console, but only exclusive enhancements allowed by the newest console.
