Just curious.
Right now, with all the info available,
would you exchange the PS5 specs for the XSX ones?
I would not
Not a chance. Sony has the far more interesting piece of technology. Initially I was disappointed because of the numbers. But now that it's been a while and I can actually sift through the 10 feet of shit to get to the truth about what Cerny was actually saying. (I woke up at 2am to take it in, and not much stayed)
Seeing it being broken down the way it has by a lot of good info in here and other sources helps me see where Sony was going. They've poured years into all of this technology, and it interests me a lot more than the Xbox side.
Microsoft has just gone biggest and best on an affordable product. They have a monster machine with a lot of customization, don't get me wrong. But they haven't put the same amount of effort in the actual hardware itself.
Sony said to themselves, how can we create predictable efficiency in thermals to push the CPU and GPU to their max speed. They did it, thats exactly how their power delivery works.
They also knew that an SSD would be going in there from the 1st PS5 briefing 6 years ago. They still pushed and created an SSD technology that is industry changing.
We already know what big power gets us. Resolution! 4k Native wow! 60feps omg! So many refreshes!... it's almost at the point of indiscernability.
But I want to see what sort of games we can get with SPEED.
And that's what interests me about their philosophy. And with it They are the only ones who can create an experience that isn't possible on
any other platform. Until they catch up.
Sony has sort of made something I didn't think I needed, and it's amazing to see the devs coming out and saying how much changes for them too. By developers choice we will get these experiences faster this generation, or we will get game world's we can't even imagine yet, because of the extra efficiency and time.
You can call me what you like, but that's how I see this. I can't wait.
