But if MS' software solutions really do close the gap by a huge margin then what is Sony charging you an extra $100 for the SSD in their console for?

Software can't change hardware numbers physically. It is what it is. That's well known.
Few years ago some people thought that DX12 on X1 will close the gap to PS4 and nothing happened.

Yep, i sound like an old broken record player now, but games, just show the bloody games. No more fucking PR shite.
Its so fucking tiring.
You call this PR shite? Creating the best possible console eco-system. Ok... Games are coming in exactly 1 week, I'm happy that they at least also keep pushing for getting the best possible value to customers. Sony has nothing that even comes close to this. If Microsoft delivers when it comes to games, they are so far ahead. But I agree that that's a big IF looking back at past-gen.
 
I read the entire piece and its amazing how they have whipped the narrative of building exclusive software for a new-generation of consoles as a negative.

Unbelievable with how much they take their audience for blind dingbats, it was just 1 year of cross-gen titles until it was 2. They are taking the piss with this messaging about inclusivity, you don't want to 'force' people to move to new gen and yet you're going out of your way with a cheaper SKU and All-access plan to accelerate the same transition? Like what?

I'm eager to know what their messaging will be when next-gen exclusives actually start to come out of their studios.

It's pretty clear. Gamepass needs subscribers, wherever they come from. Business wise it makes sense for them.

The fools believing that they are doing it because of some sort of moral compass can't be saved.
 
How the fuck are you guys so triggered by these Xbox blogs?

They have a game presentation next week.. neither console is available for pre-order yet.

Get the info, make a purchase decision. Some of you sound unstable.

Enlighten me with Geometry Engine in PS5 plz. And how it compares to VRS and mesh shader in Xbox. Really curious. 🙏🙏

Go listen to the Cerny road to Ps5, he mentions new geometry engine and most viewers think its old and switch of mentally.....

BUT if you listen carefully he says quite a few things about early backface culling, precedural rendering and the like. Most people missed it, he also says new a few times ....

Also tie that in with some tweets from teh ex playstation engineer now at Roblox, he also gives allot of clues.

I am busy.

Die hard fanboys don't like it when the other company gives amazing value towards their consumers.

Is Microsoft paying you?

Do you enjoy waiting at a bus stop only to find that the the bus never arrives.
Stop praising spin and pr.

Stop please, we have heard this crap a 100 god damn times.
The DEFINITION OF MADNESS. XBOX saying the same thing over and over again, then some saying see, they are AWESOME.

People are not triggered by them.... They are bored of them.

People just want to see games, that's it.

Is it to much to ask?

What do you mean? Is this the only thread you actually visit on this forum? I would recommend visiting the Xbox Showcase thread and read all the rumours. Next week is that showcase, stop crying about "show me some games" when you know that it's next week. You fanboys are ridiculous.

Also read the article, because they aren't repeating themselves. Show me where it was said that xCloud was coming to Game Pass. This was a rumour sure, but now it's out in the open. For $15 a month you get +100 games that you can play on Xbox and PC, day-1 access to all first party games, and now this also includes xCloud. That's new, and it's amazing value.

Where did you get the idea that Sony is charging $100 more for the PS5 than MS charges for the XSX? Didn't know prices had been revealed yet!
Care to enlighten me?

Also, if software can close the gap then Sony should try to make a piece of software that does the same exact thing, add that to the faster base speed of the SSD......

I have an extremely hard time believing XSX doesn't have the new GE from RDNA2. That would be crazy.

They haven't mentioned it so it's not in there! :messenger_winking_tongue:

They are triggered.

I also find them boring, so I maybe skim them and move on lol. like a normal human

We have a date to find out about games next week.

Right now, as for ME personally i dont see any value MS has over Sony. I

dont care about gamepass because i play only best games on release and i dont play bad games. And in gamepass youll have old games, bad games or MS games ( which clearly i dont care about at the moment, it can change next week )

Backcompatibility, smart delivery ? Make tlou2 and GoT better on PS5 and thats enough

Show me that value your talking about for player like me.
 
