Sony seems to have much more cash. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/02/business/media/sony-apollo-paramount-deal.html Sony will be majority shareholder of the $26 billion all cash acquisition. Will Sony continue to buy big studios now?

Is sub 100 GB/s LPDDR5X enough for 4TF Nvidia GPU? Highly doubt it..

Nintendo may choose LCD at 60 Hz and sub 100GB/s RAM.

Gap of power consumption between 5090 and GPU of PS5 Pro will also increase a lot since Nvidia 4090 already consumes 100W more than 3090.

PS5 Pro is more like a 4070-equivalent with GPU at 2.35 GHz.

5.5 GB/s SSD is very expensive in 2020, and Dual Sense should also cost a lot more than other controllers. It's reasonable to reduce cost of GPU and CPU. It is interesting if game developers see the design choice of next-gen consoles what would they choose? A console with better controller...

Cyberbunk ULTRA RT has 1080p 68~69fps with a 4070. We can expect PS5 Pro has similar RT graphic. https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2023-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070-review?page=2

The choice of design depends on business model and sales number.

It's still far behind Pro because 1.5x Seriesx only has 1.5x RT, without any hardware upscaling. But it costs still a lot. What ms needs is a completely new series s2, backward compatible with seriesx, with Zen 5 CPU, RDNA 4 GPU and good upscaling, and then completely replaces seriesx.

It will be interesting how PS5 Pro will be used. For example: 4K/40fps low RT 1440p/60fps RT then PSSR upscales to 4K 1080p/60fps RT MAX (like Cyber 2077) then PSSR upscales to 4K

It's the problem of optimisation which causes 30fps. Lowest 1% framerate with 14700KF can drop to 33fps. PS5 first party games and exclusive games all support 60fps. It's standard now. A lot of switch games are 30fps only. There is no comparison.

Xbox needs < $399 consoles. Business model already becomes subscription, and what is the main feature of subscription? Cheap, cheap. Cheap game, and cheap consoles. So xbox needs $399 series s2 and a $399 handheld console. High performance console does't fit xbox business model.

Recent years 60fps already become standard of console games. Commercially most PS5 games will still have 60fps for better sales.

2x performance can just come from more advanced process. It does not count other improvements.

Next-gen xss 2 is way more attractive than a refreshed seriesx. If xss 2 has ZEN5 CPU + 12TF RDNA4 or RDNA5 GPU + better hardware upscaling, there is no need for series x. xss 2 just replaces series x.
