I would not buy a PS5 Pro because I will only buy a console that has the benefit of a brand new architecture in addition to TFs.

I consider it a waste to buy a mid gen upgrade unless you are rich.

I'm very concerned though that the PS6 may not have physical media. If it does not, then I'll have to abandon this interest of mine forever.
This next gen is most likely going to be the last with Completely playable games on physical media.
 
Good thing Sony has those Instagram likes while Microsoft has the headlines on gaming websites every two weeks... Just because you have a lot of followers on social media that just like stuff doesn't mean you are doing well with the actual gamers that read articles and follow this closely. Because it's us the actual gamers that follow this together with the gaming media that give an indication to the casuals what to buy. And if Microsoft slowly changes the opinion of the gamers week by week it does way more than a logo reveal that casual gamers like.
This is the biggest load of horseshit I've read on this forum this far.

Forum goers of any device or item in any market absolutely do not dictate in any way shape or form the pruchase decisions of the average Joe on the street.

If a logo generated twice as much as an actual console reveal then it's a win for the logo. No matter how you wanna slice it. PS4 base is double the size of Nintendo and MS combined so if a simple logo generating more interest than the new Xbox shows that there is more interest in news regarding the PS5 from enthusiasts and casuals alike.

Would bet money the actual PS5 reveal would once again generate more social media buzz than anything Xbox can come up with.

Sure, agree to disagree. Because I absolutely believe that the real gamers and gaming media dictates which system will sell.

The Xbox Elite 2 already has wireless charging. Charging docks are nothing new or game changing. Maybe for PS4?
The real difference and the actual novelty would be (if it is true at all) wireless charging of the standard controller and the possibility to charge it directly via the console. This is comparable to Samsung and co which offered the option of wirelessly charging their wireless headphones directly on the smartphone. Of course you can also simply get a wireless charging box, but that would be much more practical.

PS: It is strange to take a premium controller as a comparison. Then I could also argue that the $ 1000 Samsung has had the fingerprint sensor on the display for a year now when it gets a $ 300 phone this year and say "that's nothing new".

Your bias isn’t showing? You, HGamer And Gamernyc78 are totally the the spitting image of PS fanboys.

Sure I’ve got a bias for Xbox, but unlike you I’ll happily buy a PS5 if the specs are better whereas you won’t buy an XSX if it’s specs are better.

Is it a crime to believe the only factual leak over the fever dreams spewed by pseudo insiders? Get a grip on reality.
Facts > Fantasy

Here's a grip of reality based on FACTS since you seem to love it so much:

  • I own an XBOX ONE, it's the machine where I play the most due to gamepass and also because I can't stand the noise of my PS4 in some games (RDR2 i.e)
  • These so called pseudo insiders - like you love to call them - have not been wrong many times in the last few years and they've been consistently been proven right in the last few months
  • The github leak is real but it misses CONTEXT aka plans change in 2017-2018
  • I already said here that I will buy XSX if the difference between it and PS5 is HUGE
  • I already said here I have preference for PLAYSTATION consoles because:
  1. PSX was my favorite childhood console
  2. I live in PLAYSTATION and NINTENDO land AKA Europe
  3. XBOX support/marketing/promotions here in my country are GARBAGE and it will continue to be for many years because MS doesn't give a fuck about it
  4. I prefer SONY exclusives because they're BETTER - I know I know, everyone has their opinion

Now that you got yourself a nice dose of reality, maybe you can stop going full fanboy and start being less annoying. Have a good day.

I'm half asleep, and have the idea my mate is pulling my leg because I haven't read any of the following first hand, but haven't got the energy to counterpoint it right now.

Can anyone tell me:

Is it true that Sony's and launch date could be affected by Corona Virus in China, but not MS because they're building XBSX in Korea?

Is it true that Sony are having issues with supply line, with Samsung eating up RAM memory orders for their smartphones, but not MS because they're using Samsung for XBSX's memory?

Is Sony using Huawei for it's SSD's, and could therefore run into issues selling PS5 in USA given Trump's ban?

All bs if Sony's is affected so will Microsofts. These ppl use same factories. Some split in diff areas China, Korea, Japan either way all these areas are being affected by Corona at one capacity or another and Korea is getting up there with lock downs.

This is proven false by xbox despite all the negative press. xbox one and ps4 sales were very pretty competitive in the US. it was crushed in europe and the rest of the world, where playstation is just a extremely popular brand.
In the Xbox 360/PS3 era, Xbox would have way more sales in the US. They were the monthly leader for more than 30 months in a row. In the UK they were also bigger than Playstation I think. After their amazingly bad "tv tv tv, kinect, crappy DRM, fuck customers, $500" presentation, together with PS4 being more powerful they had a lot of bad press, and a lot more gamers switching to Playstation (coming from X360). Hence Sony's sales were so good, and Microsoft's sales went down by 40%.