I hope someone asks him about why only commit to cross-gen software for only 2 years. If nothing is being 'held back', why even have a cut-off point? The devs at XGS are so capable of scaling from Zen 2 to Jaguar at drop of a hat, what is stopping them from doing so for beyond couple of years? Wouldn't that be even more pro-consumer? Nobody is left behind for the entire generation!

Die hard fanboys don't like it when the other company gives amazing value towards their consumers.

Who are you to ascribe what is 'amazing value'? Those with capable PC or Xbox One consoles? Sure! But, for those who are picking up a Series X at launch, are they getting full value for what they paid? No, their games for next 2 years have to be compatible to run on toasters from 2013. How is that a good thing for those who'll spend in excess of $500 to buy the machine? Also, what happens to this value when they drop this cross-gen mantra in early 2023? What happens to all this pro-consumerism?

All this talk is hot air for not buying the studios on time, development takes a lot more than just throwing money at it. Most of these studios cannot whip up an exclusive next-gen title in space of 2-3 years hence the tremendous mental gymnastics they are doing at Xbox. And somehow, folks are lapping it up. They had 5 years to get ready for this launch and it's amazing this is the direction they are headed into. It'll be hilarious to see the tune change when likes of HellBlade 2 start to hit the shelf.

I agree, that's what i imagine everyone is waiting for, its only a few silly billies that cry foul when they don't get the reaction they wanted when you criticise their beloved billionaire company.

Bring on the games, that's where the magic is.
Everyone can surely agree with that.

You will get more from your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership.
Finally, today we're announcing that this September, in supported countries, we're bringing Xbox Game Pass and Project xCloud together at no additional cost for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members.

The more MS subsidise their software ecosystem for free, the more I think they will not subiside so much the consoles as you cna upgrade when your ready and play on Xb1s.

I am expecting Lockart at 300 and XSX at 550, just my opinion.
 
I have an extremely hard time believing XSX doesn't have the new GE from RDNA2. That would be crazy.

I saw the slides from AMD I think that both have GE in them. It's pretty obvious that both Microsoft and Sony haven't revealed everything about their systems yet. If Microsoft does have the GE I'm sure they will talk about it in their hot chips event.

Well, judging by some comments here and on twitter...
 
Wow, the mental gymnastics on both sides is insane. Honestly, what the hell does it matter what's in the boxes that the other system doesn't specifically have? These boxes are so similar in power that it shouldn't matter about what's in the boxes. What should matter are what games each can play that you know about going in either at launch or in the pipeline. What also should matter is what you might need in terms of storage. Initial and upgrade option costs might matter to some, not to others. I have never once booted up my PS4 Pro or Xbox One X and thought, MY LORD, Look at those TFLOPS. I bet the other system would have been better/crappier running this. I have never once thought, thank the lord for this processing pipeline over that one. Load game.. play game. I've even played the same game on Playstation 4 PRO with some friends that I played on XBOX One X, and despite knowing the visual differences for a fact in action, I just didn't care. As long as I was having fun playing.

XBOX has more power than PS5. It's established. PS5 is likely to not be as strong in terms of Ray Tracing. That's established. I've seen some of the exclusives coming to PS5, so that's established.

For those on the fence between systems, some things may sway them one way or the other. For most on here, there is a brand loyalty that no amount of discussion will overcome. It's Coke and Pepsi, or whatever other two warring brands you want to insert. The only thing that bothers me about this stuff is when false information is being spread. I mean.. making shit up? Really? Lack of understanding the tech and then discussing it as if you do is one thing. Inserting facts and specs that have never been said by the mfr. is just stupid.

