@mwatcher then why MS didn't share it for 6 months in a row? maybe they loss more subs than PS Plus? after all, people prefer to pay $60 (majority pay ~$45) than $180 (without $1 offer for newcomers), even when with counting of which one is good or less!
Two point here is first they've changed its name after 25 years to "PlayStation Partner Awards" instead of former "PS Awards", then for first time in these years they didn't announce it till just one week to its date. I'm sure that they want to use "PlayStation Awards" name for something more important with worldwide perspective in future...
@RedShirtRod so, as you point to it, they sold 9m after many years till last year is means it sold WORST in nowdays standard! when we want to compare to game in selling point, we compare them in same time window from launch! also, i think they sold 3.5m FFVII in first month (after its launch), and this 3.5m is confirmed based on gamstat.com data too, opposite to FF15
@Menchi not really! more than 75% people (or even 80%) will buy that on PlayStation platform! The only other platform that people likes FF or other japanese franchises is Nintendo's console!
@RedShirtRod Your wrong! it didn't sold 5m until some few months (or year?) later!
They just shipped it
FFXV was one of the WORSE selling point games in series...
"Quick note: TLOU2 did have fewer days in market in its launch month than SpiderMan. TLOU2 launched Jun 19th with tracking through Jul 4th. Marvel's Spider-Man launched Sep 7th with tracking through Oct 6th."
in summary: TLOU2 had The BIGGEST Exclusive Launch in PS history!
@LiamCroft Apparently Sony's PS NOW slide about MAU was wrong in some area, because they announced 700K subs in April 2019 and for September 2019 it was increased to 1M subs and now they reached to 2.2M subs...
you also covered these news too!
@Belekai as i said, its NOT just about SPEED that PCI4 can reach to most of it (NOT even all of it), its mostly about LOGICs and how Sony innovated a NEW way to address that information in SSD to goes to RAM... so, companies in PC area could increase SPEEDs but to handle this bandwidth in better way, they should customize it which it takes some times (if even they wanted to do this!)
@AdamNovice Actually it's FACT that these such SSD and I/O aren't exist in ANY PC Systems right now... and remember, you can't find any company to build this I/O logics (not just I/O bandwidth, which is more easy than logic) for at least 2 or 3 years later!
@KratosMD remember if it had so valuable, Nintendo has came to this... but look to how they sold 10+ millions of Animal Crossing on less than 11 three days!
If i remember correctly, in second Wired Article about Haptic feedbach, Interviewer said that he use a Astrobot demo to saw how that feature in DualSense works... even in Digital Foundry's video about DualSense they said this again!
it seems Crytech forced him to pull his interview on the Internet but if anyone curious to see his actual interview (in Persion), this is its link: https://bit.ly/2RgYcUI
The Biggest advantage of PS4 compare to Xbox One in last gen was about programming side, not Power and i m pretty sure Sony will keep it on PS5 too... after all, Microsoft programming approach for consoles is compatible to PCs, specially in DirectX, but Sony use special coding just for Consoles!
@Lando_ think about it, HOW it is true but EVERY other reliable sources such as Kotaku's man are saying opposite? even Digital Foundry's men didn't say it until now, WHY?
it s The best news of Today... or even week?
after all this years with Collaborations, they can create big AAA projects because they have 2 dedicated Teams by Now (Internal and External) like SIE Santa Monica
@LiamCroft of course NOT, but you have some designers for your site? or even someone of you could work with PhotoShop? i don't think thats so difficult to change...
@LiamCroft why don't you fix that unofficial PS5 Logo in post picture? not only in this post but it has been on lots of other posts such as Guide Posts...
But i feel there will be something important in the end of March because in last month, in just 2 weeks, some big games that wanted to release on 'March/April/early May' got delayed to another dates... also, as they told before, this Stream was recorded sometimes before for GDC...
i expect them to talk in early May for First game revealing waves with its Controller, then they show Console itself with its Price and All of PS5 launch games in late June (after Microsoft)...
@wiiware it's funny to know that PS5's SSD (include SSD itself and its Connector to RAM) has such fast speed that in theory they don't need to Load PS5's OS to RAM and instead, when you run a Game, they can sent it to SSD (and allow those 16GB RAM as whole used by Game) and when you need it again, they can send it back to RAM for usage!!! also, because they use a 16GB unique RAM (opposite to XSeX approach that use 10GB fast + 6GB slow RAM slots), in the end as whole, Sony's approach will be sooo better in both Usage and Speed! There are so many other advantages that having a fast SSD + fast Connector became soo many important than a slidy powerful GPU...
@LiamCroft Please cover Andrew Maximov's tweet (Former Technical Art Director@Naughty_Dog) about how PS5's SSD will change game design! this new approach isn't just about SSD itself, it's about "SSD + its connector to RAM + RAM" as whole... from today, game developers could load the highest resolution version of any asset from SSD to RAM immediately, then process those in the easiest way without needing to have such Great GPU units like PC computers...
@beavis64 that Digital Foundry's Article about PS5 ? yes, it was soo good and had soo many information about how Cerny achive that high frequencies on GPU's CUs!
@get2sammyb please covering Digital Foundry's newest Video about PS5... also you can found so many good information about PS5 and specially what Teraflops is on that! Mark Cerny: " 'teraflops' is defined as the computational capability of the vector ALU. That's just one part of the GPU, there are a lot of other units - and those other units all run faster when the GPU frequency is higher. At 33 per cent higher frequency, rasterisation goes 33 per cent faster, processing the command buffer goes that much faster, the L1 and L2 caches have that much higher bandwidth, and so on"
1- XSeX Controler is exaclty X360 controler with better D-Pad and Share button (sooo inovation here) 2- How they could telling people that XSeX Specs are soo advanced when it has only 4 gig Ram (in GDDR6 of course) and 12 CU more that XOneX ??? did they know about Nvidia's 3000 Series GPUs that leaked 2 weeks ago???
the Only thing i wish is that PS5 should has 70 or 80 CUs to comparing to 3000 GPUs!
