I see, you are an expert on everything, but actually know nothing. You just make an assumption after just making an assumption without any proof.
Effing great posts.
In USA only. In The UK it outsold by Switch and all Xbox series consoles.
Why in the hell would it be 4x the base consoles when the ps5 didn't even launch with twice the tf power of the xbox one x?
It will be a nice CPU bump and price will be key, likely high on one sku
Even if the specs are "proper next gen" (lol this is 'full rdna2' all over again, please learn from history already) there is not a single proper next gen game to take advantage of that hardware.
No doubt, but the CPU bump is the one component that can be a much larger leap than PS5 Pro (or Xbox Series X), but people vastly overestimate the impact the CPU will have on gaming. By far the biggest visual leaps will occur on the GPU side of things, and there's not going to be a generational leap in 2026.
Bro you did not just take 7nm, divide it by 1.4nm, and take that to be the performance improvement...
That's not how node scaling works
source
From 7nm to 2nm (projected) TSMC expects an 80% increase in performance. Performance doesn't scale linearly with transistor density or node size.
Yeah, not gonna happen lol
Yeah that's the thing. Console form factor and BOM cost reduction pressures exist. Sure theoretically you could make the PS6 draw 600w and have 5090 performance, but then you're talking about a massive chip, massive cooling, massive PSU, massive weight increase (higher shipping costs)...you're gonna be paying $1000+ for the thing. And if Sony isn't taking losses, maybe more.
Let’s be serious, times where we get a big AAA next-gen exclusives at launch are well past us, first 2-4 years of next xbox and ps6 will be mostly cross gen for games that are expensive to develop. We might get some next gen enhanced titles (remasters, remakes) like PS5 had, but jump to next gen will not be huge, look now - we are looking at games rendering at less than 1080p and being upscaled, lots of 30fps games if go quality/fidelity over performance mode (even on PS5Pro). Graphical improvements this gen from previous gen (ps4, Xbox one) are visible, but they don’t look gen apart (like we are used to seeing), there are almost no new gameplay concept, everybody forgot about environmental destructions that imo. can take a game to next level if implemented correctly. We are getting games that look little bit prettier than previous gen for most gamers, unless you play with FPS counter and zooming 10x, while entering photo mode every couple of minutes. We have got UE5 which current gen consoles are struggling with, we have got bullshit RT on console (yes, it is there in some titles but might as well be removed - wish for proper path tracing on sonsoles one day - do it properly or don’t do it all if it affects performance).
I am expecting nice CPU bump, with big dedicated NPU (Ms is investing heavily in the AI space incl. devices focused on AI integration) and AI used beyond upscaling. GPU - I am expecting RDNA6. (RDNA4 top cards will apparently will be a level of 4080, as AMD decided to chase Nvidia with improved RT and frame generation instead of straight power increase, so not expecting big leap until RDNA6).
Most likely reason would be cost. There's even a possibility they'll both fab on 3nm. Right now 3nm wafers are ~$18,000, 2nm was expected to cost $25,000 but now costs $30,000 (and reportedly getting another 10% price hike next year), and apparently 1.4nm is rumored to cost an estimated $50,000 per wafer. You're not getting 3x performance from going from 3nm to 1.4nm. We'll have to see how much extra 3nm/2nm supply comes online with TSMC's arizona fab which is supposed to finish in 2028, but it's still going to be expensive no matter what.
Both Xbox series and PS uses:
I do think Sony is more efficient at whatever process they have for manufacturing consoles, unless Microsoft was lying (highly unlikely) they attested to losing $100-200 per console during the FTC/ABK stuff, at that point I'm pretty sure Sony had already said they were breaking even on consoles. Even if the Series X has more expensive components it's hard to see $100 more in material costs, so either they're not getting as good contracts or somehow Sony has optimized their production to cut a significant amount of cost.
You'd qualify for a job at Sony with those redacting skills.
Preorder available for me?
Maybe because you’re looking from Argentina
Enjoy the info I guess
The Xbox zealots like to pretend that the Xbox one VCR never existed.
Cost — BOM
Because it usually between 1-3 years for this to change, latest is more expensive.
It is all depended on the target release price of PS6.
I think that Sony might have simply went with higher initial contracts and showed much better sales from last gen to get better prices.
The PS5 SSD isn't WD. It's KIOXIA chips with a Sony SSD controller. At least it is on the launch PS5. I don't think it's changed since then.
