I honestly don't understand the aversion people seem too be having towards insider rumours. I see no reason to question anything Matt has said at this stage. When we have some firm specs, maybe things will change.
Well....at the current moment, most are choosing to actively ignore/deny/bemoan leaked and confirmed/verified data like the Github leak. As some others have said, currently, that's the only
hard data we have to go on.
The rest is well....nothing really.
See, this isn't even about the TF number. It's about the logic being used to come to the conclusions people are coming to. Those who feel/believe the PS5 might be the "stronger" console don't appear to be basing it on anything....concrete (for want of a better word). Yet those same people are more than happy to crack the shits at those suggesting the PS5 might be "weaker" based on....actual leaked data (no matter it's age).
This is why these threads continue to be an endless shit show.
The final TF number is ultimately irrelevant. Sony would sell 100 million PS5 with a 5TF console, a 6TF console, a 9TF console and most likely a 12TF console (depending on its price). I
hope I'm wrong and Sony has somehow secretly hidden the truth from all of us and surprises everyone with a 14TF monster. Then we can have 2 ridiculously overpowered consoles to enjoy without needing mid-gen upgrades and maybe actually move to 60fps becoming the standard.
But
currently, based on nothing more than the more concrete information we have at hand (that hasn't come from insiders), stuff that's come from actual leaked data, that doesn't appear to be the case.
But here's a question. Why is it a problem? Let's say the PS5 does turn out to be 9TF. Is that such a bad thing? Would it be the end of the world? The way some are acting at the prospect of it, you'd think that would be the case. Personally, as someone still rocking a Panasonic 1080p Plasma, a 9TF PS5 will still give me the 1080/60 gaming I crave that currently only the One X provides with any kind of consistency. Lockhart will probably even give me that. Let alone a 9TF PS5.
