That's close to the dumbest thing I've heard in awhile.
Pricey - It's a shame that people can actually have someone explain something to them, and their heads won't take it in because it doesn't make sense to them.
Damrock - Go and watch the PS5 Deep Dive video again, this time pay attention.
Mark Corny is not hyberbolic or a shit talker. He is a dev at heart and a genuine smart man.
ms has designed a powerful 'traditional' console, Sony has gone and changed the way devs can create their vision into a reality.
The proof will be in the pudding, 1st larty games on both systems will be where it's decided - and we all know who has the better devs.
Just in case some people don't, the answer is Sony.
PlayStation consoles have traditionally been a little weaker - it's the quality of games that have got them over the line.
A big deal was made of PS4 power advantage because it was also the cheaper console. And Sony highlighted games and the positive response from devs. The other mob promoted TV and other terrible, terrible bullet points that ultimately got knocked on the head.
Mark is the smartest bloke in the room, Sony 1st party devs optimise thei...
I think you've commented at the wrong website - what were you thinking?
Surely if your buying a new console an optical port is not needed, HDMI is the way to go.
Budget gamers would already have an xbox, it's the cheapest of all current gen consoles - and the least selling.
No need to rush out and grab an xsx Mr and Mrs Budget concious - the xbox you already own will be enough for at least 2 yrs after the launch of xsx.
Buzzwords, buzzwords, buzzwords - Phil Spencer.
Here it comes - xboxs biggest ever holiday games line-up - rinse and repeat.
ms really needs to employ - under promise, over deliver - it would serve them well going forward.
timotim - ok mate I've tried to be nice. YOU'RE the one talking semantics, you silly drip.
THIS IS A NEW CONSOLE GENERATION, THIS IS NOT A MID-GEN UPGRADE. 3RD PARTIES HAVE HAD CROSS-GEN TITLES SINCE PS3/4.
Yes I'm completely, unequivocally, happy to buy a mid-gen upgrade if it's going to improve my gaming experience.
I'M ALSO HAPPY IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT SONY WILL RELEASE A NEW CONSOLE IN THE FUTURE AND SUPPORT TH...
Angelic - DJ - don't you remember how hard ms pushed 'The Power Of The Cloud' - you also must know who was front and centre in that charade.
You guys really are gluttons for punishment, Phil lies to your face on multiple occasions and you give him a free pass.
He's a salesman without integrity, a spineless company man - wish you guys could see through him.
But alas you need some hope I guess.
If Sony released a new console - not an iteration of a current gen console - I'd expect it to be supported day 1 with exclusives only playable on the new console.
It is not 'the same difference' - don't you understand what a console generation entails?
They have a beginning and an end. How hard is this to follow?
Either way Sony AND Nintendo will still outsell the xbox family of consoles.
i3eyond - Just can't see the rush to upgrade to xsx. I can see why some will, like you said it's what some people do.
If someone has a xonex - and xsx boxes say xboxones, xboxonex, xboxsx supported - can you see why some wouldn't be in a rush to upgrade?
That's brilliant mate - PS4Pro was never sold as a new generation of consoles.
Don't twist things for the sake of it haha
Just offering some solid advice - and I only spoke the truth. Also highlighting there is no deciding factor - no one needs to buy an xsx for 2 yrs!
A slight segue to speak of my intentions, this is a place where opinions are welcome is it not?
DogsBower - Really? Beyond all the rhetoric of empty promises, the overblown and BS claims that were perpetuated for most of the gen - Power Of The Cloud being the most obvious - was and is an absolute lie.
Maybe because he lies with a straight face, and keeps doing it. He's a grub.
If you've got an current gen xbox your covered mate - they'll support you for another 2 yrs! How's that for pro-consumer.
I'm looking forward to seeing the PS5 exclusives, so I know what to buy on launch day with my brand new console.
There's a reason Sony didn't show his name during the PS4 reveal. He's been a dirtbag for years and he still gets away with it. I'd lose my job, take a day in court and crack the prick.
He's too slimey to be done the legal way
But of ms was involved with their vast amounts of cash it'd get to where it needs to be faster.
There's no easy money in VR and nothing is a given, THAT'S the biggest difference between Sony and ms.
ms struggle to make a decent new ip, they've tried to address that by investing in studios - still no guarantees they'll produce hit games.
VR development is the same thing, you've gotta approach development in a dif...
