First of all let me say I'm very excited about the coming consoles and will buy me a ps5 day 1.
But looking at the specs of the new consoles and I can't be the only one who thinks this.
The only components which are true generational leaps are the CPU power and the storage speed.
Ram we are going from 8gb to 16gb.... that's only a 2x jump. The jump from ps3 to PS4 was 16x.
Gpu performance we are going from 1.8tf to 10.2tf.... that's a ~5x jump. The jump from ps3 to PS4 was 8x.
The jump in storage space is even smaller. We are not even getting a 2x jump from the last gen and the games are certainly not getting smaller.
I am no expert but I play video games since the 80's and from the rough numbers we are seemingly getting the smallest jump ever. It is even smaller when we factor in the pro versions of the systems.
What is the reason for this? Was the same jump not possible from a technical standpoint or do I have a failure in my thought process? Why just a 2 times jump in memory when we were getting normally 10-20 times of a jump for example....
