Well they seemed to have confirmed no backwards compatibility with ps1/2/3 unless this is added later right now does not exist which makes me sad... Sadly the SSD isn't 1TB, 828gb is odd, wondering if that is including the normal compression, or without cause otherwise it will be close to 750gb useable. hoping they let us have an internal increase like they often do, like a 1.6TB ssd.
Though it was semi mentioned that in theory game sizes could be smaller due to compression and not duplicating files. So that could be intersting.
Unsure about the audio, not sure how they can make sure everyone gets good audio, so have to see how they do this.
Powerwise got worried about the 36 CUs but cause they are clocked so high it is still going to be fairly beefy system, they sadly just left some questions open. including what it looks like, and what the cooling solution is. Or even how backwards compat is going to work and if there will be improvements to run older games on the ps5.
Edit: Also is this pure 8 cores, or 16 cores with 8/16 smt cause that was never confirmed either

More technical info than anyone asked for yet no price or even showing what it looks like?

Consoles have always been great 'deals for the buck' if they're speaking of floats operations, which they obviously most likely are, with 10.3 TFLOPS they would end up on par with RTX2080.
I have no idea how much they will sell it for, but if for <600$ you can get a full gaming system including that much performance, it's a no brainer, there's only ultra high end PC which will still makes sense - or just games that require a mouse and keyboard? 😕

Both these systems look like being a seriously impressive jump from the previous generation. It looks like the "PC users where gaming ability is required" market is about to take a very significant hit. AMD, Intel and Nvidia etc seriously need to rethink component pricing to try to offset this.

how many have NOT been happy with PS/2/3/4?
and it will leave a "noticeable" hole in xmas gift funds\ for most, but if im willing to spend almost half a grand,
i wont change my mind just because it has x "less" than they expected, or because the xb has "more"...
you have the funds or not, you play the games (coming out) or not, same way it was with the last 4.
backwards compatibility is fine for ppl that have a broken unit, (but like many others i always sold my games with the console),
but only as long as its not "limiting" anything for the newer games.
not willing to spend half a grand on a console only to play "blocky 6 bit games" on a 4K tv, an emulator can do that just fine.

This sounds great! For me because I expect game developers to better cater towards highly threaded CPUs. Since I am sitting on a 3800x with 16GB of ram I hope a new GPU will land me in a sweet spot later down the line. 🙂
