Fully not expecting a power differential that puts it in their favor, more so interested in their unique system aspects and games (not getting games most likely) and the price (also not getting this)

It seems like a personal preference more than anything, though. And believe me I understand where you're coming from, I just feel times have changed and the way we consume information has changed. On the contrary, while unorthodox, the way they've revealed information so far has clearly seen extremely high engagement at little to no cost. They've already mentioned that they have noted Apple's product rollout strategy and that alone indicates they are thinking differently than they have in the past.

I would imagine they already had plans to reveal specs at GDC (as they've also indicated) and will plan the blowout conference you're looking for for a bit later in the year. I think you're just being a little impatient. Understandably so, given the circumstances, but the fact remains we won't be able to purchase until November so they have time and the marketing has not even kicked off yet.
I really don't think any of Sony's PR with the PS5 has had "extremely high engagement" Resetera is a huge bubble, there's a reason people mocked this site and GAF as a den of Sony fanboyism for over a decade. Nobody outside of enthusiasts are going to watch this stream, while normal press conferences/reveals actually garner wider audiences. This is especially true for revealing the intial details of the PS5 through a random ass article out of the blue,.

There has been multiple articles on the PS5 and the last one came out in October. The first one in April. What alternate reality is this?

Ahh ok, apologies. It feels like there hasn't been anything significant but that should all change tomorrow.

Can't wait to see what the PS5 is like, finally. On a totally related note, there's gonna be so much fanboy poo flinging around here and everywhere else that I'll have to log out of gaming sites for a week if I don't want a brain aneurysm. Ahh, a new console gen

This is where I stand now; if it's less powerful, it better have PSOne and PS2 games available as downloads for real or else I have no interest. If it's more powerful, I'll buy it for multi platform games.

Wasn't release of current-gen and lead up to it in MS also time when they considered fully shutting down and/or selling off Xbox division?

Yeah I think people spouting the "MS can eat any loss on Xbox hardware" seem to forget that Xbox was on the chopping block in like 2014 or 2015 per Spencer. MS is tired of "eating losses" and that most assuredly informed their shift to software/service model that the rest of the company is pushing. They are putting their might behind GamePass because they think they can push the other two platforms out of the way with competition from an unsustainable model

I do believe the Series X will be more powerful only because Microsoft is obsessed with having the most powerful box, for me as long as the PS5 is close then it doesn't matter, I can barely tell the difference in my Pro and X1X for most games, BC is going to the most important thing for me if they are close. If Sony does what they did with PS4 then I am making the switch to Xbox as my multiplat machine. So bring the heat Cerny!

Yeah, people should chill with the power difference. It will not be like Pro vs X, and even that difference was not always noticeable (on 3rd party games)..

Look for differentiator in services, games distribution and GAMES!

If they have more TF they will 100% brag with it, same with NVME speeds.

If not then most likely they aren't "king".
Considering that the XSX SSD is just bog-standard in terms of speed, they won't have to have done much work to be able to brag. If what they have in there truly is faster than a Samsung 970, they're very much set.

Al I want is for it to be replaceable... And use a standard connector of course

It's finally happening!

excited-cam-and-gloria-modern-family.gif

Haha, this is me. What a week.

I think neither will say it. XSX will have around a 10% more powerful GPU, a slightly more clocked CPU while Sony will have more RAM and a faster SSD. Both will be suck in a situation where they can't claim to be more powerful.

I see your point.If they're close they might refrain from using those kind of statements. But since I think that PS5 will be <10 TF, claiming to be more powerful when you're above 12 TF isn't really a problem.

Just how impressive will Knack 3 look?

I totally forgot, we might actually get to see Knack 3 tomorrow!

A proper reveal without this breadcrumb PR would still generate more buzz.

Let it go. It works for them?

Christ, posts like this are so cringeworthy

Not really. Everything is not serious.

I feel like just by some of the reactions here some people are setting themselves up for disappointment with what they are hoping for.

my theory is that Sony knew that they'd have the more powerful hardware. they've just sat quietly and let MS do what they want. Now we know the exact specs of the XSX it's time for Sony to come in and reveal what they got.

or maybe not :)

PCIE 4.0 is hardly standard stuff for NVME's yet, it's so new in consumer space and provides speed bumps over what is available now.

It most likely is what PS5 "magic sauce" for their NVME is too, PCIE 4.0.

I'm praying for all the insiders that will be proven right or wrong tomorrow.
Yep. Judegment day.

Insiders from 2019 were spot on with Xbox X specs, even though it was considered optimistic if not fantasy back then. So they were right, but im looking at insiders here that said Xbox and PS are the same, with a slight edge to PS5. This was only mentioned here though, where as the Xbox rumor of power was outside of resetera from what i remember.
