As a base console owner that doesn't have a Pro or an X, these consoles will be massive leaps to me either way. Especially when I get my 4K TV.

I disagree. At least when it comes to this particular topic anyway. It's perfectly possible to post in here without trying to push anything. But nice to see you're so open about it at least. Although I must say it makes your previous posts about other people pushing narratives kind of pointless and even a little hypocritical. Still, at least I'll know to 'act accordingly for the future' when coming across your posts in this thread :)
Feel free to point and laugh at me if I'm wrong.
But I really don't think I am.

Microsoft. We are all having fun here but MS announced the most powerful next gen console already. Price is the only thing to discuss now regarding how it compares to its competitors.
lol one on each side of the V.
i think the simpler answer here is that sony is aiming for $399 and for some bizarre reason thought to gimp the gpu.
at the end of the day, this will hurt their bottomline. the fans of their games will stick with them but it will not be used as the main console by enthusiasts. they will lose ps+ subs and digital revenue from the majority of game sales. especially early on in the gen when enthusiasts spend an ungodly amount of money on their fresh new toy.
it might work for them, after all look at the switch selling like hot cakes. but its highly likely that a 9 tflops console will cause the same kind of blowback from the community like the 1.2 tflops xb1 did in 2013. its all about PR and a 9 tflops console will not win you that pr battle and might even alienate their base which was expecting a top of the line gpu instead of a console aimed at casuals.
I guess you are talking about the Phil Spencer interview?
He said he believes they will be and likes having the performance lead. That is far from a fact.
I don't see any way that XSX is less than 12TF Navi
The console is a huge tower. That suggests it's Navi TF and every leaking outlet is reporting them as Navi
Actually, the simplest answer is not to blindly believe these black box twitter accounts spounting claims with no clear providence or reputation.
No.
If they manage to release an inferior console at the same or higher price than Xbox - then they're in trouble. But failing that, people will see big leaps in graphics either way.
They want it to be the most powerful next-gen console. But they did not confirm anything. We have to wait until they release their specs.
People are too skeptical of good news and easily accept bad news about next-gen consoles.
The number of people that would be pissed at a 9TF console accounts for ~50 PS5 sales.
What would be the benefit of a dual GPU design?
Could they get better yields of 36 CU x2 instead of one big 72 CU chip? Better heat separation?
Would the performance scale similarly, or would there be a big performance hit?
It's an interesting theory and I'd love to believe but I think there's likely too many disadvantages for it to make sense
I'd love Sony to go crazy and build an 18 TF monster but there's no way they'd be able to fit that in a good power envelope
Phil with that concession when the PS5 specs come out and he has to go through the climb down for Xsx, and he says 'Oh well, we believed!' Come on!
Man 95% of gamer market doesn't know what tflops are. Many people here in era don't understand about tech imagine the regular gamer.
Series X is being quoted as 12TF RDNA, not GCN no matter what you want to believe.
If they knew they would say so from the beginning, while it's likely it should not be stated as fact until the specs are fully released.
If I'm Sony, and I'm seeing how well the PS4 has performed commercially, I'm very tempted to sell the PS5 at a profit. Selling it at a loss is an unnecessary risk with the market share PlayStation has.
Scarlett is confirmed Navi / RDNA by MS and AMD. Imo to state otherwise is dellusional.
I don't know why 9.2TF RDNA is something to be alarmed about. 🤷♂️
By Windows Central that also states its power to be 2x the Xbox One X... which would coincidentally put it at 12TF GCN?
BTW that wasn't even in the initial report. It was added later. Digital Foundry hasn't been able to the number as RDNA either.
You can believe it if you want. I'm not stopping you. But it's not anywhere near "confirmed."
though 9.x NAVI vs 12.x NAVI is back to the fore front. whats your take?
This. It's a hell of a console at $399. Just need the 1st Party devs to do what they do best.
I didn't say that Series X is not RDNA?
I fully believe it is. Of course it is.
That doesn't mean that leaks to Windows Central in the form of a TF number is accounting for RDNA efficiency as opposed to being in GCN for easy comparison purposes, especially when the article has a multiplier comparison that invokes GCN.
If Phil says he believes the new box will be the most powerful, that's a huge statement. In front of millions, at the VGA. Think about that for a second. It's happening.
It's real, have to give him credit.
That said, this is probably Sony's old plans for PS5. Klee will show us the truth shortly I'm sure.
