I'm curious to see how this goes. I just wanna see how it compares to Series X and hopefully they will have some tech demos. Maybe upgraded PS4 content that demonstrates some of its capabilities. Stuff like 4K/60 fps GoW, GT Sport running at 120 fps, Spiderman's faster loading, etc. They could steal some of MS's thunder if they show new games, but that's likely coming later.

Honestly, if the tech specs are all they're going into I doubt I'll care much about the presentation. Eagerly anticipating PS5, but I just care about games and features, not RAM and processing speed. I do wanna see what this little baby looks like, and hope beyond hell it's not that V-shape we've seen.

Well the specs are part of the potential of games. However, it certainly doesn't need Series X power for more ambitious games.

I wonder how this will turn out. Xbox seem to have a strong transparent showing by comparison. Sony appears to have more people keen to make games for their system.

Finially, but if his going to talk about halving the floats again like he did with the PS4 Pro i am going to facepalm.

Did you have that same energy when MS talked about 25 TFLOPs at half floats? Rapid Packed Mart is a legitimate thing, you know.

I didn't know MS stated 25TF bu halving the floats. Can you link me the article? Was it in response to Cerny saying the Pro is more powerful to the X?

FFS. Cerny never said that. You are misrepresenting what he said.

Mhmm.. A bit of a coincidence to mention that the PRO can achieve 8.2TF if they halve the floats.. Sounds like a counter argument to the rumoured 6TF the X was coming out as. A bit strange to mention such a useless stat. Anyway, I want to hear some good numbers from Sony, not how powerful the machine is when halving the floats.
