SnowxSakura Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Smaller hard drive compared to the one x, but that's about it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Most of those specs don't mean much for us end users, it's potential for developers. However, for us: Internal Storage - Almost a terabyte. Cool. Expandable storage - NVMe SSD. VERY, very cool. External storage - Expected per previous consoles. Optical Storage - Expected as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astray404 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I wonder if the hardware difference between PS5 and Xbox SX is really that detectable or differentiable during gaming. Please correct me if I'm wrong lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quink666 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Can someone with some knowledge and no bias tell me if this is alot slower then the Series X? Will the lower specs mean lower price tag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPU mainly handles heavy game load whereas CPU handles system tasks. A faster cpu however does make a noticable difference. Linustechtips has videos where he benchmarks slower cpus and faster ones On gaming consoles it's all about optimization though Edited March 18, 2020 by SnowxSakura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A faster cpu *can* make a noticable difference. It completely depends on the developer which is why the answer is not just automatically Yes to the initial question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have a product on the lower end of the performance spectrum still be expensive to produce and thus have it reflected in its price. It's all about features, more features means a higher price tag 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

princefan2407 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Slower bandwith of RAM and less TF versus muuuuch faster SSD, comparable CPU and better 3D Audio chip. I guess it will result in lower res, but that's it. For me, playing on 1080p it's efficient enough. For numbers' maniacs though, I guess it's a little letdown. + They're not showing the console yet. I guess M$ wanted to dominate as quickly as they could, because normally, presentation at E3 would suffice. However, backwards compatibilty and games themselves is what matters and by far, Sony is annihilating. GoW, new Killzone and GT7 and Xbox is done, even if they will have to lower res on some multiplatformers or use checkboarding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT__Jedi Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 So disappointed in the dinky SSD, BUT, does anyone know what the architecture will support in the external storage? I know with the PS4 we are limited to 8TB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I would have liked it to happen, I figured that backwards compatibility for consoles older than the PS4 was always a pipedream. What gets me is that they couldn't even get full backwards compatibility with the PS4's library and it'll be limited to whatever Sony handpick themselves. I'm so disappointed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, those titles they picked have the highest chance to have used some specialized coding. If they can get those running correctly, everything else will run fine.

Slava Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) So basically, the Series X is more powerful graphically (more flops). And the PS5 will have shorter loading (faster SSD). Will wait for the first nextgen games to come out to look at framerate/quality and loadtimes comparisons from Digital Foundry. Interested to see how noticeable the differences will be.

CaptainMonkster Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Quite disappointing 'reveal' but tbf, it was clearly meant for GDC. Was really hoping for at least a look at the console, a release date and confirmation of ps1 ps2 and ps3 compatibility but there ya go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every single Xbox game You're correct yes but it wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft either supported more Xbox One games or even tried to make all supported since they've always been the best on the backwards compatibility front. 5 minutes ago, Alderriz said: So basically, the Series X is more powerful graphically (more flops).

PooPooBlast Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 As a person who is so/so with tech and plays consoles, those specs don't mean much to me unless they're put in some sort of comparison. Also 885 GB for storage space? :/. That leaves about 600 or so for games because the rest will probably be occupied by the system's software what with the "stability improvement" updates. I understand that the loading speeds will be much faster given that it's an SSD but I would've expected the storage to be on par or more than the current consoles not less. Games are only getting bigger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
