Alright people. One last time..

I heard that there are 2 consoles per company. The mid-gen refreshes are going to be introduced at release so that these consoles can run the entire 7yr cycle.

XSX that was released yesterday is the top end one. 12TFLOPS
There will be a base Xbox Series X that is slower than that one.

Sony is releasing 2 PS models. The base PS5 is 9TFLOPs . Their other one is also top of the line to compete with XSX top dog.

This all makes sense now as to why people are getting mixed numbers for each of the platforms.

I also heard that the top of the line models will be expensive. No pricing but I would guess around $600.

Also no dates on when the top models will come out for PS5.

My guess is that they are going to release both models at the same time.

This is ALL I know and won't be fishing for anymore info.
I’m trying to make sense of those as honestly, having a 12Tflops and a 4-6Tflops version kinda makes sense (4K and 1080p as well as most likely as significant price difference). But if Sony is 12 and 9, then what is the purpose of 9 as it is too close to 12 honestly and will most likely be almost the same price.

Simultaneously wondering how people are holding to the 9.2TF PS5 despite so much evidence to the contrary and also..


How my daughter turned 5 today and insisted on cupcakes with sprinkles and candy inside and a cake with pink Starburst icing and cherry Jello "cherries" in it.

Both have me going

I own FFXIV and all of its dlc on every platform as well as For honor and R6 siege...... I also have just about every skin in smite on every platform including the shit that just came out today.... The only addiction I have is gaming.

Oh damn! FFXIV is the shit. What server do you play on, and what's your main class?

this may be a noob question but here it goes:

Microsoft will soon be releasing Windows 10X which gets rid of legacy win32 applications and focuses more on Universal Windows Platform (UWP) and Progressive Web Apps (PWA). The development of Xbox One and One X games does not use UWP except for one game: Forza Motorsport 6 Apex. With new API's besides Direct X 12, such as the Artificial Intelligent API, Ray Tracing API, will this make development of games for XsX and future desktops and laptops easier, and better? VFXVeteran VFXVeteran do you use Microsoft visual studio using UWP in conjunction with your game engine to develop games for windows and xbox?

I don't develop games, but we do use MVS and yes, we've used the UWP for Unity compiling for Hololens before.
 
Should't developers had receive some form of devkit about this Lochart and PS4.5(. 5)? To give people high end machine and tell them "go nuts bois" so they go in their Dexter lab and throw all that RT shit, 4K 350 fps, ultra physics and I.A, then Phil and Cerny enters from the service door with a creepy smile and a shittier console like ".... but also this", like, really?
Not accusing anyone here, but now we are discussing about dual PS5, bet in one hundred pages some crazy dude will hint about PS5 fellatio capabilities, goddamn.

Xbox having 2 skus is bullshit and sucks and holds next gen back with a lower powered console, but PS5 having two is genius! Click here to read why!

I can't wait for those articles!

From what I am told, the XSX = PS5 Pro > PS5 > Lockheart
 
Hey did not post alot lately..
but i just had an Idea while looking at Tommy Fishers Avatar..
can it be that he is Klee from resetera?? lol no cheap "black guys look all alike shit" involved. It just struck me..
Some other thing, there are those people that claim or suggest that sonys silence is caused by them knowing they have the weaker machine. And they therefore would not come out until they have games to show.
But i think that is not correct, simply because even IF they have the weaker machine - they could easily drop some Info Bits to keep the fire going without giving away that PS5 is inferior to Xbox X.
So i think the silence is not caused by them being worried, it must be something else.
Maybe its simply because all or some of their mayor showcases are not ready to show?

To add.. the price of the XSX and PS5 Pro is a major concern. It could go as high as $800. The XSX is literally the latest development for AMD. The price could interfere with Nvidia's 2080-series of cards if priced much lower than the 2080 Super. I hope that Nvidia drops their prices down when the top of the line next-gen consoles come out *IF* they cost much lower than the 2080. Also PS5 Pro might not see the light of day until 2022.

