Look at his post history. He is a major griefer and Not worth your time. And thanks for the input by the way. MS has really set themselves apart from Sony in services, as well as hardware, for now at least. We will no doubt be impressed by Sony HW this gen like every gen, but for now, it's clear to celebrate the approach we have seen from MS. Bravo!
So you came into a thread I was participating in to randomly sling mud?
I am prepared for greatest gen ever, but 360/PS3 really did not even hold a candle to this gen, conservative design and all...
I'm pretty sure Matt shared some real optimism about Xbox a month or 2 ago.
MS has their plans and Sony has theirs, from what I've seen so far there is no reason to panic and speed up the reveal plans for PS5. MS has only shown 1 trailer for a new game that is allegedly not in-game, hasn't said much about price nor specs. It was a very weak reveal because it was so hollow other than that and it happened during the TGAs making it feel like a side dish.
Oh my god mate. What a load of fucking hot air. You'll say anything to fit the imaginary narrative in your head. Why are you even arsed. Your living in a bubble.
What? The first iPhone that costed 1000$ didn't have ",much more functionality" than the competition. That's straight up fanboy mentality.
Im not too sure Mobile was the issue with Gen 8, i think Sony just wanted a $400 Console & Microsoft wanted to focus on Kinect & multi-media, this gen is back to normal with using more high end parts, Consoles were never meant to use low/mid range parts at launch, except for Nintendo i suppose.
The anomaly is the early MS reveal without provide detailed specs, not the silence of Sony. For me seems the classic "desperate" way to try to catch the attention at all costs, typical of the Spencer lead, because they are scared when ps5 will be finally revealed, the attention around the X series could be "minor"; but in my opinion it shows more insecurity than smartness.
Slightly off-topic: The team sure is creating really interesting stuff. No complaints in the console space whatsoever. Then you look at how weak the hardware inside the Surface Studio is and you remember that even the best designers do stupid stuff from time to time, sometimes due to corporate pressure, sometimes who knows why... All in all, totally pumped about the Series X (and looking forward to the next Surface Studio)!
It's probably too early to talk specs (and TGA isn't the pace to do that either) and just releasing a spec sheet on their website isn't as good as having a full reveal and talking about it.
Nobody was talking about those articles. People want something impressive, not a few words in a magazine that isn't really all that relevant to gaming anyway. We want a show, fanfare, and all that. The PS5 talks from the wired article didn't last long. Something tangible like the TGA trailer does create more word of mouth.
I'd say they are holding off on as much as they can overall to still pump some excitement into whatever is left to reveal closer to E3.
This is about idle power consumptions, and how they will give the options to disable features in idle mode that will reduce power consumption. Has nothing to do with power consumption under load. Still, great initiative!
The first iPhone didn't cost 1000usd, and that's what we were talking about.
That's assuming the extra size isn't due to whatever their hardware Ray Tracing solution turns out to be. But then with Ray Tracing as a standard feature, that opens up processing power that would otherwise be used for lighting, shadows, reflections, etc as the (first party at least) games will be built from ground up with Ray Tracing as the default as opposed to being shoehorned in after the fact.
Was Sony also desperate talking to WIRED twice without giving detailed specs? On doing a reveal just before E3 when they knew they would not attend?