July 23rd might help inject better conversation into this thread by being able to discuss more of the games in the pipeline for launch or otherwise. I hope so. I know what Sony is working on more than I do MS. Exclusives sell boxes. If I see more exclusives on XSX, yeah.. I'll want to own both boxes, and I do not personally care which box is "better". I'm not spending other people's money, so I don't care which box they prefer. The only time I actually care about what box another gamer prefers is when I have a history of gaming with that person and I prefer to continue playing with them.

We want every Xbox player to play all the new games from Xbox Game Studios. That's why Xbox Game Studios titles we release in the next couple of years—like Halo Infinite—will be available and play great on Xbox Series X and Xbox One. We won't force you to upgrade to Xbox Series X at launch to play Xbox exclusives.

The games will be shown next week and over the coming months.

Games, btw, that will be playable day one with Gamepass and streamable online to all manner of devices including phones, tablets etc - for no extra cost.

In 2021 Xcloud moves to Series X servers.

It's a remarkable value proposition even if you just consider your existing library plus the 100 or so gamespass games, including Halo Infinite, Forza, Hellblade, Psychonauts 2 etc, etc.
 
Yea.. and the emphasis on the locked/stable clocks in the eurogamer XSX reveal was also totally not an answer to PS5, which was publically revealed after it. This was also about the time Microsoft started talking about using the SSD as RAM extension, which Sony elaborated later in more detail. This is, at the very least, a strange coincident.

So the same coincidence that Sony is focusing on SSD and IO while Microsoft was touting 12TFLOPs?
Some stuff is reactionary and other stuff is just your bulletpoints anyways.
 
CrossgenSeriesX

Get the hell outta here with that "force you to buy a new console" garbage PR. All of a sudden how the gaming industry operated for decades is somehow wrong. MS is in damage control mode.

Sony just increased production for PS5 to 10Million. Shows who's really confident moving on to the next generation.

Very important event for them. This will make or break people's decision to either get the Series X at launch or wait later down the road for one. For me, I'm not taking chances on trying to hunt these Consoles down post launch. Day 1 Bayyybeee.

I hope MS willl show gameplay demos instead of snazzy trailers after trailers. Let us see Medium and the SSD traversing engine!

As for graphics, im expecting really sharp and beautiful, but may not be a big departure from current rendering techniques.

11 Everything running on XSX hardware, not representative PC hardware. It's not that I doubt it will look as good, it's more what it says about their readiness for launch and the speed of development.

Agree. I'd like to think that they learned from their last event so that it turns the tables for them. Up until that May event, they were pretty much dominating the conversation I thought.

No Greenburg
No low res webcam or shitty phone video recordings
less BS talk
NO contrived interviews with devs by PR people who try and use the same buzzwords like "super excited" like the last event
Actual gameplay on the actual console not PC's and cinematic trailers in engine or CGI bullshit
No awkward shit or shitty cringe so doubling down on no Greenburg or Major Nelson

I've heard it has already been pre-recorded and more event-like than fireside chat being streamed.

You see this is a good post, None of the pr crap.
Exactly what Fans of games want to see.

Microsoft's repeated emphasis on backwards compatibility is extremely suspicious. I can maybe understand wanting to revisit Gen 6, since there were still a few drops of creativity and originality to be wrung out of the industry during that period, but what does Gen 7 have going on that's worth anyone's time?

By the time that era rolled around there were only like 5 different kinds of game left and you've been getting a new version of them every single year. It's not like this thing plays Game Cube or Dreamcast games. What kind of cultural pedigree does XBOX have outside the trailer park that could motivate any interest in it's "classic" back catolog?
 
Probably won't due to the existence of the digital edition which Microsoft has no answer to. Not to mention Sony just increased production so they are expecting it to sell well. You don't do that with a system that costs over 500$.

When you have a huge pre existing fanbase that blindly defends everything they do then yes, you can expect them to anticipate selling lots of hardware even at 599.

Not saying at all that XsX will outsell them, but I do expect MS to be more competitive price wise than Sony because Sony doesn't think they have to. Jim Ryan already said to expect it to not be cheap because of the experience we are getting.
