This is my thinking. If it runs BC games as well as the Xbox Series X does, then it's going to be a fantastic legacy Xbox system.

Yup. Personally I don't see myself spending that much money for a Series X.

Ampere/Turing based Switch upgrade? With DLSS?
That would surely make an impact.
I wonder when the bank that is handling Xbox All Access will start to charge people? When the consoles launch or when the person joins the program? I'll probably be joining on September 22.
if it works like it does for current gen, you start paying 30 days after you get your console
Apparently Sony is having some yield issues with the PS5 SoC.
Edit: Sony has since denied this report.

Basically, how many usable processors you can get from a single wafer. So if yields are low then they are scrapping a lot of the processors they make.
I wonder if the GPU part of the PS5 reaching 2.2GHz was a last minute decision to shorten the gap to xsx.
And now they are having trouble finding enough silicon that is able to reliably hit 2.2 GHz while upholding the thermal design limits they envisioned for different performance levels.
I also wonder what this means for their profit margins. XSX being more powerful for a lower price would be an interesting scenario. Or maybe they put themselves into a scenario where they have to eat heavy looses with each PS5 sale. Would they be more interested to release older exclusives on PC in such a scenario?

I assume so, very interesting to see how it will look compared to World.Monster Hunter?
Okay, unless i'm just not seeing it where did Nintendo say they were going to "cutting edge" hardware in today's presentation?
Everything i've seen so far just suggests they are going to continue looking at new and old technology and using what seems fun and fits with their ideas.
Nothing i've read has me thinking nintendo are going for £500 RTX PCi-e 4.0 Secret Sauce IO with crazy TeraFlops performance like the other two.
Did i miss something obvious?

It seems like Nintendo just chose a really long-winded way of basically saying that they'll just keep on doing whatever they're doing. You are correct in the sense that they're not going for something really cutting edge that rivals the PS5/Xbox Series and they'll probably just stick to their hybrid model and their partnership with Nvidia.
So, we're 45 minutes out until the PS5 conference. The battle lines of price and tech will become clear for the first time since this gen was announced.
Is anyone..... you know, actually excited for this. Not just intrigued or curious but certifiably hyped? I'm not. Not even a tiny little bit. I had forgotten what time the announcement was and even convinced myself that I'd heard the price of PS5/PS5
E was $500/$400.
Maybe its my general low mood eating away, or the weight of years but.... Lets get down to brass tacks; PS4 2.0 is a fantastic business decision that leaves the success of the product completely at the mercy of unknown, unreleased and untested software. No interesting service like gamepass or xcloud, (PSnow is garbage) promises of "advanced controllers" (likely $80 a fucking pop) so revolutionary that all DS4 are disabled in the presence of a DS5 controller. When you've got fanboi's arguing over SSD speeds and acting like a 1oTFP gpu will do any meaningful ray tracing at 4k..... I need to know what games are coming out ASAP and no some cross gen upgrade path digtal delivery who the fuck knows. Nope.

I've never been less hyped for a console generation than this one.
I'm pretty happy with my Switch as far as consoles go. What Sony does or doesn't do is interesting, but I doubt there's much that will impact my purchase decision at this point.

I'm not that hyped about this upcoming generation, but I am going to get an Xbox Series S at launch. The reason why is because Microsoft is offering Xbox All Access and I need something for a living room to watch movies and play games.
I'm curious and interested to see how it all shakes out, the tech is interesting and the spec is high for consoles so this gen will be good for those who game on consoles but am i excited? Not really, i want to see some games and cool stuff before i decide whether to go for a console but there'd have to be some damned fine games for temptation to kick in before next year.
As a techie i'm interested, as a gamer i'm curious but as a customer? Not yet.

I'm completely happy with my PS4. I've got the expanded storage, second controller, a kick'n library with major releases keyed up and a slew of stuff I'm waiting to get. PS5 is coming in to fuck up my console gaming feng shui.
PC and switch sounds like a match made gamer heaven. No need to worry about BC, as the PC is BC and the Switch is zero BC. They don't overlap on the same display, no question of what system to buy which game for..... perfect.
PC and Switch really is an excellent combo, you're right. But I'm a comfy couch PC gamer so they do overlap on the same screen. I'm also a desktop PC gamer. And a portable device PC gamer. In-home streaming is rad.
But there are some things that Nintendo does so well that owning their hardware is almost always essential for someone who loves great games. I think Switch is their best console ever, and they've released some fantastic games on it.

PS3 had a line up that convinced me to get a PS4. I even bought one on day one.
PS4 had a good line up, but I started to feel a fatigue after Spiderman and especially Days Gone.
So my excitement level is rather low, chances are high I'll get a PS5 down the road but not this year.
Maybe not even next. Nothing screams system seller to me currently.

What can I say? I get around a lot.so basically 50 Shades of PC gamer
I am wondering if we'll get anything more about Xbox Series S | X before it goes on preorder? Like maybe the rumored discless version of the Series X or a list of games for launch?
€80 for PS5 games!
What a grift
Edit: I woke up and I am still not over it. What a joke.

Yes sir.€80 for PS5 games!

Also like everything is crossgen soooooooooo
Don't even have a price on the DS5, I expect $80 at this point.
Hey at least we got our $500/$400 price tag all the peeps were chirping about.
Retailers are opening up pre-orders at 10 million IDR for standard PS5. Minimum monthly wage of my city is 3 million IDR.
It makes sense when your direct competitor is doing it and succeeding.
So EA, Ubi and Microsoft aren't developing blockbuster games?
Oh Sony. Their PR is through the roof today. Lol.
I know "arrogant Sony is back" is a derisive meme used to stifle discussion about Sony's cockups, but this really reeks of arrogance/hubris.
I fully expect Sony to backtrack on this like the "generations" talk and all the other times they've ended up emulating successful business models from their competitors. Just gotta give them time.
A very good Direct mini, and they confirm that more direct mini will be broadcasted in 2020. Judging from the line "these are the games coming this month" when they start showing the sizzle reel, it sounds like they are going to do it monthly.
Funny, without a Gamepass like service for PS it makes no sense to me to buy their console.
Sony really has their heads up their ass this gen.

If this video is a representative of the Switch version then Hades looks so much clearer on PC. Looks really blurry on Switch.
