What will be PS6s unique selling point?

Why even bring xbox in this discussion? I already have a gaming PC, and every time I see a thread like this I want to puke for all the non sense.

Next gen we will have these consoles:
PS6
Switch 2 will he halfway through its lifetime, so count it as you want.

+ a bunch of deluded bots who think that xbox still makes consoles.
 
Exclusives are over on both sides if sony keeps releasing their games on PC. Hell even hell divers 2 released on Xbox series.
I've said this many times before - but this idea of 'permanent exclusivity' was never a thing with mainstream buying audiences.
18 of the PS2s top 20 sellers are multiplatform. The two that weren't - are both called Gran Turismo - so it literally had one exclusive in top 20.
And that's from a generation where 'exclusivity' supposedly still meant something.
Hell even with Nintendo - Switches by far the biggest sellers in first 2 years were all WiiU ports.

But I agree - the USP for the next round of consoles is a mystery - well it's already a mystery for Switch 2 tbh.
XBox PC only selling point is XBox BC (if we believe the rumors), which is in turn only worthwhile if you care about 360/XB games, so it's only a selling point for dozen of us on this forum or so.
 
Their games will be on the next xbox too! And will probably even look better lol
Their games will be on Steam, you inflamatory fool.

And by purchasing a PS6, you'd be spending half than on an Xbox PC to have access to both Microsoft's titles as well as day one PS Studios releases.

You think he is wrong?

Of course he's right, but what does that have to do with his original post? Why does the Xbox Magnus matter to people that want a PS6? It'll more than likely be more than twice as expensive, so we are mainly talking about two totally different audiences.
 
New Gran Turismo, huge God of War Rannarok Sequel titled "Loki". I just don't see anything major from SONY and PS6, ps4 and 5 were sweeping victories and explore nothing new.
 
A hybrid handheld like the Switch that can play all the games in your Playstation library.
 
Does it really need some crazy sales pitch?
It's going to run games better than the PS5, it's going to be cheaper than the rumored MS machine and perform way better than a similarly priced PC, and it's maybe going to have some smaller scale exclusives.

Don't feel like it's worth the upgrade? Just stay on PS5. Sony will still be taking 30% of everything you buy on it + $80 a year if you want to play online. That's where they actually make money, not the hardware.

Yeah personally I didn't take it as console warring because even for me that game in question will likely be a wait and buy it on PC (as I do several PS games) and not a system seller for the PS6, to him

And not telling you how to feel about his comment just saying how I took it

What's the big difference between the last MacBook and the next MacBook?

PS6 will be better than the PS5 in every way. That's pretty much all a well established brand needs to do.

USPs are meant for new brands, or old brands trying to re-establish themselves. Sony and Nintendo don't need USPs. They just need good products, good prices, good marketing hype and good games. If PS6 covers those bases, it will sell like hot cakes. The fact that another brand can technically and potentially play their games years down the line after no one gives a shit about those games anymore does nothing for people who prefer the PlayStation brand. That's a question only relevant to those who are not that keen on PlayStation IP to begin with.

Same goes for Nintendo. Same could have gone for Xbox. But they damaged and diluted the brand to oblivion over the last 2 generations with a series of unforced errors. Now they are back to the drawing board trying to redefine their USP.

Will they recapture the audience they lost? It remains to be seen. But it seems to me that they will be going after a whole new audience. Props to them for not throwing in the towel altogether.

Once you ask legit questions, it hurts the fanboys to accept it.

People will insult you, at which point, rest assured you have hit the hammer on the head 🔨
 
PS6 will be called derogatory names such as 'The Apple of Gaming'
Forum posters who don't own one will come into every thread saying Just get an Android, bla bla bla.

Epic games will continue to whine about store percentages.

Middle of the PS6 generation, China will launch their very own system using Nvidia technology. Better, Faster, Stronger, Cheaper.
 
A new version of dual sense with new features and a new feature for PSVR3. But really? To be honest, it is very early to talk about ps6.
 
everything comes to Xbox PC now so unless there's something very unique about the hardware, the exclusives edge is out the door

It was more him opening the question to GAF and then when someone gave their personal answer he shoots it down with a whole different video game machine. Like what's the point in asking all of us if you're just going to turn our answers around like that?

And do people even buy consoles or a gaming PC for one game anymore?
 
In the past, they might have been about drives, but what did the PS4 or PS5 have? As usual, it'll just be a more powerful console, and that's it.
 
Many of you say that this will be the only way to play on a console, but how is it different from the current Xbox, which uses a Windows kernel?
Seemingly, the new Xbox, unlike its predecessor, will "feature" all possible windows shit - glitches, bloatware, no physical games and so on.

Some "new groundbreaking" feature that has been around for ages, aka the SSD on PS5. Probably some multi frame gen feature that will be described as the "groundbreaking" stuff.

The "unique feature" that will make me buy one day 1 would be that exclusive Bloodborne remake!
 
Playstation has exclusive games.
Playstation has all the third party games, including one of the biggest ever (GTA6).
It's a very successful and well supported system. It's the best system to own despite the bullshit narrative some are trying to set recently.
 
It will have some truely unique "graphics" technology or controller gimmick that only 1 or 2 first party developers will implement at launch. 3rd parties will never implement.

And that will be the last we ever hear of them.
 
What is the unique selling point of next gpu and cpu.

Same reason here

Going back to the GTX400?

GTX 400 - Shader Model 5.0 which brought hardware accelerated tessellation support among other things.
GTX 600 - GPU Boost, Adaptive Vsync, NVENC, TXAA support.
GTX 700 - GPU Boost 2.0, Dynamic Super Resolution.
GTX 900 - Better NVENC, support for HDMI2.0, MultiFrame Anti Aliasing, Multi Projection Acceleration which allowed VR and Surround gaming to actually you know be viable, Async Compute Support.
GTX 1000 - Fast Sync, HDMI2.0b, SMP which improved VR support even further.
RTX 2000 - Real Time RayTracing, DLSS support, Tensor Cores for AI applications, Concurrent Integer and floating point operations, Mesh Shader support.
RTX 3000 - The RTX 3070
RTX 4000 - AV1 Hardware Encoders, Better DLSS including FrameGen, Shader Execution Reordering
RTX 5000 - MultiFrame Generation, Multi Instance GPU support

I could probably go back even further but you get the point im sure.
We dont know what the selling point of the RTX6000s will be.....but there certainly will be one, Nvidia generally have some unique feature with each new architecture.






What the selling point of NovaLake....if the rumors are to be believed a chiplet design with up 52 cores....possibly integrated NPU, Arc Xe3 GPU integrated too, AVX10 and APX support, prettty friggin huge L3 cache.

Nice history lesson. Too bad that console GPUs are stuck with the PS1 architecture and have no new features every generation. Fun fact, it's so much so that they have been brute forcing texture warping all these decades.
