Their console their rules, i see what you mean but in practice it seems like it the same if lockhart is also gonna be called a series s, but thanks for actually pointing out what they mean
I hope it's not Series S. XSS isn't the best idea to use over here. Series D, please (Digital, if disc-less of course that is).
Personally I think neither Sony or MS will touch 599 US DOLLARS again, I'm guessing they'll go $549 at the most but more likely $499 or lower depending on how aggressive they want to be. It'll be fun to watch who dares to go first. And when it'll happen. I'm sure they'll be watching each other very closely.
Ugh i see what you mean, everyone has been calling it the series s so i just assumed it would be but i guess it could just be called Xbox Series GP or something else entirely, do you think lockhart is launched with the series x?
I think so (or shortly after), but I seriously don't know for sure, sorry.
I think 599$ is just too much.My bet is 449$ or 499$.
599$ is definitely too risky since they have to try to keep all those 35 million active ps4 users.
499$ is doable for 9tf machine
250$ gpu/cpu
90$ 16gb gddr6
80$ ssd
+ maybe 50-100$ loss per console in first year
That leaves them 150-200$ for other stuff in console like cooling, controller etc.
I just want to give a shout out to the big 3!
A year and a half ago I was resigned to 9-10TF GCN with an HDD and now I'm salivating at 12TF NAVI, 8 core Zen 2, and unprecedented consumer SSD speeds. Nintendo continues to innovate in the handheld space and devs in every single part of the world are working hard to crank out games of all sizes.

Do you think the iPhone names confuses the casuals? How the consoles are communicated to the masses is ultimately up to their marketing. Regardless, I just see most people going in and asking for the new Xbox, something they probably did with the 360 and the One in the past.
Na it wont be bad man.
You'll call yours a 1X,
This will be causually called a 2X or NewX or something.
Just like when the Xbox One was announced People are over thinking and over reacting to the idea of potential confusion.
Make = Xbox (rebranded as Original Xbox)
Model = n/a
Make = Xbox 360
Model = Core/Arcade, Premium/Pro, Elite, S, E
Make = Xbox One
Model = Original, S/S All Digital, X
Make = Xbox (fourth generation)
Model = Series X, ...
So do you think an aggressive $449 or even $399 PS5 could happen to get even the casual buyers on board ASAP?
I definitely thought this possible at the rumored 9.2TF but I'm not so sure if it ends up at 12/13TF.
You know you're getting old when you get excited for the business strategy...Though I (hope) think this will change when I see next-gen games in action.
Good point on the historical cost, accounting for inflation.
A $399 would be the cheapest hardware sony has EVER released, and there's not a good reason to believe their base is particularly price sensitive given that the 6+ year old ps4 is STILL selling tremendously well at $299.
On $599 i disagree. I think $599 is a psychological barrier, and calls up comparisons to the ps3 that Sony would rather avoid.
It'll be $499.
I don't think so.
I think there will simply be marketed as "The New Xbox: Series _" and be known as "Xbox: Series _ ( ___ generation)" in technical documentation.
I think they're going the Apple route of naming their products.
So the current rumor is:
Series X: 9.75 TFlops = 12.2 GCN Flops
PS5: 9.2 TFlops = 11.5 GCN Flops
?
Series X: 9.75 TFlops = 12.2 GCN Flops
PS5: 9.2 TFlops = 11.5 GCN Flops
?
...I never thought about that, yeah it would be unfortunate indeed.
This thread? There's so many numbers being thrown around, I'm just trying to simplify.
Hey I'll take a ticket but if PS5 gets announced with 12/13[Navi]TF like XSX then I might have to jump off...
I think the only thing that people in this thread (mostly) agree on is that Series X is 12TF RDNA
There is even a section of people who think its not rdna12 , i don't think there is one thing we all mostly agree on besides that we want more info and we want it now
Hes just gonna walk on stage say 12tf RDNA and walk away, was not even invited just showed up
I'd take an avatar bet that 1X gets phased out of the market with Series X launch as it's effectively made irrelevant the moment that goes on market.
1S, or possibly just the 1SAD will have their niche in sub 199 bracket that could keep going for awhile.
Its only get ramped up as we get closer, like a snowball rolling down a hill turned into a boulder
