That is old news now.
The series X blowing heat out of a vent, which is designed to blow out heat, to cool the console, surprisingly (to some) is blowing out heat.
Just shows the cooling solution is working to a tee.
Terrible for the playstation consumer yes.
@boxer
You do realise you can buy gamepass games with a discount if you are a sub right? (if they are leaving)
Gamepass is great exposure to indie and smaller studios, the amount of games i have downloaded and played where normally i would never give a second glance is astonishing.
Yeah getting all microsoft 1st party which now includes all bethesda titles is anti-consumer lmao.
I understand how polls/studies work, you get used to that in the UK.
Remember when all the studies/polls pointing to the UK voting remain?
Look how that turned out
Point being, they claimed it was "representative of the US gaming industry" which is false, you need a larger poll of gamers than 511.
It is quite simple :-
Get a PS5 and have the option of extra SSD storage - will have to open the console to install, or pay someone to do it. (Does doing this void the warranty of the console?), how many people will buy one, and make the mistake of buying one that is not fast enough - or use any external SSD/HDD on the market.
Get an xbox series X and have the option of extra SSD storage - Can either buy the 1TB expansion seagate card - or use any externa...

"It's not on par even just price wise, this is an unfair statement."
They are both around $220, last time i checked, on par means
"As good as, equal to, as in This violinist may be an amateur but he's on a par with professional orchestral players. The noun par has meant “that which is equal” since the mid-1600s; the idiom here was first recorded in 1832."
You missing the point Sully
Regardless of whether SSD's compatible with PS5 get reduced, Microsoft and Seagate will reduce the price of proprietary to match. What makes you think proprietary storage costs will not get reduced?
You think the average gamer (parents/kids etc) would be confident opening up a £400 console to expand the storage for the console?
At least Microsoft are the only company that is thinking of the gamers energy bills.
Gamers are going to save a fortune on heating.
On a serious note, yeah, my one X blows hot air out the back, i would not expect it to be cold, just shows the system is extracting all that heat generated, so the cooling system is functioning as designed.
Lets jump on these companies if we start getting console failures due to overheating, which as of yet...
Sigh
I was saying the price is on par with the proprietary, i mentioned absolutely nothing about the speeds of the relative SSD's.
Regardless of performance, it will cost the same for 1TB on either console, stop triggering so quick.
If you own a Series X, you are not going to be saying "but the PS5 SSD is better performance, i might get that" because you can't.
On par with MS proprietary.
I think i will just use my 2TB external and transfer when needed.
"Trying hard to downplay PS5 data (whatever it is) like in all the articles about the PS5?"
Please provide examples where i have downplayed PS5 data (which this is not) "like in all articles about the PS5"
Please i'm curious
I have been commenting how good it is that you can customize the PS5 and how it is a shame you cannot do the same with the Series X, is that downplaying PS5?
If it is jeez ...
Exactly!!!!
That was my first reaction,
511 people out of 164,000,000 is now "representative" of the gaming industry in the US.
So your saying both have games?
Not holding on to anything.
Everyone knows PS4 was way more popular than Xbox One.
"because they can take everything with them. They will not have to start fresh with the PS5."
Both consoles are the same in that regard (I think you are meaning game library BC etc)
But acting like 1 survey is representative of the entire US gaming population, is at best naive.
I would have the same response...
That is the most obvious statement i have read all day.
Microsoft have never sold well in Japan or China, nor do they expect to.
Can't beat a bit of moisture.
Unless it is frozen
So why are you here reading articles and commenting, about a console you will never need in your life?
