Oh come on, people getting upset at a possible 8tf ps5 in this thread. If it does end up being 8tf are you saying you're not gonna buy it? The games will be great. 8tf NAVI with Zen 2 CPU and SSD will be a big leap over PS4 Pro and X1X 6tf GCN.
Because it is upsetting! More than 3 years ago, when the Pro launched, Cerny said that to afford native 4k at this point in time (in every game and without compromise), it would be necessary a GPU with more than 8tf!
Yes, i know that he was referring to the old GCN arq, but that doesn't change my point of view: RDNA has what, a 25% increase in performance? _ OK, now we have to add the increase in performance demand by next gen graphics (does anyone know how much it will be?), then add to that number the increase in performance demand of Ray Tracing! Then you have the 3D audio dedicated hardware _ we don't know yet if it's a custom independent chip in the APU,... if it's using the GPUs CUs for the task, then you can add one more figure on that percentage of the demands in performance!
Last but not least, and something that people tend to forget, PS5 is going to support the next generation jump in graphics and performance of the PSVR2, that we know nothing about yet, but I'm betting it will be pretty demanding if Sony wants it to be really next gen.
Because Phil is aware of everything that happens on Gaf...
Some of the posters here. Now I understand what Gamernyc was saying.
Lol of course they know what happens in the net, to gather public opinion, interest, feedback,... these companies obviously have a division, or a group inside a division, to gather that information. And im pretty much sure that someone in the position of Phil in Ms, has also personal staff to oversee his interactions on social media (so that he doesn't end up talking with rapists, murderers and the likes)!
Admittedly, the date could have been planned for February and been postponed due to the corona virus outbreak, which caused cancellation of many other events.
That's my thoughts exactly since the Mobile World Congresses cancelation.
There was too many people talking PSMeeting in February and where there's smoke there's fire!... But probably was canceled like MWC.
I stand by what I said, Xbox has to sell their platform to new customers a lot more than Sony has to sell theirs and they can't make those initial XSX sales without the power hype.
Of course the games need to utilize the hardware, but I think it would be healthy for everyone to drop the wet dream that the PS5 and XSX will be equal.
I imagine that it will be very similar to Pro vs X, and the Pro was and still is a huge disappointment.
I'm sick of good games going to outdated & underperforming hardware though. That's my biggest problem with Nintendo.
Dude, if that's your reasoning for why Xbox has to be more powerful, then you got it the other way around! It's not Xbox who has to sell the 'new platform' to their customers more than the other _ they sell their games on other platforms too! They sell on pc, they sell Minecraft on ps4 and Switch, they are already selling other games on Switch, and now they are expanding to even more platforms with Xcloud! They are not the ones that need to sell their console to sell the software... and that has been their official message for years now: what gives profit is the software sales, not the hardware.

, nobody said 10m was a bad number for anybody. LOL However, It isn't a good number for crowing about first-party dominance with a base of 100m+ users. First-party is limited to a single install base, obviously a system with a smaller base will generally show smaller sales numbers, even if games received a better response from their base, resulting in a higher percentage buying it.
