Its down to execution really. If they can execute it can be a success. At the same time ensuring a steady supply of titles that take advantage of the hw. I agree the steam deck represents a huge threat to Microsoft's PC gaming business, but I think to a lesser extent the Xbox consoles. The...

MS told DF when they showed them the Series X that it was indeed they're pro console! DF were also told to keep this a secret which they did until around last year. Releasing a Series X pro in 2025 would require prior years of planning of at least 2 years. According to the leaks from FTC they...

A "next gen" console even if some sort of Xbox Desktop in 2025/26 would be a catastrophic blunder especially looking at the current title line up. You wont get much difference between that system and getting a PS5 pro. The PS5 pro is going to be the best value for "high end" gaming until the...

Tom Warren from the Verge with his opinion about the future of Xbox.(https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/18/24123318/microsoft-next-xbox-pc-future) Some pros, some cons. My question is how are they going to manage creating software for multiple hw SKUs. As well how will bringing other stores onto...

Thats according to the leak not my opinion.

That will be 8K 30 fps PSSR 2.0 on the PS6 with path tracing 😂

That should be covered under point 1

https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/16/24131799/sony-ps5-pro-enhanced-requirements-ultra-boost-mode The verge just released more details on what will be required for games to get the PS5 pro enhanced label. Essentially: If a game was running at 1440p on the base and its pushed to 4K on the pro it...

Agreed, a next gen system in 2026 would be blunder. People will just buy PS5 pros. They need to launch closer to the same time as the PS6 and for now just focus on building a library of titles and cross gen next gen titles. 2028 would be a good year. Biggest change for next gen hw will be the...

Its not that devs didnt give it more attention. Its that MS decided to launch two consoles at the same time with different amounts of memory despite console titles having very strict requirements compared even to PC releases. Remember there was only one devkit which was a Series X and developers...

Quite interesting that the CPU will only max out at 3.85GHz. I trust Sony knows what they're doing. This system will be seamless for developers to utilize.

X had more demand and S had more supply so sales were 50:50 for first 3 years. Should be more Xs sold since 2023 since X is more available now.

Yes, you're correct imho. If they're launching a device in 2027 by then a lot of things will have changed, particularly what processor microarchitectures will be available. Looking at their push to ARM on windows, this could have implications on what kind of CPU the next gen system will have. As...

This is interesting. Especially for a handheld. hmm, RDNA 7, thought the RDNA roadmap ends at RDNA 4 and they'll be coming up with a new microarchitecture.

Good points. A large amount of unified memory as well as well as great SDK gave it an edge over the PS3 in terms of developing games. Xbox 360 titles had better textures and thus looked nicer despite the PS3 having a much more powerful CPU. Sony's engineers were honestly impressed by the whole...
