The PS3 price at launch was five hundred ninety-nine US dollars and the ceo or someone bragged that you'll need a second job to afford the console. Peak "arrogant sony".

See now, if people posted "it would be a mistake for Sony to announce the PS5 at $750", then the comparison to the PS3 reveal of "five hundred and ninety-nine US dollars" would make sense.
I'm not sure but someone earlier in the thread said around 4x increase. Don't quote me on that. I can't find it in 70 pages *sweats*

Not a chance. PSN profit is much better in long term. They can lose from selling at the beginning but overtime they can produce consoles cheaper to make up
Dude you quoted him when he JUST asked you not to! Reported

When did Naughty Dog artist say that?Great article eventhough it's based on speculations over the general ideas we got today about the PS5. I think at the time of writing the article, the author wasn't aware that a Naughty Dog artist stated that ray tracing is hardware based and not software based. I really hope that he will consider updating his article to elucidate the info.
lol!, I didn't get the joke initially either.You didn't get the joke lol
He meant that the Xbox one sold 8K units in Japan in a year
It was a drag on MS, not Sony
This makes the rumored two-tier Xbox strategy for next-gen seem completely idiotic though, undercutting their own 1st party with a low baseline.
Now for the sake of argument, Somone gave guriella games a PS5 that is identical but has a 6tflop gpu,
Horizon 2 would work exactly the same but at 1440p, no cutbacks other than resolution.
Resolution scales with gpu power, this is just mathematical fact.
SSD sounds nice but also expensive, 1TB of NVMe is a couple hundred in the PC market so without a major breakthrough (which likely means non-proprietary economies of scale) I don't see this working with the current system and still maintaining a good price ($500?).
Probably just a really nice trick built into unreal that's made more impressive by the ray traced shadows and reflections.
No more minute long walks through magic doorways, or having to spend another minute in that portal place if you wanted to switch realms.The insane SSD is something I never would have expected as a cornerstone game changer of next gen. I thought there was a fair chance we got a cheap SSD that made loading faster and quieter, and helped keep up with increasing file-sizes. But this faster-than-anything, second-long loading monster? Never could have imagined it.
I totally see what Cerny is saying about it being a huge aspect of actual game design next gen (at least for first party) since you can piece together massive, insanely complex environments behind a single door. I mean, imagine the next God of War. I'm really really interested to see how those load times are utilized.
So glad to have Cerny behind this again. He is just so fucking brilliant.
Lol. How incredibly naive this is.
Even if MS did show there specs in June, one year and 4 months until the presumed Nov 2020 launch of next gen, Sony can't just alter there specs,
The chip is designed years in advanced, clocks are decided years in advanced, then Sony needs to secure suppliers of PSU's, fans, console chassis etc
So changing the APU design is impossible and so is changing the clocks, changing the clock will effect the heat output which would mean a different cooling system which would mean a different chassis, so all the deals with manufacturers that Sony have secured would need to be changed.
Simple answer is when making a console they can't just change specs.
If Sony were planning on a 12tflop gpu system and ms announced a 15tflop gpu Sony might be able to add 1 extra tflop if they are lucky but not much more.
The SSD probably isn't the only factor involved in shorter load timesThe insane SSD is something I never would have expected as a cornerstone game changer of next gen.

This is a super weird way to reveal this stuff. I'm still sad they won't have an E3 conference this year.
At least BC sounds.. promising ? I still want at least ps1 and ps2 BC too but let's see what ends up happening.
So what does this new fancy ssd mean when it comes to external storage options?
Will the system be smart enough to move a game from external storage to the local drive? Because if they are basing a lot of computing off of the drive, that external drive is going to muck things up.
Yeah pretty much.
Let's not have the opposite situation after PS4 was announced and specs were given. There were people claiming MS just havent disclosed its secret sauce yet.
Just accept that Xbox 5 X (I can't remember the codename) will be much more powerful at a higher pricepoint.
They are nothing alike. Phil is saying it'll be more expensive and Cerny is saying pretty much nothing, just a very vague statement to not give anything away, but that it won't be something ridiculous.No they won't. That I agree. That said, they are obviously trying to soften the blow for any potential 'shock' when they reveal the price. It's very deliberate.
In fact it's almost exactly the same as what Phil S. said about the Scorpio on its announcement
Yeah pretty much.

So with these super fast load times will that fix the bottleneck of I/O in current systems ( as in streaming data in open world games)

1TB NVMe drives have been selling for ~$100 recently. A large buy for 18 months from now will bring the price per unit well below that.
PCIE 5 tech which hasn't been released yet but is expected to in the near future. They are technically correct in saying that it's faster than anything in the market right NOW. Lmao
Man, I would love this. Such a small thing, but it would be so nice.I hope 3rd party Bluetooth headphones works great on PS5. Don't want to buy ps5 specific headsets.
The most exciting thing about this info to me is the confirmation that PS5 has a 8 core zen2, are we looking at a 4x increase in cpu performance with this?
