I see little talk around the presumed performance disparity between XSX and the PS5. A ~15% size difference in the SoC is no small amount. Combine that with the ~1.7TF documented shortfall, there will be interesting performance differences. I wonder will there be an appreciative benefit for the...

Perhaps Sony wanted a consistent experience with every console - basically they don't want massive speed and latency jumps when people move to SSD's, to provide a uniform experience for everyone?

What are the chances of these speeds being improved with further firmware updates? I assume if its based on FreeBSD, most of the I/O stuff is already well optimised, perhaps? But as I say that, there strange sata on the USB thing probably changes the dynamic. Whatever the further changes, the...

Will the PS4 be easier hacked compared to the PS3? Seeing as the architecture is much more familiar this time round.

Does anyone know what a normal yield range would be per wafer? Are we talking 80%? Lets say sony disabled 1 CU etc, how much extra yield would that realistically gain?

They could surely include most native English countries then for day 1 release (Only assuming that they could manufacture enough). So US,UK,Ireland, Australia, Canada.

Anyone that is familiar with the ins and outs of manufacturing/lead times/distributions etc, do you think it is remotely possible that Sony could do a worldwide holiday release? Was it purely stock levels that stopped the PS3 from having a simultaneous release? I saw something about...

How will Sony implement security this time round?

In terms of 'modest performance', was the PS2 modest hardware at the time? And was it priced accordingly?

Could this be where the PS4 is hinted? http://www.sceainvites.com/

Just as an aside, how long does it take to design a custom cpu from the ground up, and what size of an engineering team are we talking? Be it IBM, Intel, whatever.

The 3DS that is, not RE...too scary for me, i'm no good with those survival horrors :D I will watch someone playing them but I won't play them myself.

Is anyone else salivating to see what Sony's responce to this is in terms of its CPU/GPU for psp2, its gonna be wow.... If RE is real time on the 3ds, im buying it at launch :lol:

Very, very good sir ! :cool:

Some 3DS VS PSP shots. Not great resolution though..
