thats great but xbox scarlett uses the same cpu in a custom setup just like the ps5 so not sure why we are distinguishing it as a ps5 thing...

and i quote:
"Microsoft has announced that the new Xbox console will be available by the end of 2020, featuring the exact same AMD architectures that are slated for Sony’s PlayStation – which we’ll call the PlayStation 5 for ease. Both will offer the latest 7nm AMD tech, ray tracing, and contain an SSD..."

basically it will be a repeat of last gen. Same CPU (slight modifications for each console), Same GPU (slight modifications for each console).

That would be interesting as Phil Spencer stated numerous times that Xbox would have the most powerful consoles going forward. Always interesting to see how he could guarantee this. But if Xbox doesn't have a slight edge then his talk was yet more of the same.

@ramiuk1 to be honest I am more interested in seeing whether years of talking from ms turns into anything. They are promising games and power, the question is whether either will eventuate. MS have a lot of ground to make up in order to win over the millions of gamers who have deserted them.

@conan I'd grab a brew whilst you wait mate, been waiting since last gen. It's always been the same talk with the same results, next gen wont be any different.

He could always delay the release by a year and guarantee a more powerful system with a hardware upgrade. But Microsoft can't afford to give Sony a year head start.

You see, the ps5 studios will actually do the most with the new systems. I believe even if the scarlett is more powerful, the ps5 will still have the best looking games. The ps5 will have more exclusives that look better then anything on Scarlett.

Because the topic was about PS5 and the developer responded to the question asked and not the question unasked?

Exactly this. I don't know why some people are bothered that he wasn't asked about Xbox.

There's really no need to defend the console since the CPUs are going to be extremely similar in the two systems.

This is really important because the more graphically advanced games have become, the longer they seem to take to develop. Imagine if Rockstar was able to release more than one game per gen again!

But he's saying it will only be reduced because they will spend less time on optimization. That means the game could have been even better/bigger had they spent the time to make the best use of the power and features available.

Does it guarantee that the Menu screen is going to lag like on PS4? Because, that sure doesnt look nice when you promise a strong CPU and Ram.

Don't know what all this PS4 menu lag is? Get a very very occasional slow down. But I'd pick that over my X any day. MS menu is far far worse. And don't get me started on the MS store lag which is appalling...

I only notice it when the system is doing something in the background like installing a game or update. The sub menus in the info screens when you press down from a game icon can sometimes not load immediately, but that's downloading content from the net.

Otherwise, I've never had a problem with menu lag that I'd call consistent, and even when it does crop up, I wouldn't call it so slow that I would go on forums complaining about it.
