I added the link to the article I read about PS5. My numbers are almost the same as Bloomberg’s. If Sony can produce 3-7 Million PS5s with part shortages and a lower production run. Why can’t Microsoft with the Xbox Series X at full production run and no part shortage do double the numbers of production?

Don’t let your fanboy in you. Blind you from logic and critical thinking.

Come on dude. You talked straight to the point about logic and critical thinking. Then you blurt this out:

I believe the Bloomberg article mentions some parts being difficult to produce

Please show me 'some parts being difficult to produce' in that article. You use none of the logic you talk about. Have you even read the bloomberg article today ?

The IGN article uses all its sources from Bloomberg article - has no new information.

And the only Microsoft production rumour I have heard is where Official Xbox France Staff said production is underway. That was in May iirc.

EDIT: I have listed the Bloomberg article here twice before. Gonna link it again, hope you read it.

Bloomberg: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...an-limited-playstation-5-output-in-first-year

Now, this is the MS production rumour. Around 16th May.

Not trolling, just being silly... =p
 
Made up just like he made up the June 4 event delay! Good thing that he was wrong and the delay never happened!
Because I made reference to that info and not the one I'm talking about, obviously. Honestly, do tell me, why him being right on something makes him right on everything else? I'm always fascinated by that kind of logic. And it's fairly easy to see why production-wise specific timelines he was talking about cannot be met. Or maybe that Covid stuff didn't happen either.

People gladly take the word of those who have been proven wrong many times as long as they agree with what they want to hear. There's finally someone right about something, and now you don't believe them because it's not what you want to hear.

I don’t believe him because the claim Xbox entered full production in February isn’t true. Nothing to do with what I want to hear.

Thing is, I don't care about people taking the word of whomever they see fit, it's about what I think. And, since you're referring to it, same as I didn't reply badly (you can check on that if you want) when he talked about the possibility of the delay, because, well, it made perfect sense and he could very well be right, as he was, now, given, again, the circumstances and the timelines he was talking about, I think he's not right on this, and he's pretty much basing it on nothing, hearsay. So, I don't have an issue with him being right, same as I'm gonna call him or whomever out when I think he's dead wrong. And if time proves he's right, I'll have absolutely no issue in admitting it. And just a little heads up, I'm gonna buy both consoles day one, so whatever you think I want or don't want to hear, is probably wrong. I only care about one of each consoles having my name on them on a pre-order, not how many millions of consoles they expect to make or sale.

I don’t have a problem with people bringing questions and asking me questions and where I got the info to make those statements.This is a speculation thread. With the info I have read and the rumors I heard. I proposed and speculated. I Gave them the numbers I heard and Numbers that made sense. I stated that in the original post that some of it was hear say and rumor.

They only Factual info I have on the Xbox Series X is what Phil said on a podcast. When he said they was running full production. The Xbox number came from a rumor of a memo stating Xbox wanted 10-15 million Series X produced in the first 6 months. I have tried to find the Xbox Series X rumor and the Picture of the Memo. I haven’t been able to find it again.

I will try to search again after my pedicure appointment and after I go out to get something to eat.
 
i dont know how automatic these advantages are for PS5... but they said same thing about checkerboard and literally no 3rd party dev used it (not even sone 1st parties didnt use it)

And I have no quarrel with you, as I said, if time proves you right, I'll have no problem in admitting it, same as you were right saying the Sony event could be probably delayed. I don't know if you had a source, or it was an educated guess from something you heard, but I don't care, you were right, and that's fine. It is equally fine to me that if I see something that doesn't add up in my eyes, I'm gonna call it. For me it is not about believing someone, it's about believing something.

Cerny has merged PS4 and PS3. The good thing about both. Not the bad.

PS5 is "friendly". More than PS4. All this "new" technology works automatically without your realizing it. The tools already take care of it. You do not have to worry about how to manage the data. It is done "only".

The only thing that changes in the face of the developer is the way of working some aspects in content generation, and it changes for the better, not for the worse. So it is not bad either.

That is why Epic said that it was necessary for PC to adopt this new architecture for the future, one way or another it is necessary.

I know that it was said recently that the creation costs would be higher than in the last generation, of course, but without this new architecture the costs would be higher than those that "could" be ("could" because nobody forces you to work in that way). way, it is only an option, although it would not be very smart to have a technology that allows you to do more in less time and therefore less money and not use it).

