The end of Playstation 3 support.

I would imagine PS4 support won't be dropped for quite some time, as they were be cutting out like half their sub base. Cause I'm sure there plenty of console players.

Won't be dropped till PS5 has been out for a couple of years. Maybe 2021 when 6.0 is releasing.

They're never going to totally abandon the console userbase. They'll just keep moving the game to the newest one to keep up with PC.

If there is a ps5. Sony and Microsoft are talking about taking consoles into the pc realm of allowing upgrades of individual components rather than whole new consoles. PS4 may literally be the last playstation as console players now them.

I doubt it. There's no reason for consoles to exist then. The point of a console is a convenient system to play games. You don't have to worry about your console not being able to handle certain games or having to upgrade parts of it.

You can doubt it but the executives that handle consoles for Sony and Microsoft both have come out and said the "next gen" model no longer works and they are looking to upgradable machines rather than brand new ones every few years.

They are not talking about moving consoles to the PC realm of upgrades, what they are talking about is to move consoles to the smartphone realm, where you get smaller but quicker refresh cycles that don't destroy backwards compatibility by reinventing the entire architecture. Full new device you may trade in or sell to get the new one, but no component upgrades.

EXACTLY the kind of thing the PS4 Pro and XBO Scorpio offer.
