PlayStation: Mark Cerny will provide a deep dive into PS5’s system architecture tomorrow at 9am PT

Who is everyone? There are some who believe one or the other.
Some see the MS specs and assume it's a $600 console and Sony won't go that route.
Some think Sony can match those specs at a cheaper price because they'll order parts in greater volumes over the course of the generation.
Some think that Sony can come in as powerful (or more powerful) for cheaper (or the same price) because they manufacture some of the components themselves.
Some think that MS has infinite pockets and will take a ridiculous loss upfront.
Some think that because of how important PlayStation is to Sony vs how important Xbox is to MS that Sony will take a greater up front loss.
Some think that Sony has better engineers full stop.
Some think that MS has come into their own hardware wise just as Sony has done well with software now (APIs, OS, tools, etc).
Some believe GitHub, some think it's not indicative of final hardware.
Finally a lot of us believe in the multiple trustworthy insiders that say the two consoles are very close in power with some of them outright saying that PS5 has the advantage. There isn't a consensus, but a lot of vocal minorities that fall into those various groups.
I will be quite surprised if this stream tomorrow is literally just them dropping the raw GDC talk and that's it. It's possible, and it seems like most people are expecting that, but I will be surprised if it's not bookended with some content aimed at the (enthusiast) consumers.
We'll see soon enough.

we don't know if there will be a stream.
Could be another article, Sony love those.
Kind of unlikely to cancel something that's already built.
The way things are going, it wouldn't surprise me if these two new consoles get a massive delay with the current situation.
I have a feeling this proprietary SSD thing is more than hype. DF made a big deal of the advantages it can bring to game development in their Xbox reveal and how it's a multiplier for other components. If that's true (and that's Microsofts narrative) then what does it mean if the Playstations SSD is twice as fast as has been rumored? Might bring some special benefits and change the future of gaming the way the HDD in the OG Xbox did.
I'm predicting that each console will have advantages depending on the game design. I suspect Sonys devs will push to do things in open worlds....less doable on Xbox. In games with traditional game design, Xbox will have advantages.
That said, in the end, it will come down to content and price. Masses didn't give 2 shits that OG Xbox could do things PS2 couldn't. The Switch is killing it with high res Game Cube games and Indies.
I'm most interested in seeing how Sony and Microsoft competed to make life easier and better for devs.

Why not both!? Get in the hot bath with a toaster oven near!
I think we get some next gen gameplay if PS5 is less powerful than Xbox Series X, otherwise they just let the specs speak for themself.
I'm going with Billy Kahn from ID saying the PS5 is 'awesome'.

Hmmm, I think that's mostly right. The poster originally meant to write that he/she was going to watch Cerny's presentation on the "tube" (TV?), but it came out as "tub" typo. And the rest is history, as they say. 😂 🛀

He also said xsx is awesome too.
I've been so impressed with the design, both physically and architecturally of the Xbox Series X. But, with my gaming habits being focused on PC first and PS4 for exclusives, I can't help but feel more excited and anxious to learn more about the PS5 because, in my position, it seems like it's something I inevitably have to buy, whereas my PC covers me for the Xbox games, and even though just looking at it makes me want one so bad, it's not practical for me to do so, like the PS5 would be.
Why in the world would you want to eliminate an affordable option for more gamers to enter into the next gen? This makes no sense.
Me, too. My American/Japanese game collection from ps1-ps4 all playable on one console would be so incredible for me. I'd love to save some space and get rid of my American and Japanese PS2s, US PS3, and JP PS4 (not that region matters for the last two).
Sometimes I fear that I enjoy watching console wars far more than actually playing the games :(
You know.. the sad part will be even if they announce TF as 11.1..etc and the rest of the spec's are better than MS, people will cry rivers of salt..
you can't win the TF wars...
you can't win the TF wars...
And did anything I posted imply it wasn't?
We're about to get 2 absolutely monstrous consoles, REJOICE!
