2020 is more and more of a suspicious year…

During the announcement of Google Stadia, we heard that – at the moment – it will have 10.7 TFLOPS of computing performance (PlayStation 4 Pro: kb. 4,12 TFLOPS, Xbox One X: 6 TFLOPS), and amongst the PR talk, they also said that the streaming platform will be stronger than the current consoles… but nothing was said about the next generation.

Jason Schreier, who writes for Kotaku, wrote an interesting post on the ResetEra forums, worth considering: „Look, as I’ve been saying since roughly March 2018 (in this very thread), next-gen is coming in 2020. That Semiaccurate article saying 2018 (lol) got people’s hopes up for 2019, but by now I hope it’s clear that the PS5 ain’t coming out this fall. And, despite all the rumours about devkits being out (usually from rumormongers who are wrong more often than not), the number of people briefed on next-gen is still very limited. Even within companies like, say, DICE, there’ll be a small team of engineers who now have a rough idea of specs, and everyone else will know when they need to know. Not a lot of devs are disclosed on next-gen right now. In other words, don’t expect much in the way of substantial leakage just yet. The only thing to know for sure is that both Sony and Microsoft are aiming higher than that “10.7 teraflops” number that Google threw out last week. (And, as has been reported, Microsoft’s got a few things in the works.)”

We got another confirmation about how the next generation might start next year, and the PlayStation 5 (unofficial name), as well as the Xbox Scarlett (insider codename),  will try to have more performance than the Google Stadia. However, Google said before that its data centres will gain more power over time…

It means Sony and Microsoft both consider Google Stadia as competition.
