Going from the usual 16x Ram increase down to only 2x is the biggest issue.
Thats an 8x decrease from whats normal.
No the SSD BS marketing dosent solve that problem...youve been lied to.
I guarantee u if ps5/xsx had 32 gigs of ram(its more of a vram really, for the most part, actually, since its shared between cpu/gpu and its not ddr4/5 ram but gddr6 so the kind u get in gpu's), and still only had this kind of weak gpu/cpu combo they do now- barely nothing would change.
U will have clear indicator with upcoming ps5pr0, it wont have 32gigs of ram, at most it will have 24 or maybe even less, but how good games gonna look is dependand on something else than vram/ram, aka gpu/cpu upgrade vs base ps5.
If u got too lil of it then it has big effect on games, but once u got enough then it doesnt matter.
More Vram is way more cost too, just look at recently launched rtx 4060ti with 8gigs, msrp 400$, and in a month 16gigs variant is launching, msrp 500$.
Fast ssd sony put into ps5 is godsent, but like always- u need that big cpu/gpu upgrade for actual better graphics, we did get at least 3x cpu upgrade over jaguar, the thing is- it was so weak even back at ps4 launch in 2013 so downclocked/less cashe r7 3700x seems like its very strong in comparision.
Gpu wise, especially if any RT is happening, both ps5 and xsx(not to mention xss that often has rt mode scratched off) suffer most, vs current topend PC rigs(cant be helped for now, those were 500$ machines back in 2020, gotta be patient and wait for ps5pr0).
