Going from PS3 to PS4 was different because the PS3 used a unique cell processor. The PS4 and Xbox One are just x86 machines. The PS5 and Xbox Series S/X are x86 machines. So the same games can run on both just with with different graphical settings. So this "generation" there's no real reason to leave the already established install bases behind. This also means that BC should be baked in going forward. So the PS6 should be able to play PS4 and PS5 games, etc. There is this perception that supporting the older consoles will hold back the new games. I don't think that's true. It's not true in PC gaming. You just adjust your settings in the game based on your rig. This should be a win for the gamer because no matter what platform you are on you can play the latest games, at least for a while. I suspect big first party games will release on both PS5 and PS4 for a long time. Same goes for Xbox. So hooray for x86 architecture! The consoles have finally caught up to PC gaming. Scalability for the win!</p></blockquote><p></p>