And regarding "why" ... because it was absolutely necessary to prevent the costs of creating a video game from reaching unsustainable levels in the future. In addition, in this way better results are achieved in less time. The visual difference between one and the other will not be limited by the machines themselves but by the love of the developers and their budgets. But as I have said many times, we are reaching some quality points where it is difficult to distinguish between 15 million polygons and 17 million, YOU will not notice the difference (Digital Foundry yes, always).

And I will ask you a question.

If you could make "fake" 4K look the same as native 4K, why would you have to waste power and energy using native 4K? The only logical answer you could give is "because I have paid for a 4K TV and I want my investment to be used."

To which I would ask you another question.

If technology allowed you not to be able to distinguish between 4K and "fake" 4K, would you prefer native 4K with less detail and fewer frames per second? Or would you prefer "fake" 4K with more detail and more frames per second?

These are questions that perhaps a user does not stop to think (perhaps), but that a developer must ask himself many times.

Also don't worry, PS5 might be more expensive, it's just my opinion. It is not a confirmation (I think I said it before). And that price difference does not have to be substantial compared to the competition. It could be just as costly as it is cheaper. I'm also not an expert in putting a price on things. Because also one thing is the cost to the user and another is the cost to the manufacturer that has been agreed, and if you agree with the manufacturer a number of units you can get cheaper prices (I think I understand, I can be wrong), especially if you have participated actively in creating that hardware for which a second company will benefit in the future (AMD). Therefore, the price is an absolute unknown. I think it could be the more expensive of the two, but it is just that, a belief. And just because PS5 can be more expensive doesn't mean XSX is cheap. One may be 599 and the other 549. But we return to the same, personal speculation.

I hope I have clarified any questions.

Bo_Hazem Bo_Hazem , I have a conversation pending with you.

Wonderful input, as always, with rational points that people need to think about. And I'm eagerly waiting for that pending conversation! 🙌
 
My Info For the Xbox Series X. Came from a bunch of different sources and rumors. Rumors stated Microsoft started production of Xbox Series X retail units production in small batches in December and full in February.Phil Spencer himself one a podcast said the Xbox Series X was in full production. There is also a quote saying that Xbox Series X was ahead in production. Rumor states Microsoft wants 10-15 Million unit produced in the First Six Months. It’s honestly is very doable and realistic.


Also Just because Microsoft Produces more consoles at launch over Sony’s PS5. Doesn’t Mean Xbox Series X will sell more.
15 million that is not a realistic number for 6 months .... man you principal competitor sells is selling 3 times more right now and even the switch sells almost 5 times more.

Even if the you sell more than Sony that doesn't mean you can reach those number because you also are against Nintendo Switch in holydays. I can understand Microsoft
is optimitcs but one thing is that and other believe you will overpass Sony 2:1 while the world forgets Nintendo so you will able to sell all your production.

Actually produce a lot more is because you think you will sell a lot more, each XSX in the warehouse cost money. I could believe 10 millions as a limit for be realistic
specially when you in front two brands a lot more stronger than you in that market and many countries will have recesion for Covid+Petroleum situation.
 
What is a man to a king?
What is a king to a god?
What is a techtuber with 10 million subs to the creator of the Unreal engine?
Yes I know.

The problem is Tim cannot say or explain better how the PS5 works without break the NDA, doesn't matter if you are Linus,
even if Linus got to the point to understand how works in the background the PS5 because Sony send the documentation
he cannot say it in a video for the same reason (NDA) at least Sony wants.

Agreed. I think some forget how many laptops are manufactured in a year, 15m in six months isn't that big of a deal.

Any mention of more than one sku in production or...

The company has told assembly partners it would make 5 to 6 million units of the PS5 in the fiscal year ending March 2021, according to other people involved in the machine’s supply chain. When Sony released the PlayStation 4 in November 2013, it sold 7.5 million units in its first two quarters.

Dude's not having it lol


Tim Sweeney generally responds to questions like this but I’m not surprised he shut Linus down. He must’ve seen the video where straight up the guy said Tim should stop ‘trying so hard’ to sell soap for Sony as there are already existing SSDs in PC space which are faster than SSD in the PS5. He then left the room to fetch the said SSD and proceeded to gloat about proving them wrong.

I mean see this for yourself.
