The same exact argument could be made that Lockhart impacts XSX sales, which it most likely would.
Pretty doubtful there. More likely it's related to disabling cores/dynamic clock speeds. However, there was that one time when they placed the PS2 emotion engine inside the PS3 for BC. It's the reason one of the PS3 SKUs cost so much at launch. It'd just be too expensive.
IMO 2-3 weeks makes a difference for the folks that want to play next-gen NBA 2K/Madden 21/COD right-now and will just get the console that releases earlier. The ones that don't have a preference between Xbox and PS
Huh? No one has verified Tom Warren, Klobrille or hmqgg's information before they post it. They just post it. No one is keeping you from discussing anything these people have said. They all post and contribute here.
Well, theoretically between the two MS would prefer to sell the SX, but in general yeah.
As most AAA games will be cross-gen the first year or 2, the main competitor of Lockhart may be the PS4 / Pro.
I've said it before, either position is ideal for Sony. I think they can make either situation work.
I mean I want to believe that things are better over at the Xbox division, but things like this raise my eyebrows. And just for more perspective, people are up in arms saying that there's no way Sony in reality would be taping out APUs that they never planned on manufacturing, but over in actual reality Microsoft is most likely abandoning a 2 year old console.
The lower tier box will most likely be sold at or near cost. IMO they would prefer not to cannibalize the XSX premium box, and I think they may not ship Lockhart at launch for this very reason.
Hmm, not exactly sure what you mean by "vision for the launch." Can you elaborate?
It won't be $499 forever. Early adopters would frankly pay more if the tech is there. All this worry for nothing IMO.
You wanna know what reality looks like?
Since Sony already has the largest player base by far; I'd say price will matter very little to the PS5's success, assuming it's not over $500.
I find extremely hard to believe that Sony is looking into buying a publisher.
4k 60 fps and ray tracing you understand is not possible right? Or will be a ridiculous low rt.
Yeah, I saw the earlier posts..this is a good point I never realized.
They have other console for critical mass. A casual gamer don't need a anaconda. They don't even know what resolution and fps is.
Ah.
I just don't see very many PS fanboys or owners jumping ship to XBox over a $100 difference in price. Not at all.
