PS5 is based on RDNA 2, not RDNA 1.

Please ditch the optical disks already ... use SD cards they are cheap today. 64GB SD can be found for $5

PS5 is based on RDNA1 with texture unit from RDNA2. It lacks a log of features from RDNA2.

That's still several times the cost of a stamped BD, and does not include the replication costs to write and then verify that SD card.

Please don’t. My PS5 plays my PS4 game discs wonderfully… and I hope my PS6 plays them as well…

You want game prices to go up to $75 or $80 (while keeping the infinite added cost of the standard f2p mechanics) in an era where they don't even bother putting the game on the disc?

This generation is a complete bust.
I guess Sony just needs to move as much hardware as possible while they still can, because they can't possibly be selling that many games.

What's a nice way to say this....

You can pry physical versions of games from my cold dead hands. All digital is not the future we should want.

(Also 64GB so ... 1 AAA game? 5 indie games maybe?)

^^^This!

The past several PlayStation generations were stamped in the videogame history books for some of the most classic and iconic games ever made. Final Fantasy VII, Chrono Trigger, Resident Evil, Silent Hill just to name a few were on the original PlayStation.

The amount of first party games took a dip on the PS4 but nowhere to the level of the PS5. I have owned every PlayStation going back to the late 90's. While Sony is beating Microsoft, their software is mostly unbalanced as they are offering pretty much all 3rd party games that are on the current XBOX.

I had a launch PS4 and three years later purchased a launch PS4 Pro based on hype and promises. My favorite PS4 game was Bloodborne and that was a game that looked incredible on the PS4 but suffered from performance issues as it ran at 30FPS and at times got a little choppy. From Software had already moved on from that game.

So for me the PS4 Pro was a huge letdown as few games took advantage of Boost Mode. Most game developers probably had already moved on and were thinking about games designed for the PS5. I bet the same will happen.

What makes me laugh, is apparently according to Sony, they don't have any good IPs to make the first party games

It was the first implementation of RDNA2, it lacks a lot of RDNA 2 features because it does not support direct X.

Yeah, I found that weird . They put a lot of high hopes in Astro Bot which has been getting a ton of praise. I preordered the game and played some of it late last night and it certainly lives up to all the great reviews.

Chrono Trigger may have been on the PlayStation, but it was a SNES game originally. Still, there's plenty of other games to mention. Demon's Souls is a prime example.

why so ? Sony has their own SD brand and it will cost them like $1 or less each in volumes.

 

[newtechldtech]

Please don’t. My PS5 plays my PS4 game discs wonderfully… and I hope my PS6 plays them as well…

you can move them into SD card in iso file , not a big deal.

Sony can produce them in volume for less than $1 each . they have their own SD cards brand...

Yes. What I seek in a console is the work of a PC… who wouldn’t want to jump through those hoops?!

I did that with CDs, I did that with DVDs, I did that with Blurays… so why not gaming consoles? Good question.

If you want an SD medium console, the Switch is there for you.
