Yo, it's a muck hole, but's it's our own cozy, cushy muck hole :D
No idea who the dude is. I think its unlikely but I don't think its that any more confusing than Microsoft's approach. A PS5 costing like $400 and a PS5 Pro which has some better specs, more storage and whatever for like $600 doesn't seem that crazy to me. To me it makes more logical sense than Microsoft's (supposed) approach where they are trying to sell consumers on 2 wildly different specs as both being next gen.
Eh, to the depraved enthusiast, perhaps. But how many PC users have a GPU rated at 12TF?
I do, but it's an EVGA GTX 1080 Ti (factory overclocked) and I highly doubt it'll run Halo Infinite at the same level Xbox Series X will.
XSX has plenty of power to deliver as a baseline for 9th generation software.
Here's the thing with that though if Sony comes out with a new playstation, at launch, with a price tag of $599, a lot of casuals might immediately jump to the thought of when Ps3 was $599 with a $499 option. In my opinion, it's just not good for the public persona to see such a high price tag even if it is only a pro/hardcore preference.
Not only that, but if Sony were to just have one SKU at launch at $399, then drop the price after a few years, the Ps5 pro could be even more powerful than the theoretical launch Ps5 pro, and it could be $399 instead of the launch $599. It's a win win for everyone
Bit offtopic: rumor ampere targeting 33tf
If the Nvidia Ampere rumours are true, there’s a 33 TFLOPS GPU on Geekbench
Previous rumours suggest a doubling of floating point units in Ampere GPUs, which would put the leaked chip at 33.2 TFLOPSwww.pcgamesn.com
16 TFLOPS sounds about right for an RTX 3080 level card. I'd expect the 3080 Ti to be 20+ TFLOPs.
That would either be late 2020 or H1 2021. It depends. With the RTX 2000 series, Nvidia launched 2080 and 2080 Ti about a month or so apart in Fall 2018.
Previously, Nvidia had launched the high-end Ti cards 6-9 after the xx80 product.
I wouldn't expect 30+ TFLOPs until Nvidia Hopper with 4 MCM chips (and using 5nm) in 2022.
And that would be for a Tesla HPC card.
Sorry, off-topic.
12 TF XSX will still be monstrous for a console
IMO a good article about Xbox Series X and marketing communication

People brought up their "cross buy" but that's digital only and was mostly used for indies.. so I'm assuming they've expanded the idea. I think it was Matt.
Both of these consoles are going to be monstrous for sure. We're all going to benefit :D
LMAO for a sec I thought Sony just tweeted that XD
I was going to die laughing at their smug hubris against all those wanting them to tweet something about the PS5
Ps5 doesn't roll off the tongue phonetically as well as Ps4/3/2/1 did.
The twitter post for this announcement is ridiculous. I love how it doesn't matter what Sony posts on twitter , the first response is always someone asking for PS5 news. It's like the more hardcore part of their community just doesn't give a single fuck about anything else other than PS5.
It seems more and more likely all of MS first party stuff is going to run on an X1s for most of if not the entirety of next gen.
fair enough. Now let's play market dynamics. How many price conscious gamers bought Xbox one at launch? Probably not many because they're price concious. Maybe waited 3 years for a 1S or a price drop.
also a price conscious gamer might want value for money by keeping a console for a good few years.
Are there many that will even be in the market to get a new console now? Even if it's 'affordable' by our measure?
no way. That would actively make me disinterested in an xsx
Yep. Matt said that Sony has their own version of Smart Delivery.
No just speculation. It just feels like they want everything to run on all Xbox platforms at least for the foreseeable future.
I recently wrote something like this but I'd imagine it being like like apps in the app store on iOS:
Compatible with Xbox One (Durango), Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, & Xbox Series X.
As the developers lean more into the new-gen features than the other versions will fall off. A game designed around the new SSD (or any of the RDNA2 features) on a deep system-level will only be Series S/X compatible. I also expect a few games to be not compatible with the Durango/One S but working on the One X and later about 18 months - two years in.
As for MS goes, I would expect them leaning into their dev team to ensure that if there's a build that runs somewhat stable at 720p/900p with everything on low... then release it on the Durango/One S just cause they can (Witcher 3 Switch).
I think there was previous statements of support for 1st year of console.
Who knows really, this is a new strategy, it could backfire, it could be a success. I guess time will tell.
I do not see that being a thing. I think it will be usual cross gen timelines of about 2 years like most gens.
Perhaps its time to quote Matt Booty again in regards to cross-gen comments..

1 year (or 1-2 years as was reported before) does not sound like the whole XSX generation.

If you just grabbed an Xbox One, you're not being cut off immediately.

No way; for one they aren't going to want to support the Xbox One in general for that long. They won't be producing / selling them.. they'll all be out of warranty.. they wont' want to update the dashboard, have extensive hardware/software support, etc.

I guess that means we all get to see the presentations then rather quickly.
Sucks a little bit, but not bad. Should give their studios plenty of time.Perhaps its time to quote Matt Booty again in regards to cross-gen comments..

Haha assuming that they are ready. I know I am guilty of finishing mine like the day before conference.
My bet was about consoles would not achieve 12TF, I was originally thinking about around 10 TF. The bet was from May 2019 before we got all the info in Github, TGA and chip photos. Since then I knew I would lose. Then last week the official number came and I wore the confirmed avatar of shame for a week. Week is over now!

Which to be frank... won't be many games, and some will be more low-key games anyways that wouldn't have been next-gen crazy tech showpieces anyways.
This Ms strategy is likely partly due to how low their output is in general. They bought a bunch of studios and should improve but a lot of those projects are gonna be year 2/3 or not crazy AAAA games anyways.
