You're gonna want to avoid TLOU2, Death Stranding & Ghosts of Tsushima at the very least. Unless you don't mind double dipping or just playing the PS4 versions on PS5.
Possibly a hybrid, you have both, more frequently used items would be on SSD for quick access, long-term storage on HDD. (?) Say a 1tb or less SSD, than if you want more storage you buy a HDD, if you can use your PS4 HDD that would be a plus.... just move your HDD over from the PS4.

can anyone cross reference pf all the leaks and see what stats line up and which are the most accurate?

That's sort of pointless because even people guessing were saying some of this stuff. It's pretty much the best case scenario guesses that were more or less right.

I don't think that with backwards compatibility there will be remasters/crossgen titles, just a performance patch.
I assume they already tried with that Spider-Man test

Most Sony first party games archived the "no loading times" dream that Cerny is trying since 2014, of course, they use tricks to made that happen like Uncharted that use pre-rendered story cutscenes while the game load the next level... works perfectly.
I can see more tricks already integrated on the SDK to easy use of all devs.

It will be pointless because all leaks until now are "water is wet" scenario so everybody is right.

Surely though games that were made for the PS5, even if they're just ports, are still going to have the upper hand over a patched PS4 version?

I hadn't read the whole article yet so now what I have read sounds insanely exciting! It must have a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 NVMe slot based on that, and I know that has a theroretical bandwidth of 3.94GB/s so that SSD drive they have in that machine should be interesting...

Them dropping this kind of info must mean it's not that far off. They wouldn't risk revealing the SSD stuff if they knew MS might have time to adapt and match it.

I would be over the moon if developers targetted 60fps for their console games, and then did their best with graphical fidelity after that.
The power in the machine is actually kinda besides the point. It's the developer's priorities that matter.

Id still rather own a physical ps5 edition of TLOU2 than a ps4 edition with downloaded ps5 patch. Also, I imagine most games will come with a complete edition which i personally always wait for.

Hopefully thy give us an option like some games this gen tht had 60fps at 900/1080p res or Higher res at 30fps. I can see it being 30fps with Ray tracing on or the option of 4k/60fps with ray tracing off.

Of course. The back compat will just emulate a ps4, nothing will change and I doubt many games will have a ps5 patch just for retro compat. A native game should have more work put into it, better textures, load times. Etc.
Its like old ps4 that were never patched for ps4 pro, just get boost mode. Vs games that have a ps4 pro patch and assets.

We will have both.
You will probably play the TLOU2 PS4 version on PS5 but if you want the best version with 60fps, 4k graphics, etc etc etc you will need to buy the TLOU2 PS5 remastered.
I can see an upgrade plan cheaper for these that already have TLOU2 PS4.
Well interviews happens when the interviewer find a free time in his schedule to meet.

Indeed. Though it's a shame people might feel the need to wait on what will no doubt be some of the best games of 2019/early 2020.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but won't they actually try and boost performance?
Isn't that something the X1X does with BC games. Or am I mistaken?

This gets mentioned every time a new console is rumored.
I remember when we heard the PS2 specs and thought “WOW!! 6.4 GIGAFLOPS! Surely all PS2 games will be 60 FPS.”
Now here we are with a console with 6 teraFLOPS and still not everything is 60 FPS.
These things ain't cheap buddy.People just don't understand that it's not just any SSD. They are usually some form of an M2.SSD or a NVMe drive. The hard drive will look like this.
I highly, highly doubt they'll use an M2 SSD. Probably a regular SSD with some tweaking for better performance.

don't know about that SSD,because they are really expensive and I don't think they want their console to be over 500$,so things can change

PS5 to secretly be a service in which you pay for Mark Cerny to come to your house and smile at you. No console required.
Keep it under wraps

If the PS5 has 24 GBs of RAM, my head will explode.

You come at a ps5 thread for post that and still ask this?
Why not wait for Microsoft to post their next gen info instead of whining about playstation here?

Everything sounds nice.
Backwards compatibility pretty much ensures I'll pick one up eventually. I hope it also means they won't have 2 version of late current gen games, would be nice if there's only one version of games like TLOU2 and Ghosts of Tsushima, and it simply adapts to which console you are running it on.
Now to wait for the actual reveal to see if it's worth it to jump in early. Will depend on the games and other features

Ideally, yes. But sometimes devs "hack" some features into games and this could break compatibility. The perfect retrocompatiblity should aim to be as close to the source system. They could include improvements, but make it optional to lessen to possibility of breaking a game.
That's why X1X's BC isnt system wide, not every x360 game is backwards compatible, there is a list, every game is tested, and even then there are some issues.
Here all points out that ps5 will be fully backwards compatible.
It definitely won't. Most of the gaming population won't be able to afford it if it did.
