It uses a 8 core jaguar CPU from AMD a crappy tablet CPU but it works, the GPU was REALLY good it is a HD 7870 video card with pretty much 8GB GDDR5 RAM. Prior console only had 0.5GB RAM
PS5 games look barely any better than PS4 because as we speak 95% of Developers out there still do not have the budget to make games with the graphical fedelity to take full advantage of the PS4 hardware
Cause the PS4 hardware is "good enough" this means it looks almost real so you don't need much better than that.
Same reason 40% of Steam Gamers use 4 Core CPU i5 from like 10 years ago and they never upgraded cause it's good enough.
Problem with console is the sh!tty 30 FPS but PS5 just might solve that problem I know Series X certainly will, when console gamers are exposed to 120 FPS @ 120HZ then they will know what they have been missing out these last 10 years. When allyuh see 120 FPS on that PS5 then allyuh go see how much dog sh!t 30 FPS is

It was blamed on them going full SJW tho, have you noticed this? is the Woke SJW situation in TLOU2 really as bad as reviewers make it out to be?

Honestly your complaints are non factors, might be nice for nerds to debate but in the real world of sales only two things matter, price and exclusives.
Rumors that the PS5 will launch at $399 are heating up. They already have a huge leg up on exclusives too.
What does xbone have? Gaylo?
Sony actually released these details at the PS5 showcase last week, revealing that the PS5 measures 390mm (15.4 inches) tall, 260mm (10.24 inches) deep, and 104mm (4.09 inches) wide, but it's difficult to envision just how large that is with no point of reference.Sep 21, 2020

It follows the razor and blade model

Sell the console upfront at a loss but make money on the games.

In other words... oil up from now. Customs waiting... tool in hand.
I say cater for about 1700 extra, on top of the PS5 cost.
Already seeing a local Facebook store quoting 6300 TT.
Please don't overpay these imps.

All consoles follow this model including the Xbox with Game Pass.
The PS5 and XBSX as of right now in off the shelf parts would cost close to $1000 USD or more. Even with economies of scale, both consoles are losing money in hardware sales.
But obviously selling games, especially Digital games (controlled pricing) means they stand to make a lot! I myself, in the last 2 years have spent over $400 US on digital games and PS Plus subscriptions.
However, MS is taking a large bet with Game Pass as developers stand to lose a lot of money, Game Pass can only maintain that low pricing once they enough subscribers so time will tell but it looks optimistic so far for MS.
It'd be interesting to see if Sony goes this route as well as it does certainly have promise.

It might start off with 3 or 4 versions covering that range.
2 digital versions with different storage (maybe 1TB and 2 TB)
2 Bluray version with same ^ storage options. OR one Bluray version with 1TB.maj. tom wrote:That's the price to expect. It's always on par with the flagship phones of the day.
PS3 base model was $499 for 20GB and $599 for 60GB
PS3 was a totally new architecture (Cell) with lots of R&D, and even at those prices Sony was still making a loss on each console.
It was estimated to be around $250-300 loss per console, and Sony claimed they started to break even around May 2010
(nearly 4 years later).
Bloomberg reported earlier this year that the PS5 costs $450 per unit on Sony's end and that the console would at least have to be at least $470 to have a profitable gross margin. Analyst Daniel Ahmad backed this report up on Twitter. "Build cost is not the retail price," he said. "As the article states, a $450 build cost would probably result in a retail price close to $500.
