Fantastic specs, next gen really is going to be awesome.
Now Sony's turn to give us some more info...........

Don't forget that they included an expensive pack-in (Kinect) with the launch system. They could probably have lopped $50-100 off the launch price without it.
MS and dropping info out of nowhere like usual with this system
Still waiting on ANYTHING from sony, i'm PC and ps5 this gen but I still like to pry
The magical ssd they were talking about is just an nvme? or is there more to that? I have a 1tb samsung 970 in my rig right now
Ampere cards launch this year, so this doesn't really do anything to the PC space, but i'm excited that the new standard is set pretty highHoly shit... Microsoft, what the hell this is beyond prediction what you showed off. Honestly, looks like PCs just got tumbled off their pedestal. This console showing is bonkers.
Also what a good showing for AMD. While undoubtedly MS did most of the work, those Zen 2 cores are so lovely and I'm sure RDNA2 was a good deal of your work as well.
GPU looks to be about a 2080 Super in regards to performance. CPU is around a 3700x with a lower boost clock. 16 gigs of ram. 1 TB NVME. I'd say close to $2,000. If you're building a whole new setup (monitor included) then much more.
All this sounds and looks incredibly impressive.
Based on the specs we have, is the SX as powerful as the 2080ti or close to it?
I mean it gives people something to talk about, MS is clearly excited for what they have, they even say so in the Austin Evans videoWith the world in the midst of a horrible pandemic, trying to reveal your new gaming hardware is currently incredibly foolish and shortsighted.
Sony will have plenty of news cycles to itself. There is no need to rush.
Considering the system has built in memory and that's just for expandable memory makes it nothing like the vita. Sony launched Vita for $250 with NO storage, which means you had to buy it with the system. 32gb was $100...Yeah, prevedible, it would be the same crap with PS5 and people will EAT it and be happy about... PS Vita all over again :'(
With the world incredibly depressed this a beautiful distraction. Who cares if Sony has news cycles to themselves. This virus will still be going on when Sony shares their news. That will be a good distraction on that day as well.With the world in the midst of a horrible pandemic, trying to reveal your new gaming hardware is currently incredibly foolish and shortsighted.

This. As a PC gamer this kind of performance at $599USD is a stupid amount of value, even at $699 or $799 (never going to happen) it's STILL amazing value. The CPU and GPU power along with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB NVME (when I bought my 1TB NVME it was almost the cost of a whole console lol)? God-damn, it makes me envious.
Fairly close in terms of pure theoretical performance, especially for the price these things are going to be at. Think closer to a 2080 than a TI.All this sounds and looks incredibly impressive.

Was not expecting 1tb ssd. Nuts.
Now everything has been revealed except price, date and launch titles yeh?
Come on Sony, I'm thirsty!
All this sounds and looks incredibly impressive.

No, it's closer to a 2070 or on the low side of 2080. But it's still not bad.

…games?I can't even explain how good Microsoft are handling this. We all need a perk up and they drop all the info we need! Every tidbit. Is there any info we are missing now?
It's 1TB of memory. How long do you think that's going to last when games like RDR2 are *already* over 100GB? The additional NVMe is almost necessary.
I agree with you there. Cod mW 2019 is like 140gb alone on my PS4. Still ssd are crazy expensive1tb is really low these days to be honest. Games are huge, especially with devs making more and more live service games.
You couldn't play any game on Vita out of the box without also buying a memory card for around $40 extra. You can play games out of the box with this.It's 1TB of memory.

The 2080ti is in a league of its own and the consoles just can't touch it. This is closer to 2070, if compared to nvidia.
Now the question is, will Sony really stand out with its SSD ?
The presentation of Spiderman took 0.8 seconds to load if it is not bullshit and really applies it could be incredible
This is cool, but I don't think that Sony will be so thoughtful tho...This was really the only way you could have done this, plus it looks like third parties are allowed to produce cards. The one they showed off was made by Seagate.
I've also had a 1tb NVMe for a while now, the best one available actually, and I don't ever have so many huge games installed at once that I ever even needed to think about needing moreYou couldn't play any game on Vita out of the box without also buying a memory card for around $40 extra.

Games will come down in size since they don't have to copy multiple parts across a platter for quicker access in addition to some of the new DirectML tech.
They'll eventually balloon back up but we should see game sizes be a little more friendly early in the gen.
I don't think a RTX 2070 or 2070 Super can run Gears of War 5 at 4K with even higher graphics settings than what the Xbox Series X Can do.
So this looks like it competes with the 2080 Super and 2080 Ti
