Can someone actually ask blue what happened, the way he writes is as if he’s created the console fs

That was unexpected, but very welcome. Got to say, Microsoft is doing a great job putting everything out there (except for the price) before Sony does, doing already some hands on impressions with a couple of guys...
Great job indeed, they needed to be aggressive this time around, 'cause the current gen was definitely not what they wanted financially speaking, and they are doing it right. Glad for them, 'cause at the end of the day, we all win.

Those expansion cards will get cheaper and larger over time. It's a very good solution.

Incredible stuff coming from the XSX. And Tim Dog right again that more X news was coming. Good on him! Can't wait to see Sonys now. Pull those pants down!

No I'm pretty sure. Sony has built market and mindshare through many years of quality not announcements. All we have to see as reference is how ps3 still outsold Xbox 360 even at hundreds more, inferior multiplats and what at the time was an inferior online. Do you remember psn going down for months? Ppl still didn't abandon ps3 and it still outsold Xbox 360 worldwide almost every month during those months and tht speaks volumes. These announcements do nothing to kill Sony's hype and once thy drop tht info the flood gates will open. As an international brand Sony is just way stronger this is a fact not just fanboy bs and hopes.

I’m not moving the goalposts. Call Github irrelevant all you want. I don’t think it accurately depicts the PS5 chip in any way. But that being said, trashing github because the Arden testing at the time had no CU’s disabled is nit-picky to say the least.

Wow he was right tht more x news was coming? How did he see tht coming
Timdog hasn't been right or given new info tht wasnt already leaked ever lol

Report me if I continue to console war
They literally show tests of less tflop rdna cards matching or exceeding performance of higher tflop GCN cards....
You are literally trying to deny reality, please dont waste my time.

It's a great example of how people can make incorrect assumptions without the full context or information though.

GitHub never mentioned 60 CU’s total. Just 56 active. They most likely had all 56 active at time of testing.LMAO!! The tests for GitHub were 60 CUs, 4 turned off so that rounds up 56 CUs.
LMAO the denial

I mean Microsoft showed the logo last year. They showed the console and now showed the specifications and they’ll show the games after. Sony still at the logo stage.

sorry to all the insiders here but you all take a back seat to Tommy Fisher.
100% correct on XSX with no riddles.

The brand is indeed much stronger, but if Microsoft also has a decent launch lineup you must also understand that they will sell better next gen than this gen, right? Obviously Sony will sell the most consoles, but Microsoft will do better this time around.

Just got to the end of the one of the DF videos (timestamped link 26min)
The shielding on the APU and on the PSU isn't the usual bend plated steel - appears to be cast Aluminium or Zamak .. that isn't messing around and I sort of wonder why, especially on the PSU which doesn't need the rigidity to support the heat sink - definitely more expensive afaik
[edit - duh my bad - I think it's pressed steel after all..]
...
Also sucks from the bottom

You can order official Xbox controllers coloured more or less how you want them.

Design your own next-gen Xbox Wireless Controller in the Xbox Design Lab. Choose from a combination of colours, patterns, textured triggers and Share buttons.

You actually said that. Admittedly, the backgrounds were really strange. His behavior was downright delusional. A patent for the PS5 controller had been in existence for weeks. Clear features of the DS4 could be seen in the "leaked" photos from TF.
However, I still wouldn't say his information are 100% correct. I am still skeptical. Lets see if the PS5 specs will also match.

I'm wondering if, looking how the video shows them "assembling" a Series X if mid-gen refreshes will allow for replacing certain parts, leaning towards a more modular build of the console (pc-like, you could say). That'd be very appealing.

He got tht info awhile ago so of course things can change slightly. But I think it's a safe bet tht 85% of the stuff he said is right or close. I mean he's already been spot on with nextbox.

Actually.. the one thing that may be holding them back is the hope that MS releases a price.

