Why moot?? Tommy was the same person mod of War had contact with, mentioned he saw some info but Tommy didn't want to give up his source. Tommy didn't get banned bcus mod of War didn't feel like he was bullshitting, he just didn't verify him.

Ima laugh when most of what Tommy is saying comes true. It's actually hand in hand with past leaks or supposed info.
Unfortunately he did one specific info drop that turn out to be incorrect. Whether he got wrong info or not he chose to disappear for over a month instead of responding.

Pretty sure it was HeisenbergFX4 HeisenbergFX4 that mod of war said that about, but Tommy wasn't banned from the thread unlike camefromnearfuture so that's something I guess.

Guess I feel let down by believing him and am still butt hurt lol

Anyway the 12th is only a few weeks away so everything in this thread will either be confirmed are proved bs. At least for ps5 anyway.

No I was paying attention during the back and forth, mod of war said tht about Tommy. Everyone was pushing for him to get vetted and then mod of war responded with what I mentioned. Either way we shall see Itll ve funny if lost of what he says turns out true.

I think just as ms made people believe that a vapor chamber is some sort of exotic cooling solution, they're making people think a tower design is the only way to properly cool these new consoles. I think it'll be somewhat amusing when the 1st xsx teardown happens and the tower design is just to easily fit a 140mm fan. It's just a smart, simple solution. Probably why sony won't do it.

I’m interested in how it’s going to handle dust given the main air vent is facing up.

Looks like a generic subwoofer/speaker or a floor fan.
It's an interesting design but I am not sure I like it.
I thought the same, which looks like a speaker / subwoofer, but I like similar PC cases, so I loved the design.

It's even more interesting when you think about the cooling system.
 

When the feds raid moonshiners
My b-day is on feb 11 so that'll be a nice gift from Sony :messenger_beaming:
That you will pay for :messenger_grinning_smiling:
What if @CameFromNearFuture wasn't wrong...




Tommy Fisher Tommy Fisher also said:



And @OsirisBlack:





I guess we'll find out in a couple of days who was right or wrong.
I think this guy is legit Tommy Fisher Tommy Fisher , who is in his right mind would post something like this "PSM [2]", what does it mean ? 2 sku's, dual GPU ?

It think he thinks there has been only one PS Meeting (2013). But to be honest they've been calling these events PS Meeting at least since 2011, so there's been 3 of them since then. We'll see who's right and wrong in a couple of days.
 
Same date as second PSM?

I agree but this "[2]" must be something deeper, box shape (2 boxe's - consoles), APU shape (dual gpu), aren't insiders suppose to post crypted sh!t, he got me @@ up :messenger_tears_of_joy:
 
Nice try to spin things.

This part of your post surely implies on infinite war chest and how only MS, Google and Amazon can change the industry because they HAVE MOOOOOONEY.



Same thing happened before this gen. MS HAS MOOOOOOONEY!
This thread is a pure goldmine :

It's a fact that MS has deeper pockets.
 
Something doesnt make sense . If its at ps meeting means game will launch with console.why would ps5 launch october and not november as this suggests ?

Zhuge on ERA debunked Ragnarok name. Next AC won't be called like that. And also Feb. 12 is false too.

 
Nope, it' totally true.
No way am I going to go all digital. For starters, I don't have a amazing 1gb download, and am lucky to get 6mbps download in peak hours. And most people dont have super fast internet. Secondly, I can buy second hand or games on disc cheaper than they are in the digital store. Some games are $50 dearer to download than buy on disc.
And thirdly, I like the idea of not having to worry about MS banning my console because of something they dont like and losing my entire games catalog. And I can lend them to people or sell them.

I'm not the only one either, ands one of the reasons Sony smashed MS at the begining of this gen.
 
They get whatever money they need, and if MS think the investment is worth it, they will get what they want. To think otherwise is just plain crazy.

I think it's always helpful to look at it as the Xbox division and Playstation division. The difference being that Xbox don't necessarily get to tap into the MS coffers. And equally, Playstation don't get to tap into profit generated from other divisions within the business.

You're right that, if Microsoft see it as a worthwhile investment, they are free to invest. However I'd argue that their investment in Xbox is their commitment to the gaming industry. It would need to be an exceptional opportunity for Microsoft to go even harder again.

I disagree with the notion that Xbox get 'whatever they need'. It's quite clear that they operate within a budget. And if you're making business and ROI decisions on the gaming division, Xbox simply does not have the same profitability or importance within Microsoft, as it does for Playstation within Sony. What I mean by that, is Sony have more to lose/gain with Playstation than Microsoft do with Xbox. So when it comes to business wide investment decisions, I don't think it's rational to believe that MS will just do whatever it takes to win. They've not done that to date, and I don't see any reason that they would invest significantly more than Sony at this stage.

I suggest MS buys Playstation from Sony then, way easier than spending the last 19 years getting spanked by them left and right 🤣

Why not buying Sony as a whole ? That infinite cash argument that never materialized except in fanboys minds 🤣

No offense but I can't stand MBG, he is a very rough fanboy. He fanboyed for Microsoft long enough and now he's doing it with Sony. I think the fanboy spirit is in him no matter what, if there's a brand he can cling to he will do it like a cheap hooker to a John on the dark corner of 25th Ave.

...Sorry I just wanted to say that xD. But they're kinda there with CrapGaming for me; not as clickbaity and meandering but basic fanboy stuff/playing up fanboy tendencies.

Agreed, MBG is a sad individual.

Something else to point out is that Playstation is technically a subsidiary, which functions differently from the typical corporate division.
