Take this with a huge grain of salt. Combo Infinito usually makes a lot of clickbait articles.

Thanks for the info, please let us know if that changes ;)
It's more than Sony showed which is why people want PS5 info.
I think it is not a question of if a SB is the right place for such an announcement to make but I think it is too early to do it because nobody can order or buy the thing. The reason TGAs may have worked is that it was meant for a special audience.
I never said it did, but keep on fighting the good fight.
Ok, thanks.
Yesterdeay I saw a lot of pages and tons of comments about this, and i thought it was something legit.
It was hard to find the original post for an occasional reader.
Time to leave this thread.
Is that allowed?
You should stay and go slightly mad like the rest of us
Ok, you have a pic of the consumer product.
But is there really any official information of that consumer product.
I mean, yes, it is the most powerful xbox ever, that was official announced.
That is all it needs to get silence on the internet?
Maybe sony doesn't want to silence the internet.
I have just accepted the reality that this will most likely not happen today. It allows me to not be so disappointed.
Wait until the Super Bowl, then commence
Who gave you assurances that something was happening today?
I really don't want to get argumentative on this point, so I'll close with this and we can just continue to respectfully disagree.
First I think you may be conflating Develop with Design. You can absolutely design multiple chips for multiple years. That's not a very costly process and happens all the time. In fact, fleshing out multiple chip options to validate some assumptions isn't all that unusual.
To develop two different chips is a much different idea. This means you have parallel teams actually working towards creating multiple designs that are all viable for production. And you are correct, this is technically possible.
The reason it doesn't happen is that you are designing two completely different consoles, and the costs of doing so are going to be absorbed into only one production unit. That means all the costs for BOTH designs are burdened into one design. This could be hundreds of millions of dollars of NRE (depending on how far along you get) that need to be amortized into a single shipping unit.
That's much different than amortizing those costs into two different, shipping units. So the platforms expect that when they sell that unit, they are making the money back on development. That's the difference between seeing these companies creating multiple consoles which all actually ship, vs. having multiple developments and only shipping one. You're talking about throwing millions of dollars in silicon development and absorbing all those losses into a single sku. It's just not financially viable, even though it would technically be possible.
PS5 comes with just a CPU... you have to buy an external GPU for it yourself.
I like this idea. Perhaps we can create a fresh daily command center with a countdown to the end of day. That way everyday we can experience a new level of disappointment.
On a first run, lets say DK1 of the custom APU, how many engineering samples are typically developed? A single wafer's worth? I presume initial testing would be done by AMD. How long does it take to reach Xbox? Or does Xbox just set performance criteria and get back test results from AMD and make decisions on that data? Thanks
It's really a spectacle seeing you all losing your shit over this. There's plenty of time for Sony.
You guys created the narrative that something had to be said today.
If they don't come out and reveal the thing until GDC, fair enough, but up until that point everything is fine.

Every day we stray further from the light and ps meeting . Fucking hell
Albert Penello being back posting takes me back to last gen when I made him the Penello Miracle Elixir avatar, the good sport😂
Last year they got the invites after the teaser was posted on the Twitter
Woa.. didn't know that. My hopes are up again.
edit: For better, or worse.
Sadly guys, this stuff is just too hard to predict. 2020 Sony is not 2013 Sony. Last time, we got first details of PS4 at the meeting, about 10 months before launch. This time, we got first details more than a year before launch, via written articles from Wired. Subsequent details were revealed at E3. This year, Sony is not attending E3.
Basically, it's foolhardy to try and guess/predict what Sony will do.

Yup, unfortunately, I hear you even have to get your own screws. Luckily though sony is selling official PS screws as an ad on peripheral.
I still feel like yesterday was more likely than today if they were running the same playbook as last time.
But the good news for all of you is that me posting this means that the chances of Sony announcing something tonight has just shot up.

do mine too please.. and for my Pro also. I'm scared as hell to crack mine open.
I would love to do that myself, but after what happened with my launch PS4 and PS4 Pro (Faulty PSU for both), I'm too afraid to try anything that voids the warranty.
Well the good news is January is out the way. The bad news is we now have to endure every day in February.
I'm starting to doubt if we even going to get anything in Feb.