So can we confirm the January 2019 Leak of ANACONDA?
ALSO does anyone remem.ber who leaked codename ANACONDA FIRST??? This leak was start off JAN 2019 was there an earlier time ANACONDA was used? The leak also talked about Lockhart and ps5 (I think lockhart and anaconda leaks dropped around same time) If someone can remember first mention of anaconda would be a cool find thanks

No tht is definitely true. I definitely see them selling better given the msging I've been hearing, shit I'll probably be on Board. I do have an Xbox s but was going to pass bcus I don't use it but I'm liking what I'm hearing about studio development and of course the power sounds good.

How much this machine going to cost though, the specs are very high end.?
Ah yes, that wasn't what i was meaning. Really, this virus isn't even that bad yet. It can get 100x or more worse and I fully expect it to. I hope it doesn't, but I cant not see it getting worse. If their is time to release info, it's now and before the shit properly hits the fan.
And I am glad they still do that and I don´t wanna go the eco friendly route, but rechargeable AA batteries are cheap and have some spares and a AA charger at home is fine. Even though it is possible to replace internal batteries a lot of people just won´t do it. They throw it away and by new stuff. Heck I replaced the internal battery of my Kindle 3 Keyboard and some friends and colleagues were "kindles are super cheap, why don´t you just buy a new one? ", because my Kindle 3 just works perfectly, it just needed a new battery.

this is definitely a leak from MS side. they got MS stuff right and PS5 was what MS believed PS5 would be according to Albert penello(8tf) which is incorrect.

you don't need to change shit... you have the option to use their official battery pack, your own AA batteries or third party battery packs.
that's by far the best way to do things.
it gives you options and an easy way to replace the battery should it go bad down the line.

Sony has 2 huge exclusives still to release by the end of June. They have no reason to talk about anything until this pandemic dies down. Unlike Microsoft, their exclusives actually sell not give it away for basically free with a $1 GP sub at release. Microsoft has nothing to show. Their games are not exclusive to Series X for a few years at least. They're the ones who are trying to claw forward to gain market not Sony. Why reveal anything when consoles are not in mass production yet? Do it when you finalize the specs so competition doesn't know what to jump on unless you have inside secrets. Both consoles will probably be near each other in power.
I'm very impressed by the Microsoft hardware. I want to see price. You're looking at a $1k+ PC easy. They upped their game time for Sony to match or exceed.

Just catching up with the news, yall probably already figured this out but I just read the Verge's reporting
>16GB of GDDR6
>there’s 10GB for fast GPU optimal memory, 3.5GB for standard memory, and 2.5GB reserved by the OS.
Confused, is it a fixed allocation from a single pool of RAM? Part of the appeal of unified memory was that developers could split it any way, this almost reads like there's 6GB of DDR/system memory, but it also says 16GB of GDDR6, in which case why make a fixed pool?
Official spec sheet says
16GB GDDR6
10GB @ 560 GB/s, 6GB @ 336 GB/s
But I imagine there’s two missing numbers here, the GPU accessing the CPUs pool, and the CPU accessing the GPUs pool, probably at somewhat reduced bandwidth? It’s the whole idea of unified memory.

Going by Daniel Ahmad BOM estimates (460-520) I wouldn't expect it to cost a penny more than 499$. Same with PS5 (BOM ~450) price <=499$.

But what was the earliest reference to it being called anaconda i dont believe Winows central and verge started calling it anaconda at start of 2019?
Ahh i see late 2018 the ref to anaconda

This.
Well my guesses 99% wrong, 1% right. Can't win them all. LOL
This is why I try to avoid the boards that are 90% insiders, if I'm going to be making stupid assumptions I at least want there to be others around doing the same. Excited for the news, I love the way MS always manages to get that Lego block design working, probably takes a lot of work designing the pieces to get things to fit together like that.
Note to insiders, please don't smack us clowns around too bad, if we had the spec sheet, we'd know this stuff too. LOL And, the bad guessers might even drive some information out, Brad Sams basically told us about the Seagate storage cards to refute the bad Samsung rumors.
13.3TF PS5 incoming, since TF seemed to have some insider MoJo.
