- klee already came and revealed that nothing has changed after Phil revealed 12 tflops. this was almost a month ago. he had previously stated that the ps5 has more tflops. He had been harassed and mocked relentlessly for saying both the Xbox and PS5 would be in double digit tflops.
- Jason also said hes hearing that both consoles are more powerful than the rtx 2080. 9.2 tflops oberon would be less powerful than the 2070.
- Colin and Reiner were told that PS5 is more powerful by devs.
- Jason came back and reconfirmed that devs were targeting more than 10.7 tflops after the Series X reveal
- WCCFTECH Navi leaker. the only one who got Navi almost a 100% right said the PS5 is using a bigger navi than a 40 CU over a year ago. He said the same about the Xbox.
- Sony's CEO said that they wont get complacent.
- After the first wired article, all MS insiders went out there and claimed that the Xbox was more powerful. As if they all had the same info. They were a hundred percent sure. After the 12 tflops leak, no one made repeated that claim. Not Windows Central or Brad Sams or Tom Warren. I wouldnt be surprised if all these xbox insiders had this github info months before everyone else. They were surprisingly sure of the PS5 being 8-9 tflops with no hardware rt despite Cerny confirming multiple times. Because the github leaks didnt mention rt for Oberon.
- Why would Sony allow themselves to get outmatched on both price and power? They lose the casuals to a $299 lockhart and the hardcore to a $499 series x.
- Why would Sony invest in a dedicated 3d audio chip, the fastest ssd known to man, ray tracing, zen 2 cpu and then gimp the gpu?
There is definitely a chance that Sony fucked up. They became arrogant with the PS3. Nintendo followed them with a shitty Wii U and MS followed their success by throwing it all away with the X1. So yes, it's possible, but highly unlikely. Sony would have to fuck up in a way no console manufacturer has fucked up before. and thats not happening. Let's not forget, on paper, the ps3 was the more powerful console. so even their fuck up was a $850 monster. they did not cheap out.
