This seems like an important time to remind folks that “insiders” can be wrong in a non-malicious way. Information you get 6 months ago could be for plans that have since changed.
Its the folks who try to assure you with 100% certainty that they’re right which I don’t trust.
great post. Further, there are three types of people in every argument:
- Those who fight for this side or that side
- Those who are looking for truth/ honesty
- Those who mix the two
The most highly evolved people fall into the middle category. Don't expect to see many in gaming forums.
I want to be in the middle, but i struggle. My flaw is that i have a real desire to fight for the underdog. Sometimes that means pulling for Bernie Sanders, sometimes for donald trump; sometimes for amd, sometimes for Intel...
also, there is this viscous undercurrent amongst posters at both sites that want to destroy people for sins, real or imagined. Afaik, gaf has no actual blood on its hands unlike ree, so that is good.
I agree with you on this, I think the full final specs are only known by a handful of people and really in the end I am willing to put 100% trust in Mark Cerny on whatever he decides for the PS5, I know he is going to put together an even more balanced system that is even easier to program for than the PS4, I think he did an amazing job with the PS4 by listening to developers and putting together a great system!
i have confidence too. However, if he was told to make a $399 2019 console, then told to try and make that product into a competitive 2020 console...well he is only human.
it is like with original x1. MS designers had to design according to management demads, and that is where the blame goes.
The interesting thing in all these TF discussions is; is XSX primed to be a high end offering with a price tag to match, catering to the high end consumer, not the the average punter.
This of course falls inline with Ms also offering a much cheaper alternative at the same time.
Leaving Sony somewhere in between with spec and price. How would the market respond. Pretty exciting to watch it unfold.
great drama this time around. Defo.
