Unpopular opinion, but most devs could probably continue to Support Switch 2 and Ps4 & Pro for the next 8 years.
S2 may have similar GPU/CPU capabilities but the storage is a mile off...
- PS4 hdd speed is around 100mb/s
-
S2 ssd speed is around 2000mb/s and the micro sd express is around 900mb/s
Either way you look at it, S2 outperforms PS4 storage speed by about 10-20x
One of the main issues with supporting older, slower generations is in an online game, literally everyone has to "wait" for the slowest loading person in the que... not even mentioning how it can drastically change how a game is designed.
Yeah. The HDD is one of the biggest bottlenecks for PS4 and Xbox One. And how the consoles accomplished what they did when even the mid-gen refreshes were also held back by Jaguar cores is interesting.
Last gen just won't die.
There are still 10s of millions playing on PS4. Monthly active users on PS5 just surpassed PS4 in the last year.
And they are NEVER going to upgrade until they stop receiving support lol
That isn't happening anytime soon. GTA6 will probably get several million more people to upgrade.
The black hole live services games is what's keeping last gen alive. A buddy of mine says his little brother still plays Apex Legends and Fornite on his PS4. And seeing how monthly active users on PS5 barely surpassed PS4 not too long ago, it's easy to see why devs still support last gen.
PS4 can't die, coz legends don't die lol
This seems strange to me since games like this are starting to drop the gen 8 consoles presumably due to a combination of the player base declining on them and increasing difficulty working with such ancient hardware. I doubt this will add that many new players and with the PS4 coming up on 12 years old I wonder how long they'll bother to support this version.
Why no XBOX ONE version though?
I think the PS4 will break the record for how long a console is still receiving new AA/AAA games. Was an incredible success.
