If they managed to emulate the Cell in a PS5, that would definitely be something to celebrate, yes. Sony would love that, it would make PSNow much cheaper to run.

No need to be concerned.
It sure is more fun than watching nothing.
Now people have a pretty good idea how current games play and load.
Pretty impressive to see unoptimized games go from +1 minutes loadtime to around 10 seconds.

Of course I do know how SSD and HDD are formatted. But they advertised 1TB so 800GB being available usable space means 200GB is taken by the OS after everything is said and done. Also Xbox OS is chunky, it takes 138GB on current gen consoles, PS4 is smaller just ~60GB.

A 1TB drive has ~930GB usable after formatting and before any OS is installed on it.
A 825GB drive has ~760GB usable after formatting and before any OS is installed on it.
The OS isn't taking up 200GB.

Why? The One X had the best performing multiplats & had the best backwards compatibility as well, i.e. with older games running much better (some with free 4k patches as well). So if there's an aspect Xbox fans have zero reason to be concerned, it's the actual hardware & game performance, past & present.
All the usual third party AAA titles are coming, as per usual. Plus gamepass, so 'new games' on the system aren't a problem either.

He is talking about that.
It seems it is confirmed the OS take around 200GB.
You are right... from the 1TB about 802GB are usable for games... 198GB is reserved for OS.

If I may guess, something with AMD implementation, like a new SDk, they nearly as proefficient in software side of things as nVidia is.

I don't care about what's space is usable after formatting. They advertise 1TB on the box and 800GB is usable from that advertised 1TB. Not that hard to understand what I'm saying.
Funny enough that a ps3 game with new graphics looks a hell of a lot better than Microsoft's biggest and most important franchise.

"we have the most powerful console ever made, here's how it plays old games"
WHERE ARE THE FUCKING NEW GAMES MICROSOFT? ARE YOU TELLING ME TO SPEND $500 PLUS TAX TO PLAY OLD GAMES? GTFO.
Where is the PC community outrage when a new video card releases that makes existing games play a lot better?
Is everyone mad as fucking hell because the new technology didn't come with its own custom new game built only for this technology?
Isn't it good enough that your new system plays all stuff (existing and upcoming) way better than your old one did?

Yes, because next gen games have embargos....
Do you really think that developers are going to just give out their games to jurnos to try out over a month before release?

First time buying a hard drive? They are never the full size they advertise.
You should also expect some form of a massive step down in storage space on PS5. I expect the 825 to be 700.

Cool stuff. Where are the vids?

Yeah, but consoles, at least Microsoft side of things are in GiB, which means that it's divided by 1024 and not 1000, so that means, that even games takes "less space", but rather they have smaller number in size.

I think that is VERY likely, borderline guaranteed if it's using dynamic res.

Most likely it's due to the Velocity architecture, it seems to reserve storage for a "cache" type of system

its not by session though, you could have 3 games in "quick resume" and be able to open and close them where you left off for weeks or forever, so you will not have to sit through a beginning sequence of all logos everytime you wanna play!
Quick Resume is actually a very cool feature

Some of you are really embarrassing. Do you think all the 98 percent of the same games coming for both PS5 and series x won’t come out for the X because console wars?"we have the most powerful console ever made, here's how it plays old games"

Still blows my mind
MS:here's are new console....but you can only play BC games no new games.
Like I get it you want it in the hands of alot of influencers and what not but like I feel like they needed to give some kinda demo something even a forza track a flight simulator demo show that power off

A vid from Microsoft in the next few weeks would be nice, PS5 has shown Call of Duty, maybe MS can have CD show Cyberpunk 2077 Series X gameplay in a new Night City episode or something

A couple points 1. They seem to be forcing a slow drip of info here by limiting what they can talk about 2. These are supposedly not final consoles so they wouldn't want reviews based on a non final product. They are, again supposedly, coming soon. Probably the last thing they will release to keep a sort of cycle of new review content/pr.

Doesn't sound like any of the games getting real XSX upgrades (Forza or Gears 5) were available in the preview.
The hell are you talking about? I was just letting you know that the people who are releasing the previews isn't holding back on next gen games because of a embargo it's because they didn't play the next gen games at all.

I don't think so. I think the OS is chunky like current Xbox OS but they also have to reserve some space for the quick switch feature where you can switch between 3 to 5 games. There is no cache type system at play with Velocity architecture.

Are you going to call out Sony when they advertise 825Gb on the box and you're left with less than 700GB when you turn it on?
This is the case with EVERY HDD. Anyone who doesn't know that HDD usable space is lower than what's on the box is being disingenuous.

Wow lots of Sony fans jumping in with the typical BS. "bbbbut old games!" I'm glad it's getting previewed now. New games will come eventually (see Bethesda acquisition). As someone that's going to get a PS5, I am disappointed in the information I received from Sony versus what Microsoft has given me about the Series.
