Still.. I think MS has the better idea with a set amount being faster for games, and another amount slightly slower for OS and less necessary functions. I'd say it's better or equal. 448GB/s guaranteed across the board... 560GB/s for the first 10GB and 336GB/s for the last 6GB. Edited March 18, 2020 by lynux3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno about that. There's plenty that doesn't require that speed... and yet the functions that DO will have more bandwidth on Series X. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,238 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Looks like a solid $399 console. They needed to get the main storage speed locked down now, because if they do make a Pro model, its bumping up the GPU purely to achieve higher resolutions and framerate. Couple of years from now, this machine goes down to $300, and a PS5 pro released at $450-$500. Also, if Microsoft does release a lower clocked version, like a 4TG Lockhart, at $299. people will still think that this at $399 is the sweet spot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lynux3 2,106 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Here's the real bullet points, not this 100 games only bullshit. Sony tested 100 of the most-played PS4 games and found most of them ran straight out of the box with boost mode and should be ready for launch. PS5 is too fast for certain titles though. Boost mode happens naturally as a result of playing on the PS5 but this boost cannot be handled by certain games due to their code which is why they need to be tested and tweaked individually to ensure boost mode works but results have been "excellent". Rest of the PS4 games will run through legacy mode (essentially the same as it is on the PS4). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If MS could hit with the right games around launch... they could swing a few. It will take years of solid consistency though to really make a difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
