Where does Sony use Windows? They haven't made PC devices since early 2014 when they sold off Vaio. Maybe internally but that is like saying Microsoft uses Sony displays and video cameras. Neither of those things are equivalent to working together.
But Microsoft is working on VR just not for the Xbox. They have a broad selection of devices from OEMs that are using their VR reference design. Supporting Xbox and not working on VR are different things. . In fact Microsoft is all about Kumbaya within the VR industry supporting an open VR/AR API which Sony is not part of the last time I checked. It may end up meaning Microsoft won't be about supporting one particular device but allowing all those that follow an industry accepted open ...
You think they should be there right from the jump? To sell to what market base? PSVR barely reached 4% of the PS4 user base. 4 million out of 100+ million console owners. 4 million sure sounds like a big number but, not compared to what I am pretty sure are the adoption rate numbers Sony expected. Sony even said as much at the investors meeting 18 months after the PSVR release (when they had sold 2.25 million or what was 3.8% of the user base at the time). Also, even Sony didn't hav...
You mean how Disney is throwing money and people are buying the results.. You may not like the results but, Disney has had 6 films making over a billion dollars each in 2019 and that was before the recent Star Wars movie came out. So it will most assuredly be 7 films easily exceeding a billion each for 2019.
AAAA has been used multiple of times by others outside of Microsoft. It just representation of expense and size. I would call the next GTA a AAAA game maybe COD. The...
The only problem is this patent looks like it is applied to the current DS4 design not the DS5 controller design that we have seen in other patents related to the next-gen controller. You'll notice it has a micro USB port like the DS4 not a USB C port like the DS5. It also appears to have the light bar still in place when other DS5 patents have it removed. Which most likely makes this is an utility patent. That means if affects something that already exists and not something new. Maybe...

Just the licensing fee for the BluRay or BRUHD drive itself is over $10 and around 11 cents per disc. Which Sony has to pay as well (they just get a rebate check so to speak for about 15% of that later on from the BDA). The cost of the build for a BR drive is around $35 to $40 for the Xbox One X. Removing just the drive would force them to take a hit on the pricing of the console (they wouldn't just drop the price $35 but $50) which they may be already be taking ...
Two things that stop Microsoft from releasing it for testing on Apple until the very end of this beta. One, Apple has some fairly restrictive rules about beta testing which this type of large, long and broad beta requires. And two, because it is more locked down from access to the internals it is harder to collect the necessary data. Obviously, they will have a test phase but, probably closer to the scheduled release.
"Sony says PS5 SSD is faster than PC equivalent."
I am all for PS5 having fast SSD. However, a PS5 will not best a PC when it arrives. Nor will Series X best what is available for a PC. There is a reason Cerny said what he said back in May and that was because Sony were planning on using PCI 4.0. Which was not officially released and available for PC until months later. So, technically with nothing available at the time he was stating a "fact" (quasi fact) that...

If you count the Switch as 8th gen (which is really Nintendo's 9th gen machine) you seem to be ignoring the WiiU who is in last place and forever will be. Not the Xbox One.
The PS4 was not sold at BOM (build loss). It came in under actual costs by $18. However, it was sold at launch loss. But, that is not unique. All items that come to market are sold at a launch loss. It is the expense you put into development of the device and delivery to stores. It gets paid back after X amount of sales of the device. In the PS4 case it was paid down less then 6 months later. After that every console made a profit and every game sold for every console made Sony money. B...
What evidence do you have about shorter or quicker iterations from Microsoft pushing a PC model into consoles? Isn't it the PS4 Pro that came before the X. Seems to me that was an earlier push. It is not like the PS5 is coming out a year after the SX. So this gen lasted the same length overall for both companies. This gen is not not much shorter then very long Xbox 360 gen ( 8 years). Which was actually longer then the PS3 gen (7 years). So, what evidence other than fanboy logic do you...

"Wrong, the difference here is that I'm not attached to one company not a fanboy "
Please, your history on N4G tells a different story about not being PS fanboy.

You must not buy a lot of electronics. The "Series" term is often applied to devices. Sony has "Master Series" they use for their top of the line TV category of devices. It is not unusual in any way to see this type of naming. Maybe new applied to consoles but electronics or just devices in general (especially with multiple power/quality differentiations) it is not unusual. If I said I have a 9 series you would know that is top of the BMW food chain a...
The PS5 devkit looks like a toilet seat more then anything else. It is not even a 5 (as V, PS5) that people make it out to be. You would have to flip 180 degrees facing away from you to be a five. Otherwise it is a lambda. Which may not go over to well if the PS5 devkit ends being even remotely close to the final design because a lambda is the symbol of a large white nationalist group in Europe.
@Atom666
Actually that is how it named, just Xbox. The addition of" "X Series" is like other electronic devices that apply monikers like "Platinum Series" or "Pro Series". X Series is just descriptive term for the level of the device. I don't know why people are having a hard time understanding that. It is like they have never actually bought other electronic equipment before.
