I don't in Canada. But without a release date or price it's kind of hard. Like...
"Coming this fall. A console at sometime, with some price and some games and some features... And you can't preorder now!"

I'm hoping so too. I would love a Project Scarlett Day One edition!
I'm actually a little surprised this thread managed just shy of two months. It feels like it's been a lot shorter than that. If someone told me this thread was started say, five weeks ago (and I was too lazy to go and check myself), I'd believe them.
Feels like it's really whizzed by.

Quick reminder, the Xbox One X Project Scorpio begun preorders on August 20 (was presented during Gamescom) and released on November 6th 2018. So I have a faint hope that this might be the path for Series X/S again
it really does feel like that, doesn't it. Especially when you take into account the gap between announcement and then showing of the showcase etc.. add lack of console news and you would think it would have taken a lifetime to pass, but it really hasn't felt all that long.
I have to admit, I like how ballsy Nintendo is by pretending they have zero plans for the rest of the year.
"Oh, you guys want video games? Sorry, we don't make those anymore. Please enjoy more Animal Crossing updates!"
Oooh, good shout! Yup, I'm now going to hope that is when we will hear and fingers crossed we get something like a Project Scarlett edition!
Well...
... it turns out I can't read :D
I've no idea how I managed to misread that, haha.
Hahaha
Yeah evidently me too! ;)In Amber Cladmember: 47110 said:
Are either company marketing their new system yet? I haven't seen anything in the US outside of enthusiast gaming spaces.
Ha, and I even did check. How did I read that as June :D
But at least that explains why it felt like this thread had moved faster than I thought ;)
lol yeah. Can't wait to see 500 pages on a blade of grass in the background looking slightly better on one console vs the other.
Blades of grass is sooo 2017. We're all about refracted lighting now.
"Loads in 5 seconds: 5 Stars"
"Loads in 6 seconds: unplayable shit"
Seen Ps5 plastered all over the rink during a hockey playoff game last sunday thought it was pretty cool.
And if not that one, the one after that or the next one after that, but no later than the one after that! ;)
I was going to go with 2.3 seconds and 2.7 seconds.
Really 2.5 seconds is a threshold where you must throw your plastic box that plays games out the window.
I simply see it as Microsoft went raw power. Sony went fancy new SSD. Devs haven't used fancy SSDs so in the future maybe they can use that to compensate for some of the power difference but until then XSX will be easier to dev for
The real question would be : if the PS5 SSD is twice faster than the XsX SSD, and the loading is "instant" on the PS5. What would be the loading time on XsX ? What's "instant x2" ? less instant ? instant but not that much ? Noticeably instant ?
The SSD will never close the gap between the two, that's wishful thinking by some. The truth is the XSX will have the better looking mutliplat versions 99% of the times, but the differences will be very small in most cases
Yeah, that last bit is important. Enthusiasts may care, but for the majority of players it's not gonna matter. It's not even gonna be like the Xbox One VS the PS4 where Xbox versions early on sometimes struggled to hit playable framerates at HD. The PS5 might resort to fake 4k, but it'll be exactly as playable as the Xbox version, for most people the difference between true 4k and checkerboard won't enter in to it.
Ah ok, I wasn't sure and thought it might have been another alt account case.
I had the same feeling until Shinobi's post of the delay, now I'm not so sure. I really hope you're on the money though!
in normal times I would agree, but everything i'm hearing now points to September for MS, maybe Sony pull the trigger in August?
