Lol yeah like we conquered 4k already or something. We have gamers literally playing last gen fidelity in higher res's because console-only gamers dont understand how substantial the cost is for 4k/60 fps and RT.
Yeah this is why I'm glad I haven't jumped into PS5. Just seems pointless.
honestly that's what I hate about the last 2 gens, AAA games are more rare now and buying a console day one seems pointless since they don't see great games until further into the generation.
All depends on the power, but 4k60 for matrix demo would require about 3,5-4x gpu power jump and 2x cpu jump, so pretty much impossible even for 600, hell might be outright impossible, im expecting 2-2,5x gpu power jump and maybe 1,5x cpu power jump for 800, which would still be good deal vs 550 ps5
If u bump up resolution, like in ps4 base vs ps4pro case, its much easier, 1080p to 1440p is +78% of pixels, so ps4pro with its 2,2x gpu power and similar(bit faster but almost the same) cpu could easily do it, especially using checkerboarding "trick".
the PS5 is $400. or $500 if you want a disc drive

Cpu limits happen more than u think, ofc devs are smart and cut whenever possible to make it, but dont ever think those best looking games running at 4k30fps dont use cpu to max or close to max, especially when shit hits the fan, aka tons of npc's on screen, action sequences, fast movement etc, ofc if we talking 4k60, or even dynamic 1800p-4k in 60 we dont want 60fps with dips to 30-40 but actual solid 60 which means most of the time internally w/o cap those games gonna have to run well above 60.
It's a luxury product and as such it's not really about price. They don't intend to replace PS5 with that model and they won't have trouble selling it at a high price.
Close to 30% of the people who voted on the other thread say they would spend over $800 on a premium sku so that tells me it would be far from dead in the water
Granted but I still think there is a market for a premium sku
Ftfy
I think the thread title and the actual poll are throwing people off a bit as you point out with this fix
PC components you say? Would you even describe a $600 GPU as a premium product in the current PC marketspace where enthousiast players casually spend 1000$ to 2000$ for them just to graphically improve the few games they are actually playing?
Probably better if MS and Sony just release a new console with same specs, but double the SSD storage. Every generation has models with boosted storage space, so it's due as games are edging up bigger.

many ppl would buy it even fror 800$, 600 is almost same as base ps5
Both consoles are built with capability to easily expand storage. If im buying a new console, i want the cpu/gpu/ram gains.
Xbox ONE X has Dolby vision for gaming. A new SoC isnt whats holding PS5 back.
And the little birdies?
Watched it, DF's arguments make totally 0 sense actually:
For me, I highly doubt I'd upgrade to Series X v2 unless there was something better than some graphic/perf/RT tweaks.
Fair points. I'm seriously considering just going RTX 4080 PC gaming from here on out.
No birdie this time but you can pretty much bank on it
Back when we were still in the next gen prediction thread faze, I was entertaining the idea that the Xbox Lockhart was the traditional spec'd console and the Anaconda would be a balls to the wall powerhouse priced at a premium (around $799). It would be fitting if Sony was the console player to release such a product.
