That's interesting.. You may very well be right.
While true, he is someone who is very reliable. But as someone said, he may be predicting only things he doesn't know

It was the same shit when he revealed that HZD was coming to PC. The amount of people that discredited and shit him on just because Horizon was coming to another platform was disgusting.
I believe no one knew the EXACT numbers for both systems before. But that just me.
For a Sony guy it's remarkable you haven't heard of PS Now.
PS Now is the Gamepass equivalent and it's not available everywhere and also terrible.
Hype-deflating tweets for sure. Backwards compatibility was up on the wishlist for me as someone who owns a lot of the "Classics" on PSN as well as a huge backlog from PlayStation Plus. Would have been a nice selling pitch for PlayStation Now to have PS3 titles downloadable as well.
Flops are less worrisome for me. I am buying both the XSX and PS5 day one unless something crazy happens.

Well, the Xbox was also pricier at launch and haunted by that horrible PR campaign. But fanboys are gonna fanboy anyway, so who cares?
Doesn't the first point counts for BC for PS1, PS2 and PS3 games?
I mean, isn't that expected? MS has been chasing the power crown ever since they have been embarassed by Sony in 2013.
People were surprised by the hw in xsx and predicted a 499+ price point. I really don't see Sony going for such a price again.
For the most people, price is what matters first and foremost.
True. I'm excited that the power floor has lifted dramatically this generation!
Oh I am fully aware they don't really know that much about the industry anymore I was just them as one example.
Said before and I'll reiterate that the new Xbox will have the power crown, even if they have to upclock or take a sizeable loss on every console. However, I'll also reiterate that it's really not the whole picture; games and features are always far more important
He gets a Razzie for his overacting...He was probably reaching for the Oscar. :)
2022, maybe even later. You're not gonna see a brand new GoW with just a 3-3.5 year dev time.
Remember when the original Xbox destroyed the PlayStation 2 because it was a lot more powerful? Me neither.
Games will always be the deciding factor above all else.

Try to use some semblance of critical thinking. The Xbox One was $100 more, despite the PS4 having a 40% performance advantage and launching at the same time.
How important any performance delta is will depend on how big that difference in performance is, and whether there are any pricing differences too.
Each generation has had a difference in performance between the consoles, but the most powerful hasn't always been the most successful for a reason.
I don't, but I think it's silly to base your choice of console on, while there are al these other features and new games to be excited about. If that's so important to you, than buy a used PS1/2 and hook it up. I mean, you can even play some of that old stuff on your mobile phone and tablet. But hey, each to his own of course.
If the specs are different, the pricing will be the deciding factor.
Hope we get some early sales this gen unlike the previous PS4 domination.

Lower TFLOPS != "hardware is not as good".
As Jason's said over and over (and I agree with), there's more that goes into a console than raw TFLOPS.
Yep, you don't know.
If you did, you would've known that the Xbox One came 30~40% weaker while costing 100$ more.
If the PS5 will be weaker but cheaper - zero problems.
this gen it was literally a difference of games being 720p on xbox and 1080p on PS4 in a world where 1080p TV's were the standard. it made sense for it to be sore point.
but now, even with the current mid gen refresh systems, the difference between checkerboard 4k and native 4k on a 4k screen are barely even perceivable unless you zoom in 200% (as DF regularly need to do with their analysis in an effort to create a talking point)
next gen will be that...but even less noticeable. the PS5 would need to be stuck rendering at 1080p while series X was 4k native for the same sort of uproar to be heard. and that doesn't seem likely to me. even if it was a 9 vs 12 tf comparison.
PS4 vs XB1 was like a 30% gap in GPU though, if we are talking 30% gap between PS5 vs XSX that would put PS5 around 8.5 TF which would be an absolute disaster. 1 or 1.5 TF gap would be a much more reasonable proportion nowadays
I'm not sure it matters "A Lot", but thanks to websites like Eurogamer/ DF it does matter, mostly for multiplatform titles which comprise, what, a least 90% of the titles released?
I remember the bloody carnage around releases like Dragon Age Inquisition where they somehow crowned the Xbox version superior because the PS4 dropped 1-2 fps during gfx heavy effects like spells, while it was a constant 1080p vs the XB1's 900p.
That's why in a way it'd be a lot better for everyone if the GPU/ CPU and Memory for both systems are really close, but we'll see.
It's complicated...there was so much not to like about the XBO at launch, but I have trouble thinking that the average consumer was all that concerned about teraflops and 1080p vs 900p. The only reason enthusiasts were arguing over that stuff was because there weren't any good games for either of those consoles until Bloodborne came out in 2015. HUGE on-ramp last generation.
What sank XBO last time was launch $100 more expensive w/ nothing to show for it. People will pay more but you have to give them a good reason.
I had PS Now for awhile and it was great for what it is, but saying it's the equivalent to Gamepass is interesting. Sony isn't ever going to put God of War 2 on PS Now the day it launches. So while the two services are similar in what they do, how they do it are vastly different. They aren't comparable, at least not yet.
And MS has A LOT of things besides raw TFLOPS, did you see the xbox reveal? its a monster.
Yeah, that is a given.
New games for PS5 is what I meant. And no, not just exclusives.
Believe me after struggling w/ my valve index and Windows drivers for the better part of a week, I'm right there with you. Ready to just have an iMac and a console.
