I remember back when Sony said they have an SSD that's faster than anything on the market, a lot of people including PC Gamer got salty. Guess Sony really knew what they were talking about and delivered.
Not just Asia. PlayStation is a known and a trusted go-to brand when it comes to home consoles outside the U.S. and U.K. It'd take Sony a monumental failure to end up second.
True. But a GPU at 2.23GHz? On PC, especially AMD cards, that's unreachable unless you use an aggressive, top of the line custom liquid cooling. I wonder what kind of cooling solution they used? it surely is something interesting. No way you'd achieve this with normal heatsink and fan.
I don't get all the 'doom and gloom, disappointing, MicroSoft has it better' comments.
Xbox's backwards compatibility launched publicly in November 2015, so they had 5 years to slowly make Xbox 360 and Xbox Original titles available to the program. It also only launched with 104 Xbox 360 supported titles. Doesn't seem that much different from what Sony is doing. Sony is just a bit late I guess.
@Hungryalpaca, I think I worded this wrongly. I am not including all the other accessories and peripherals. Here's a fast breakdown:
CPU: 3700X - $320
Decent Heatsink&Fan: $80
Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max - $115
RAM: 16GB G.Skill Trident Z - $90
Storage: Intel 660p Series 1TB NVMe SSD - $105
GPU: Aftermarket RTX 2070 - $420
PSU: Decent 650W Brand - $100
Case: Decent Chassis - $70
Total cost: $1,300
...
Yeah, $800-$900 if you buy them used and put them inside a cardboard box. You are looking at, at the very least, $1,400 for those specs without any insane RGB, additional fans, mouse, keyboard, headset/speakers, and monitor.
Look at the top 10 best selling games every single year. Almost always no exclusives. The majority of people buy consoles for their cheaper price and convenience. Many buy for exclusives, no doubt, but it's like icing on the cake for other regular console gamers.
Cats are more popular pets in Eastern Asian countries, so naturally they'd show more cats. Should I call American games for their anti-cats propaganda, showing dogs as lovely companions and cats as assholes that you can kick their butts (GTA V for example) or no cats at all?
You won't notice much difference between PC and Consoles versions of any game in a still image. Only when you play you do. Better level of details, sharper textures during movement, no motion blur, customisable Field of View, and most importantly (at least to me, it's the most noticeable difference between console and PC) much, MUCH better draw distance.