I mean, ok?
If true the situation is hella messy here, because it seems some developers have only the highend models and others also the low end, some developers seems even to completely ignore their existence.
So much for the "easiest console to develop for ever". Dunno.

Klee already has an account here, but stranger things have happened, so who knows?

Even MS are ignoring the existence of Lockheart.

Are you really serious about all that...

I fear you will lose your face badly after PS5 Reveal

That doesn't make sense. First of all, the XSX or hypothetical PS5 Pro are not going anywhere near $800. That is obscene in the console market.

More importantly, you claim that XSX = PS5 Pro, but that the Pro may not hit until 2022? Wouldn't a hypothetical 2022 console release be another leap in tech (albeit, small)?

It honestly feels like you're just throwing shit out there to get a reaction. It'd be great if you're right. But how much do you genuinely believe in your information or sources?

Dude it doesn't make sense MS shows a console & they know it's gonna be as high as $800 or even $700. I think alot of people find $500 is a bit too much for a console so how it's a $800??

Plus Sony will never ever sell a console higher than $500 & they know very well they will not release a console as low as a 9.2tf compared to SX that would affect their reputation imho. But if what you said is right & Sony only released one console at launch which is the 9.2tf one & after 2 years they released the more powerful one, they will get alot of backlash.

It's a very bad move imo.

As he spoke about two PS5, by Pro he means the 11\12 tf model that half an hour ago was just PS5.
Yeah.

I’ll just add that while I’ve heard the SX is slightly higher than the PS5 (10.5-11.5 vs SX@12tf, see my long post form earlier today) I haven’t heard anything about a pro release PS5 or multiple sku from Sony other than the old one before they changed course.

So not sure what to make of that, I don’t buy it myself. Of course they will be working on a pro upgrade, but it won’t be something feasible for a while. Hell, what would a pro upgrade even BE over a 12tf base console? 18tf? Good lord...

18? Only 50% more powerful? Things gonna be interesting in the next years.

Imo if both consoles are around 12Tf (SX already is) then we don't need a mid gen upgrade. They did that with the current one because the base models released underpowered compared to what was available at that time, so a mid gen upgrade isn't necessary going next gen.

Wait. 2022? So the PS5 really is 9tfs? You can't count a PS5 pro that comes out 2 years later as a match for the launch X series. What's going on here? If this is real, then it really is 12 vs 9.

Yeah in 2 years, matching something from 2020 won't be anything to shout about.
 
that’s a good question actually because the answer depends on what the next chase is. Pro consoles only exist to give the same games at 4k (ish). So would the future pro consoles only exist for 8k?
Probably full RT or the ability to choose for 120 fps and other extreme shits. And big heads will also discover some other Willy Wonka magic.

So he claim that sony will Launch the direct competitor (PS5 pro) to xbox sx
2 years later for up to 800 bucks

That Sounds hilarious

Btw 800$ for a 12 or 13TF ps5 pro in the year 2022 is way too high

So when someone came out & say 9Tf vs 12tf Xbox fanboys believe him but when Orisirblack & others say they're both very close then they must be a BS, I mean bruh 🤦
I'm a Pony, I'm hoping for at least 11TF PS5 (no 12TF Pro in 2 years).
I'm not sure if my previous comment made sense, but what I am trying to say is a 12TF Pro in 2 years makes no sense to me, matching something from 2020 in 2 years would be meh.

I have to admit you got me for a minute with the PS5/PS5 Pro leak in your earlier post. Seeing that you are obviously joking is a relief.

So possible for launch is (basic) PS5 for Sony with a possible simultaneous launch of PS5 Pro if everything goes right? MS will launch XSX and Lockhart at the same time for launch?

Maybe this leak was correct after all and sony will indeed launch 2 SKUs next year as VFXVeteran suggest. 1000$ for the more expensive one😃
