Well they seemed to have confirmed no backwards compatibility with ps1/2/3 unless this is added later right now does not exist which makes me sad... Sadly the SSD isn't 1TB, 828gb is odd, wondering if that is including the normal compression, or without cause otherwise it will be close to 750gb useable. hoping they let us have an internal increase like they often do, like a 1.6TB ssd. Though it was semi mentioned that in theory game sizes could be smaller due to compression and not duplicating files. So that could be intersting. Unsure about the audio, not sure how they can make sure everyone gets good audio, so have to see how they do this. Powerwise got worried about the 36 CUs but cause they are clocked so high it is still going to be fairly beefy system, they sadly just left some questions open. including what it looks like, and what the cooling solution is. Or even how backwards compat is going to work and if there will be improvements to run older games on the ps5. Edit: Also is this pure 8 cores, or 16 cores with 8/16 smt cause that was never confirmed either

MonstroMart:

Maybe it's 1TB but a part of it is reserved for the system?

Do i need a gaming PC?:(:( Looking at the above... Price - wise

XenthorX:

Consoles have always been great 'deals for the buck' if they're speaking of floats operations, which they obviously most likely are, with 10.3 TFLOPS they would end up on par with RTX2080. I have no idea how much they will sell it for, but if for <600$ you can get a full gaming system including that much performance, it's a no brainer, there's only ultra high end PC which will still makes sense - or just games that require a mouse and keyboard? 😕

XP-200:

Game sizes should actually come down because games had a lot of duplication going on simply because of they way the old mechanical drives heads worked to reach and read drive data, but ssd drives remove the need for such duplication.

Ricepudding:

This is true, but we will have to see if games dont just increase anyway due to higher texture sizes or bigger worlds. In a lovely world i'd like to think we would see games that are a lot smaller but i dont know if this is the case. Also wonder why on PC we dont get an SSD vs HDD option where we could install a smaller game cause its going on an SSD

Loophole35:

Because of how they choose to use 12 VNAND chips the options for more would have required them to double again to 1.6TB which would have increased cost. This is why they went with this odd config. However can someone explain where they came up with 825GB? 12x64GB is 768GB. They also said there is a M.2 expansion avalible to augment the SSD that will basicaly have a "whitelist" of usable drives. This is better that the proprietary approach M$ is deploying.

tsunami231:

wait is that why they I read something about 825gb? that is less space then my ps4 has it less space then ps3 has it less space then my pc has, they can be serious about launching it with 825gb

WhiteLightning:

I think that is why it is gonna be cheaper then the xbox. you will still be able to add a second drive with the same speed though, so that is at least something. USB speeds or Sata would have been dramatic.

tunaphish6:

This is going to be an expensive piece of equipment, and unfortunately for the wrong reasons. Wonder if consoles are going to fall into the problem as PC's suffer, where developers like Ubisoft shrug their shoulders and say, 'we don't need to optimize our games,' and instead of citing, 'PC gamers can just build faster PC's', they're essentially going to use the buffed specs as an excuse not to optimize again. Graphic fidelity might improve, but it's still only going to chug along at 20-50 FPS.

tsunami231:

Game size will increase, 1TB is not enough anymore, if systems come with anything less then 2 TB I will be disapointed, then again it probably gona depend on how much more the propriety drivers are gona cost. Food for thought Nioh on PS4 with all content is like 55 gb, Nioh on PC with all addons is like 75 gb. so if game have alot redundant data why is so much bigger on PC side, unless nioh actual had higher quality texture then console did which it does not both are using same textures.
