You know the concern is bad when they haven't even been talking about the "superfast ssd" in the Ps5..... i mean spec thread. Shit we haven't even seen another ssd thread in awhile
.
They've been served nothing but crow so far. Expect more salt from them.
Wait, you think people who prefer Playstation have been served nothing but crow? What planet is that idea from?
Also as a computer scientist/engineer this mocking of the "superfast ssd" is hilarious. Part of my work is managing massive amounts of data in enterprise situations (I lead engineering at my place of work). So much of our work centers around optimizing for data fetching in terms of speed and efficiency, it makes such a
massive difference in how software performs and what you can actually DO with said software. I literally just delivered a new feature this week based around a process that used to take hours, that we can essentially do in real time now, all because of improvements to how we access and organize data, and the team it supports flipped out and referred to it as "game changing." Speed of data access is so important I laugh when I read so many of these comments.
People who dismiss the PS5 SSD literally have no clue what they are talking about. None. Less than none. I would take the PS5 data speed advantage over a 1.8 TF difference in those levels of GPUs any day, all day and every day. You're also assuming that these machines are performing at peak computational capacity for the difference to be that big, and no I don't mean clock speeds. I mean feeding enough data to the parts to actually be processing 12tf vs 10.2 or whatever it is. There are so many factors that go into the performance of a system, you're reading a spec and classifying it as the winner. The CPU and GPU of the PS5 and Xbox Series X are very close, but the PS5 absolutely crushes it in data access. And the PS5 also doesn't have an Xbox Series S, and an Xbox One to be holding back its game design, because they don't need to be cross generational as Microsoft has stated they will be.
Again. Let's see Microsoft prove they have something worth spending money on in terms of software. Sony has been doing great at this aspect of you know,
making games, for more than two decades now. I'd honestly be surprised if Microsoft got anywhere near their execution at the flip of a switch. That's just not how corporations work. They are too big, too massive, and full of way too many processes to go from sucking to amazing at the drop of a hat. Especially when the same people are leading those charges!
P.S. Remember when Satya Nadella came on as CEO and said MS was focused on people going from "needing Windows, to choosing Windows to loving Windows"? That was
five years ago. How has that worked out for them? Microsoft is a company great at making money because of how they can position themselves in a market (most of the time). They are not a company that makes truly great products.
P.P.S. I have had every Xbox ever made and have Microsoft stock.
i love the fact that the easiest way to spot a sony fanboy is too write a xbox topic, no matter what they're like vegans, they will come and tell you "i don't care about xbox, or it's games" but still you're telling us in a xbox topic.... grow up
Uh ... this is an Xbox topic that specifically refers to Sony and the playstation. You don't want people commenting on Playstation when the topic is about Phil commenting on the Playstation? That makes sense.

I tend to buy all the consoles that come out. Been really enjoying Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive on Switch the past two weeks. I just want quality software from every platform.