At least tag me and Gamernyc78 Gamernyc78 you chicken 😂😂😂

And I’m not really a Sony fanboy, maybe I’m leaning towards PlayStation, yes but at the same time, I am objective when it comes to this stuff, I just subscribed to Xbox Game Pass 6 months just to continue playing Gears 5 and Forza Horizon 4 (love those games so much ❤️❤️❤️), and I’m so impressed with the Xbox Series X specs, it DESTROYS my PC in everything!!

We are getting Ryzen 3700X + RTX 2080/2080Ti almost performance with a super fast NVMe SSD in the XSX and PS5, it will be a huge generational leap!

But my problem is with the Xbox fanboys lately spreading lies and misinformation by showing their bias and saying PS5 will be 9.2 TF “because GitHub” even though there are many other information and some journalists saying otherwise.

It really baffles me when I see Xbox fanboys WISHING PS5 to have a 9.2 TF RDNA 1 while XSX have 12 TF RDNA 2 even though it will only make base games from a 3rd party standpoint look worse overall, because we all know the PS5 will be where all the developers will focus on and build their games towards that system’s specifications, let’s say it really is 9.2 TF, then you’ll see XSX having better shadows and a bit higher resolution.

BUT IF both consoles are 12 TF RDNA 2 then you’ll see games looking better overall than seeing one with 9.2 TF (market dominant) and the other being 12 TF (the one where developers do not really focus on as much as the market dominant).

Think before you talk, Xbox zealots. 😅😅

Guys and girls, I just had a thought run through my head while reading some Youtube comments. Don't kill me for this, yes it was Youtube comments but this one in particular made me consider something I haven't really considered up to now.

We know for a fact Sony is using hardware-based emulation for backwards-compatibilty, correct? As that's what they did with PS4 compatibility on PS4 Pro, and are therefore likely doing with PS4 and PS4 Pro compatibility on PS5. Now we also know that both PS4 and PS4 Pro are GCN architecture machines, with Pro being a more advanced generation (I think it's GCN 3 IIRC).

And we also know that RDNA features both Navi and GCN architectural features, whereas RDNA2 is fully Navi, correct? So......

Wouldn't this more or less solidify PS5 is definitely using RDNA1? And whatever RDNA2 features it is using, like VRS and VRR, have been custom-added to the chip? While it's maybe possible they are using RDNA2 and customized the chip with GCN microcode and architecture features to ensure compatibility, I don't know how realistic this would actually be given the timing of PS5 silicon spinning up, plus if PS4 and PS4 Pro compatibility is as important to Sony as it seems to be, they probably would want to make the engineering side of things both simpler and more readily reliable by making the foundation RDNA1 while pulling in as many RDNA2 features from the roadmap as possible and as needed.

OTOH we know MS has decided with software-based backwards compatibility, which requires a bit more hardware overhead, but also means they don't have to rely on the presence of GCN architecture on the chip since they can emulate that in software. That would explain why XSX is using RDNA2.

This is just a thought I had; nothing more. Does anyone know if RDNA2 can emulate GCN microcode at the hardware level even if it doesn't have GCN architectural features at its root? I'd be very interested in knowing because if the answer is no, then I don't see how Sony could've gone with RDNA2 fully over RDNA1. And I think there's still a small chance XSX might be using RDNA2 but on the RDNA1 process, but they wouldn't have a need for the GCN features on the chip like Sony would. IIRC, either Sony or MS could be implementing RDNA2 features as a standard of architectural features even on 7nm process instead of 7nm+, so I still think it's possible that's what MS's done and it's very probable that's what Sony is doing, too.

Just watch how E3 as well might get canceled. Seems to be a year of digital events.

Unfortunately you might be right. Man, this decade's off to a bad start >(

I’m not gonna lie, back in t’day of the 360,
I knew two people with a ps3. Everybody else i knew had a 360. Everybody always called it the “xbox” when on about gaming, even if it wasn’t an Xbox lol, kind of like how it used to be the nintendo. Around here in my tiny little bubble, 360 was the utter king, and nobody bothered with ps3. That was due to multiplayer being far better, and things like COD and FIFA being the most played things. The PS3 version just didn’t cut it.

That all changed this gen obviously. But back then... Things were VERY different.

Remember? Pepperidge Farm Remembers.

You could read this for XSX all the time when Specer said it's 2x One X and other stuff.

PS5 is 12tf+ Navi while XSX is 12 GCN.
Even now u can read, that Specer is wrong and it's not 12 RDNA 2 tf

It will never change

I gotta agree with Gudji Gudji on one thing, as a uk guy, I see playstation adverts all the time. YouTube, tv, radio, cinema, sides of buses etc

But Xbox I’ve seen like one advert, this entire generation.

Its just not good enough.

