Analyst Predicts PS5, Next-Gen Xbox Will Offer 4K, 240 FPS, Virtual Reality
 

Outspoken game industry analyst Michael Pachter offered some thoughts on Sony and Microsoft's upcoming consoles this week, theorizing both could be a match for many modern PCs: specifically, he expects the most powerful versions of the PS5 and next-gen Xbox to run games in 4K at "240 FPS" ( Hz? ), with the latter introducing some kind of virtual reality experience akin to PSVR. Pachter also seems confident that neither will get pushed back to 2021, while Marc-Andre Jutras, a veteran of Activision and Ubisoft, suggests both will offer backwards compatibility. "I expect a dumbed down console, like the Steam console, where it's download only, and there's no hard drive or disc drive," Pachter told GamingBolt. "So I think there will be a streaming device, like a $100 Xbox console that doesn't run in 4K or 240 frames per second. And then I think there will be a more expensive $400 console that supports 4K, 240 FPS, virtual reality. I don't know if there will be 'models'. I don't think you're going to get completely different devices."
