M$ seems pretty confident about their new hardware. I wonder if the PS5 will be a lot less powerful. The XsX has a 300 Watt PSU.

Cant wait to hear the Sony is going the proprietary SSD too, because 1tb SSD isnt expensive enough, I am really curiosity about how much BC PS5 will have or will be only PS4 games Would love to be able to play entire "playstation" library on it instead of having to disconnected and reconnect system. I still use my PS3 and PS2 PS1 😱 I expecting 350~400 price tag too

I think most "next" gen consoles start off with 300watt power supplies, I just how both MS and Especially Sony dont use shoty PSU that cause horrid Coil whine (Looking at you PS4 PRO)

300w 80% plus = 240w actual consumption of the equipment. 300w 90% plus = 270w ...

Backward compatibility is also available today for selected titles on ps2 and ps1. I do not think you can insert DVDs in the new reader, so compatibility won't be for physical media. Even if you could insert they probably won t let you since the original hardware protection would not work. I m happy if ps4 bc is 100% and on discs.

It would from HW and SW perspective best generation ever.. but it would be still locked, one purpose device, without mods, multitasking, fps monitoring and other choices.. and i would be noisy.. so i still hope that more and more will be clever to use pc as main platform.. Im will buy this PS5 too, but only because of exclusive games, nothing more. Nintendo Switch now make more sense.. there are some PC alternatives like GPD Win2, but there are too slow for modern games which were tuned for Switch, but you can get whole you Gog / Steam etc catalog of games without pay for same games premium price again..

crap is gonna get real if we get PS3 compatibility. 1, 2 and 4 should almost be expected. Also Sony has almost always been consumer friendly when it comes to the internal storage. I don’t expect to have that change.

If this will be the case, I'm geting myself PS5 asap. But then again, as a PS3 owner, I will probably get it regardless.

I really hope we get ps3 compatibility, I still own my ps3, but i'd be great all on one console... even better if it also gets to make use of the hardware, that would be perfect!

I do not understand guys if you expect to have compatibility with discs or from the ps store.

This so much.

How many will have actual discs? If those games will be available via stores, that's what I hope for. You can pirate them of course via web, but I doubt it will work this way "officially", so Sony will have to offer some form of a digital solution.

Have a look at rpcs3, that emulator has improved a lot: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz3-0QxNr4S4gK0xaWy7exQ/search?query=60fps

Sadly I think due to lack of protection, i think it might be store only, my big issue with this is older games like simpsons hit and run wont be able to be purchased. I do hope we get a choice, but i'm not going to hold my breath there, Though ps3 games should be fine disc wise, be more for ps1/2

It is impressive indeed, if sony can impliment this onto the ps5 thatd be great :P

Yeah for ps3 if sony makes an emulation i can bet they start from there as a starting point.

You still have a functioning PS3? Both mine are long dead. I bought the PS3 "Fat" just after release and it crapped out like a month out of warranty. Bought one of the newer models and that lasted a bit longer. Only console i bought since then has been the grossly under powered Switch, but only to play Xenoblade 2 and the upcoming Xenoblade Definitive Edition. I thought about getting some more games but they're stupid expensive, never go on sale, and i'd rather sell it and put the money towards an upgraded CPU/mem/mobo.... *oof*.... and waterblocks. ugg... gonna be expensive.

I expecting 350~400 price tag too

$499 is my guess. Sony fans are pretty hardcore and i doubt they'd pass on it at that price.

I think most "next" gen consoles start off with 300watt power supplies, I just how both MS and Especially Sony dont use shoty PSU that cause horrid Coil whine (Looking at you PS4 PRO)

Just for the hell of it i looked up the PS4 Pro power supply and see that the OEM that makes them is Delta. They make good power supplies. You sure its the power supply making the noise? /edit Well now that i think about it, a Delta psu (not for console) with those specs costs over $100 from Delta. So they must have really cut corners to get the price down per unit, which would explain the coil noise.

Gmn17:

Is ps5 pro coming out this year too? (Fingers crossed)

did the ps4 pro come out at launch? the answer to your question is obviously no, this is not how console releases work. what would sony do in 3 years time, release the ps5 pro2?

I am predicting that the PS5 will be on par with the X series power wise, back compat wise it will run ps4 and pro games native as the new architecture will be just a way powerful ps4 pro, just like the X series is to the XBX, but they won't have any other bc because they already have a successful paywall bc program that is psnow, and i can't see them just giving that up when they are making cash from it, but they will have psvr 2 which is what i am more interested in, and hopefully they have vr controllers with actual thumb sticks, as for add ons i suspect Sony will also have their own proprietary memory expansion option in the form of ssd drives, and i suspect a new joppad which i hope either removes thst useless battery drain lightbar, or at least has the option to turn it off. But whatever it is i will need both these consoles, which is annoying wallet wise. Lol

MY fat ps3 died after agout 8 years of service, I have slim ps3 atm, as for the coil whine in ps4 I dont know IF it is the psu I assuming it it cause if it coming from the mainboard or the SoC then they really cutting corners. But i know for the fact it is NOT the fan I hearing that making that noise. cause fan that can make "similar" noise stop isteantly or chain instantly depending what in on the screen.

I think it will too which not good consider the price of 1TB is still upwards of 100$ if it propriety it just got more expensive, AND THAT DAMN LIGHTBAR need to be removed or option to TURN IT THE FUCK OFF I have electrical tape covering it just so i dont blind my self do to how i hold the controller, and you cant really eletrical tape the touch pad that has light bar in it too now, I dont have the version of controller yet though the battery is quite shitty though 1 6 hour session and the battery is pretty much dead. but sooner or later I gona need a new DS4 cause I think some buttons are starting to not trigger. ( maybe I should tell sony the DS4 control fried another 60$ sennheiser in ear headphones, last time I did that they told send DS4 in they want to test controller they sent me new DS4 back) Still would love to be able to play whole PlayStation library on the new system like the MS is doing, seeing I have so many of them I pretty sure it more then my entire PC library which spans 35+ years of physical copies of game (100+) and 150+ I have on steam and 30+ I have from GoG,Epic,Uplay and I mostly PC gamer yet I have more for consoles go fiqure.

They should just kill my now cause ps5 when I get will do more harm to CTS i have in both hands which has been in argo mode for last 3 months

Specs are already available here. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2020-playstation-5-specs-and-tech-that-deliver-sonys-next-gen-vision

Loophole35:

Sounds identical to the XSX so far. edit: Okay smaller but faster SSD (much faster) can add in certain M.2 SSD's (microsoft just lost the storage portion)

It has significantly less CUs than the XSX but they are clocked higher. The memory interface is pretty different too. They are also using variable clockrates which is interesting.