I think part of the problem for me is that even when there is local advertising or communication it remains very American in style and presentation. Stuff like Xbox On with UK presenters still manages to feel very American. That's not a pop at that style as such, but more that they don't seem to understand different markets need different approaches. Compare to something like PlayStation Access which is UK based and very British in style too.

The shining light in all of MS's PR is the GamePass Twitter feed though. The person who runs that is fantastic. 😁

A real 4K machine, which not even XBO X is because not all games run at 4K. :)

No worries, I'll be one of the first to call you out on your bullshit when specs for PS5 are released.
Man, you’re one pathetic little boy. Call me out on bullshit what? Speculations? You’re seriously going to call someone out on differing opinions if your Fanboy shit gives you a stiffy in the future? Lmfao, don’t you spam up the forum by doing that already while gagging on that fat 12TF with tears and eyeliner running down your face in the meantime?

Jesus man, your Avatar is Phil Spencer. You’re a special kind of cringe.

Quit poking at each other, then escalating the antagonism.

Let's get back to a more civil discourse in here.
 
Here's a grip of reality based on FACTS since you seem to love it so much:

  • I own an XBOX ONE, it's the machine where I play the most due to gamepass and also because I can't stand the noise of my PS4 in some games (RDR2 i.e)

  • The github leak is real but it misses CONTEXT aka plans change in 2017-2018
  • I already said here that I will buy XSX if the difference between it and PS5 is HUGE
  • I already said here I have preference for PLAYSTATION consoles because:

  4. I prefer SONY exclusives because they're BETTER - I know I know, everyone has their opinion

Now that you got yourself a nice dose of reality, maybe you can stop going full fanboy and start being less annoying. Have a good day.
Anyway Jason S. confirming over 2080 level for PS5 is more than enough, that man is not a two pennies insider, denying that is fantasy > facts.

It's just a shame Tommy Fisher Tommy Fisher said 13 tfs + long before BGs started posting in the thread. Else you might have been correct with your bill mess.

Not liking what the guy is saying is not a valid excuse to chat shit. Some of us have been here longer than 2 weeks...

It's not just him, it's Matt too, he was the one that said "I'm glad we're past thinking the github leak is confirmation of anything". He knows the specs, facts.

Sure, but two identical truths are the same truth. One credible, veteran insider just ends the discussion, especially considering he was right on SeX. What a surprise.

Now that you got yourself a nice dose of reality, maybe you can stop going full fanboy and start being less annoying. Have a good day.

Let me get this straight:

-You own an Xbox because you cannot stand the noise of your shitty PS4

-Guesses can sometimes be right, especially as they gradually change and are adjusted over time to fit the current narrative of the week.

-The Github leak is NOW real to you, but the context stayed the same for Xbox but magically must have changed for PS5

-You’ll buy an XSX if the difference is YUUUUUUUUUGE. In other words it will be “good enough” no matter what and not huge since you refused to give a number.

-You live in Europe where PS is more popular. Ok? What’s your point? That’s like saying that Xbox is inferior regardless of specs just because you live Japan. These consoles are region free, but you’re saying that no matter what you’re going to choose PS because your country digs it. That’s fine, but once again I didn’t think you’d stray from your Japanese console lovin’ nationalistic views.

-The truth is that probably nobody gives a rats arse about wherever you’re from in Europe except your own people. Sony doesn’t literally actually love you, I’m sorry. Brands are brands.

-You “PREFER SONY EXCLUSIVES BECAUSE THEY’RE BETTER!11122”!
Better? your opinion is better? Solid argument, kudos.


Do you have one single valid argument? Troll on, fanboy. This is heavily a Pro-PS forum so I’m not surprised, but your strength in forum fanboy numbers can’t change facts or reality no matter what.

I’ll finish you off with your own words and advice:
“Now that you got yourself a nice dose of reality, maybe you can stop going full fanboy and start being less annoying. Have a good day.”

How easily people forget what the game "journalists" were doing in 2013. They pander who gives them their ad impression traffic. In 2013 all of the big game journalists were pushing the Xbox One and pandering to that base because at the time the 360 was their chosen messiah. Seven years later and it's the PS4, so grifters like Jason are going to continue to pander to the group that will give him the highest number of clicks on his articles, and right now that's Sony fans.

this is why sometimes i love nintendo fans more than sony or ms or even pc fans

all you guys bickering is raw power number, fps, resolution...some of these fanboy even had pleasure looking down on others wherever there chances arise

i rather watching nintendo fans bickering about pokemon games than always whinning about tf number, fps, and native resolution

I suggest you watch the youtube video where it goes over the last gen rumors in 2012 and 2013 to see who got it right and jason with kotaku was consistently correct . Dont create alternative realities man .

He just said they are close in power, pandering my ass. Jason had proven right many times, Anthem 2.0 is another thing. He's more legit with recent informations than an old leak with no context.
