Nice one Sony, the competition is officially on

Wonder if MS revealing has either

A. Pushed them into this
B. MS knew something was close and made the first move

Either way, I'm looking forward to this. XSX is a beast in such a tiny form factor, let's hope PS5 can make go just as 'wow' as Xbox did.

They are definitely going to be talking about tech specs and TF, otherwise if it was generic information they could have easily published the info on a news article.

I haven’t done a prediction yet.

PS5
10.9 TF
16 GB GDDR6 @ 512 gbps
1 TB nvme drive @ 3 gbps
52 CUs @ 1650 ghz
Dedicated RT cores producing 300+ billion RT operations.
All RDNA2 features.

$499

Let's fucking go, 1 day 3 hours and we know both consoles' specs.

My take on PS5:

11.6TF, 16GB GDDR6, 5gb/sec SSD.

Now the only thing to be seen, will someone spill the beans before the meeting?

I think maybe they know what Microsoft has and also what they could possibly improve at this late stage (such as maybe RAM?) and they are confident with what they have and feel they can reveal without being beaten. Knowing what Microsoft has they can better position their product, I am sure they will try to capitalise on XBox's current weakness (RAM) and will probably reveal at least 16GB of the same speed ram for GPU and additional for OS. People say that the SSD speed wont be noticeable but i disagree. Sure for loading you wont care much between 5 seconds or 10 seconds but think about streaming large assets for open world games, imagine the next GTA game where you are streaming in large buildings, textures, sounds, animations etc as you are moving through the world quickly, a faster SSD would mean more objects, textures loading in quicker or larger more detailed textures. Would you notice if a texture popped into view in 0.5 seconds or 1 second? that would be noticeable right? or they would have to lower the texture to keep the load times the same.

Report me if I continue to console war
Sony has produced a more powerful console cheaper than Microsoft before with better memory, better design and features......If you need the answer to that, just review 2013.....
Nothing about games......Gears at Ultra with some lighting tweaks that barely looks different from the PC version is not why you are looking forward to the next gen, I've already played Gears 5 at 60fps, it wasn't that great....I'm not buying a new console just to play again with some tweaks at 60fps......MS has not shown a thing, nothing new or exciting in the games department, not even rumors of great things, like you would hear an upcoming Silent hill, Castlevania or new Killzone for PS5......There are no rumors of exciting games for XBOX...

Perhaps you shoul dask Penello about that, he knows a lot about MS not conceding power...….Yet, there would be nothing shocking of Sony coming out ahead of MS in specs and features come reveal....It is what is expected at this point....


NO, GCN is done, well not done...….It's termed CDNA now, it got massive boosts in the new Vega APU chips for laptops etc....And of course dedicated compute performance is going to be through the roof with the upcoming CDNA compute GPU's (non-gaming)…..

GCN was trying to catch two birds with one stone, but the twins were separated and they are now functioning and excelling on their own...…..If you are impressed with the frames Series X can pull out on say Gears 5 vs a 2080ti, it just shows how fast RDNA 2 is...….That's only 52 CU's though.....The 80 CU cards on a much larger chip will be absolute monsters.....Nvidia is trembling right now...All future games will be primarily developed from console/AMD type architecture, having an AMD rig will be to your benefit.


What do they do now? It's not like they have exciting exclusive games to show till launch in November? MS has blown their loads.....Now everybody who wanted the specs so badly, what now? Are you playing it, can you even pre-order one......You will just be twiddling your thumbs in March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October and parts of November...…..That is a long time and lots of other things will inhabit the conversation, like many upcoming GOTY games for 2020...….


That is not correct, it's still a console with a single pipeline, where CPU, GPU, MEM share the bandwidth.....It's all interchangeable and directly related......It's like someone telling you increasing the shadows, texture quality on a RTX game will cause no impact on raw performance.

It's for this reason that I think extremely high and fast memory bandwidth is most important for this console generation especially.....The HBCC wont mitigate against a lack of memory and bandwidth.....You will get less stuttering. lesser loadtimes, less lod issues in games with the faster storage, but nothing replaces fast ram and bandwidth.....The higher the ram and bandwidth for the more ambitious games the better...….I think 10GB Optimal ram is severely limited and you will see it's limits in multiplats and exclusives within the first year of these consoles....

Yes, sony made smart choices and had some good luck with the PS4, they choose gddr5, in which they managed to get 8gb, because if this they did not need esram and therefore had more room for more gpu cus.

Microsoft did their own deep dive on a 12TF console and now Sony just made this announcement.

It's clear they're not scared to reveal their console as others have been alluding to.

This seems like a counter move. Would they reveal a much weaker console a few days after MS' deep dive?

That would be a poor marketing strategy.

I still believe that Sony has a 2 SKU strategy and that the github leak shows the regular PS5.

my prediction:
PS5, 8 - 9 TF, 12 GB RAM, 350 - 400 €

PS5 Pro, 12 - 13 TF, 16 - 18 GB RAM, 499 €

After yesterday’s Xbox reveals Sony knew they had to react. At least 11TF and I’ll be happy. A decent price point too would be nice.

Nah thyll give ballpark numbers I mean thy already talked about SSD and Ray tracing and thy are strategically coming out wuth this after Xbox al reasy me tioned tfs. Expect more info than you think, just not pricing.
Hope youre right. This new gen, next gen is strange from the beginning... dont you have same feeling?

I just hope they at least show parts of "real" games, tech demonstrations are also really good to get specific messages across but real games allow you to see the potential in a real scenario once all effects come into play

Hmmm nah I see it similar to last Gen just Sony waiting it out to see micros hand only difference is Microsoft was also trying to do the same and I guess last Gen thy didnt care so much about that.
 
Wait
Wait what?
It's happening? Ok guys tell me who the FOCK hacked the PlayStation account, because we know it's fake, it's just not possible, c'mon now you want to... tell... me...
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IT'S HAPPENING FUCKING YES
