Cool, I didn't know that. I loved the 360, it was such an underdog after Sony's PS3 hype and the Xbox 1.5 mocking, ended up as the main platform for multiplats for me until this gen when I jumped into PC gaming.
According to my personal stats 0% of people do own a PS5.
Yeah that's my feeling as well. They're too closely related to PC hardware now and PC tech evolves too quickly, so unless the consoles have some unknown special features they'll essentially be mid-range PCs soon after the launch. I expect Pro and X (lol) upgrades within 3 years this time as well.
If it doesn't come with QBASIC Gorillas 2, then I'm not interested.
Vast majority of PC gamers are not playing at 4k, which is the target resolution of the Series X. Lower resolution = higher performance.
Windows 10 is basically free. You can just download it from MS and install it and never activate like everyone else who didn't have an upgrade option.
I doubt the "majority" of pc gamers will have a near 2080 equivalent within the next six months. Unless you believe the ampere equivalent of a 1660 is closer to a 2080 then a 2070. It will alter the percentages but the majority of dedicated graphic cards will not be stronger. Not everyone who buys graphics cards go all out and post on forums. The majority are in the low-mid tiers. We can deduct that next gen low-mid tier will not match the price point of a 2080 at half the price and wattage. At most we can expect PS5 tier graphics at the $250 -$300 price point of nvidia next gen and that's being optimistic with their pricing history lol
even still, if that prices halves, which it probably won't, you still have to factor other things, like an Gen 4 SSD, CPU and RAM along with a Motherboard. That is more than likely double the cost of the XSX.
And the exact same thing can be said about consoles. You can buy used, second hand or deals. There is almost the same variety of options here.
Most people on PC are likely playing old games anyway if Steam is any indication. There''s a lot of older games listed in the top games by current player count and that's only 100 of thousands of games being played on Steam. There's not much point being in that 5% if all you do is play Dota 2, or Team Fortress 2 or, in my case, Guild Wars. :D
Yeh I get that, I was referring to the specific prices mentioned not the fact you can't match 1:1 which has always been the case.
There's 3 types of people who say this
A 5700 is not comparable, RDNA2 is more powerful than RDNA1 and the GPU is more powerful than 5700XT. At the end of the year, maybe a 6700 RDNA 2 GPU with 36 CUs and the higher clock will release it will be comparable to the PS5 GPU. A 5700 does not have raytracing an so on.
You need a better GPU to match PS5 GPU too, perf per clock is better on PS5 5 RDNA2 GPU, the GPU has more flops and more features like raytracing...
