Probably going to be getting both. I'll also probably get the cheaper console first and wait for a sale/price drop on the more expensive one.
Yeah, I am kinda feeling that in real terms the advantage won't be so noticeable. Still, Sony so far has the edge when it comes to exclusives, and I guess that the console will be cheaper, so I'd still bet on them to be the market leader.
My prediction almost came true. Sony has actually done better than expected.
Would've preferred more parity. The only upper hand the PS5 has over XSX is with the SSD speed, but given every gaming comparison I've ever seen between SATA3 SSDs and NVMEs, where the difference is an order of magnitude, I imagine the difference will be negligible.
And why is even the CPU slower? I guess it's because they cranked the fuck up out of the GPU, and need to get the thermals into an acceptable level in some other way. Honestly that GPU speed is mighty worrying given how Sony has managed thermal and noise levels in the past.

$299 you mean
This is Microsoft's revenge after their humiliation this gen
I'm not so sure. They are too close power wise and that SSD won't come cheap. Remember that Xbox One was a lot weaker (in comparison) and had the same price.
Did Cerny say how much of the RAM would be available for Developers? how much for UI/tasks etc? like 13/3 , 12/4
I'm happy with the specs tbh. Love the speedy ssd though. Can't wait to see how the wordwide studios will use it in ways other devs simply can't because it has to work on xbox/pc.
But so far sonys bc game feels pretty weak... So i'm looking worward to play superior bc games on my series X. MS did a fantastic job with the X and Series X.
I'm already happy with 4.2 tf games on my Pro. 9.2-10.2 tf ps5 games will melt my eyes.
Can't wait.

Sounds great! Xbox has a good chunk more power, but with games targeting 4K that leaves a ton of room for lower/dynamic res, to say nothing of "performance modes." I'll take a solid 1080p60 in most games over 4K, and we'll probably see a lot of 1080p-1440p games with RT in next-gen anyway.
36 CU is low enough to make me think they're pricing this at $399. That saves them a decent chunk of money.
I was hoping for at least 11tf but the SSD speed is pretty crazy and I'm happy Sony learned their lesson with proprietary storage.
I'm curious to see how benchmarks between the two consoles will look.

I've had this in mind for a while now (and I'm far from the only one), but SSD speed influences game design and we're yet to see the way it's integrated into the experience. Regardless, it's a game changer.
"Slightly faster", well I'm expecting next to zero load times from this thing, whereas the demo that Microsoft showed a couple of days ago had a current-gen game loading in 8 seconds which I would imagine adds up.
XSX is brute force powerful?
PS5 is smartly optimised powerful?
I never doubted the Cerny, and 5.5GB/s SSD is the cherry on top.
How'd you come to that conclusion? Did you miss the presentation? You clearly did. The PS5's frequency speeds are so insane that the teraflops talk is now embarrassing. PS5 is going to be more "powerful" in the long run.
In the overall the Xbox is absolutely more powerful. The faster SSD won't change that on its own. It will allow it to do different things though.
Yeah, pretty much this. The machine for third party games looks like its far and away the X. Exclusives on the ps5 will no doubt be awesome and look amazing, sure. But if these are priced the same and if I have to pick one to get first, its looking like the X at least for now.
I think long term the SSD is going to be a huge win with sony first party games taking advantage of the speed.
I'm also super happy that 3rd party drives will be an option as that is a huge deal to me.

Im getting 2013 flashbacks. I think both systems are gonna be great. I had an xbox one for the first two years of this generation before i got a ps4 to compliment it, and while some games i played on the xbone had a lower resolution, they by no means were horrible versions of those games. All this means is you might get a game running at 1800p or a variable resolution rather than the series x's full 4k. It wont be much different than the current difference in performance you
See in ps4 pro games compared to the xbox
One x. Im personally getting a series x first, but it sounds like you cant go wrong with either box! Though i do wish they offered more than just the "top 100 ps4 games" for bc. Thats a little dissapointing.

I guess that is true lol, it feels like its been so damn long for 2 generations to pass by
Either way though, it seems arrogant sony is back. How can you just ignore at LEAST the PS1 and PS2 catalog like that. Come on.....and not even all PS4 titles work, yet somehow Microsoft has no issue clearly with some titles even being enhanced by the better hardware.
Something tells me you are going to have to buy cyberpunk twice too for the Sony consoles.
Let's be realistic though. They'll be the market leader because the Xbox is a non-starter in most of the world outside America and parts of Europe.
They have the power and the small optimizations.
If the differences between the consoles lead to multiplatform games having a noticibly better performance on the XsX....
I always assumed Xbox would be the more powerful console this generation, but I wonder if people are getting too caught up in comparing raw numbers? I don't know. If the PS5 I'd deigned smartly it can have fewer bottlenecks or real world performance that exceeds the basic conception of what the raw numbers would hypothetically produce and similarly or more basic system with more raw power might not be as efficient. As a non-tech guy I understand that concept but I don't know if it's pure PR spin for lower raw numbers or what.
You'd have to go over the 10GB limit to spill into the slower RAM, and even that is no slouch. the Xbox RAM solution should be consistently faster for most purposes.
Lol. Are people even serious? These are dream specs for anything less than $1000. A few weeks ago we weren't even sure about RDNA 2 and last year thought 10TF is a wet dream. Also the important thing which is the SSD is insane.
i think whats missing here is
If the XSX is producing waste and bottlenecks (if thats even the case when comparing the two) when would you notice if at all unless there are games pushing both systems to their absolute max?
Even then developers aren't gonna let the games run shitty on either system once they are out in the wild
Bottom line is. Both systems raised the standard development bar by a huge margin

This wont happen unless the XSX is targeting unattainably higher settings and res or a dev messed up. XSX GPU is just better, full stop.
Just like this gen with ps4pro and x1x. If a game is performing worse on x1x I think a developer has all the wrong prioritise or some Software Problem they need to work around.
Also I just want to shutdown any discussion of 'Brute forcing' regarding any Hardware. Sometimes things are just better. Like the RTX 2080 is better than the 2060S
Like I said earlier, there's nothing here that should lead to a difference of more than $50. Nothing at all.
Probably $449 vs $499.
That SSD sounds like next gen stuff. Probably faster than consumer pcie 4.0 SSDs available at the moment?
First party will be fine probably, third-party will catch up eventually. Series X will always have the performance edge though.
Now I also want to know about the difference in ray tracing capability. It didn't seem to be a focus for Sony.
So it will on average be even weaker than Xbox than previously thought?
I'm not talking necessarily about split memory pools, but I understand the confusion. I'm talking about a console architecture that expects developers to have a paradigm shift. It's a new console generation, so I personally would expect fundamental shifts in game development, I'm just commenting on reversal.
