Ooh, this is an unexpected surprise, the nice kind of unexpected surprise!
I cannot believe this thread has hit the 50th page in a shy over eight hours...
There's just that something extra special about the PlayStation brand, isn't there?

That doesn't mean much, Microsoft could pay more for same items, manufacturers prob more willing to lower cost with Sony since they do sell twice as many current consoles
Yeah, that would be great too. I think they said they're aiming for their PS5 title to be a graphical benchmark, and we already know they're super technically proficient. Should be great.
You mean like the pro top cover? Granted you can only get to the fan though but it's something. Just pops off.
My launch Pro is near silent also. Only time I've ever heard it was map & title screens until they get patched to lock the framerate
I am eager to see the new Spiderman tech demo, with raytraced water puddles.
I have very little hope we'll get hard numbers for a first presentation but still, it will be nice to learn at last some details.
"system architecture" though, no design will be shown i bet.

My last minute predictions:
- "Most exciting hardware" probably means really amazing new controller features + being able to pop in almost any disc from a past playstation generation. Yeah, the latter sounds like a pipe dream but that would legit make this an "exciting" piece of hardware. People are focusing on power, but I just think that's a given for all next gen hardware at this point.
- I think we'll see, at most, only small amounts of tech demos tomorrow. Maybe not even that. I wouldn't be surprised if they showed us side-by-side Spiderman comparisons.
- I'm doubtful we'd actually see the final box. We'll probably just see numbers on screen and talk about what they mean in terms of performance. Maybe the controller will be shown.
- There might not even talk about OS perks.
- I give it extremely low chance of talking about price. We're not there yet.
Just idle speculation.

Over 100k likes for an announcement of an announcement is kinda hilarious. Really highlights how much people have been blueballed.
"Could" means nothing. A higher BOM doesn't necessarily translate into better specs, but insinuating it doesn't mean much with no concrete backing as to why is ridiculous.
PS fans right now after hearing this news:
disgusting boys club behaviour
Sony definitely has more bargaining power with suppliers than MS with 2x current gen consoles sold. Doesnt mean that will amount to anything though
MS fans got that sweet release in December
PS fans got No Nut '19
While that might be a logical assumption on some of the components (volume discounts are very common) - it's almost certainly not factored into these hypothetical BOM scenarios.
Well, I think people tend to overcomplicate comparisons between machines. They introduce various factors to try to weight each side and apply nuance to a situation that's really much more simple than that.
The fact is there are two consoles we've had for the last four years: X1X and the PS4 Pro. These are the two consoles people are comparing because this is where we are right now. One blows its predecessor out of the water and one was a modest improvement. You can be happy with both, but by virtue of existing the X1X gives a far stronger indication of what we can expect from Microsoft than what we can expect from Sony.
Sony has done very little to answer to Microsoft's hardware advancements this gen — mostly because they didn't have to. But as we move forward, PlayStation will have to answer to things accessibility, infrastructure, and backwards compatibility. I've been very forgiving towards PlayStation this gen under the assumption they would come out swinging with the PS5. If you're going to come late to the party, hopefully you have something to show for it.
Again, I've been a PlayStation fan for a long time. I've never even owned a Microsoft console. But I am waiting to see how my preferred platform makes up for all the things they didn't do this generation. I am hoping the reason there was so little hardware development on the PS4 is because it's coming big on the PS5. I am excited to see that. But I will be disappointed it we don't.
I feel like I've been waiting for tomorrow's news since 2016. So while I'm excited, my expectations are also high.
I hope we see the machine (which I'm confident we will) and it's somewhat more interesting than a boring, black monolith that the Xbox is.
Xbox one BOM was higher than PS4, even when not including kinect. The SoC on xbox one was more expensive because of the ESRAM I believe. BOM is only one side of the story, whoever makes the best design decisions will have the best console, if the two systems are priced the same I mean.
I'd say the opposite is more prevalent.
If all things were the same between the two of them, it would make comparisons quite simple. The thing is, they have entirely different situations from top to bottom in terms of viability, revenue, expectations, and so on and so forth.
I'm ignorant to some of these things, but why are people so doubtful we'll see a box? It seems weird they'd talk straight specs in a video without showing anything physical.
I bet they won't even show off the design but spend 30 minutes talking about ray tracing or whatever
I just don't think any of that matters to me as a consumer. I just care if I can buy the best machine possible. :/
It's not unprecedented that they hold back on box design. They've held back before. More news trickle as the year goes on is good!
I also just think they are looking to get the raw numbers Digital Foundry type material out of the way so when it's time to show games, there is no need to mix in boring numbers. Again, I have nothing to go off except my own intuition.
It's really not. It's clear what that poster was attempting to do.
Nah, pretty funny. You guys are too serious some times. It's a bit extra funny though, that it might be the other way around. We don't know yet.
