How the fuck does that thing breathe?

I mean, it's an awesome form factor, I absolutely adore it, but the PS5 design looks to have a massively superior design for cooling.

I thought they'd do a fan on the top and/or bottom but apparently not.

If they're going pull config on the top, they better have every crack and crevice covered with a filter or it's going to get full of dust.

A superior balance of power and speed

Compared to the previous generation, Xbox Series X represents a superior balance of power and speed in console design, advancing on all technological fronts to delivering amazing, dynamic, living worlds and minimize any aspects that can take you out of the experience. Our job at Team Xbox is to give teams the tools they need to achieve their ambitions and tap into the console’s power with efficiency, a few of which we’re detailing today. Raw power is just part of the story:

  • Next Generation Custom Processor: Xbox Series X is our most powerful console ever powered by our custom designed processor leveraging AMD’s latest Zen 2 and RDNA 2 architectures. Delivering four times the processing power of an Xbox One and enabling developers to leverage 12 TFLOPS of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) performance – twice that of an Xbox One X and more than eight times the original Xbox One. Xbox Series X delivers a true generational leap in processing and graphics power with cutting edge techniques resulting in higher framerates, larger, more sophisticated game worlds, and an immersive experience unlike anything seen in console gaming.
  • Variable Rate Shading (VRS): Our patented form of VRS empowers developers to more efficiently utilize the full power of the Xbox Series X. Rather than spending GPU cycles uniformly to every single pixel on the screen, they can prioritize individual effects on specific game characters or important environmental objects. This technique results in more stable frame rates and higher resolution, with no impact on the final image quality.
  • Hardware-accelerated DirectX Raytracing: You can expect more dynamic and realistic environments powered by hardware-accelerated DirectX Raytracing – a first for console gaming. This means true-to-life lighting, accurate reflections and realistic acoustics in real time as you explore the game world.
Immersion in an instant

The next console generation will be defined by more playing and less waiting. And when play begins, we know many gamers demand ultra-low latency to be as immersed and precise as possible. To this end, the team analyzed every step between player and game, from controller to console to display, and asked how we could make it faster.

  • SSD Storage: With our next-generation SSD, nearly every aspect of playing games is improved. Game worlds are larger, more dynamic and load in a flash and fast travel is just that – fast.
  • Quick Resume: The new Quick Resume feature lets you continue multiple games from a suspended state almost instantly, returning you to where you were and what you were doing, without waiting through long loading screens.
  • Dynamic Latency Input (DLI): We’re optimizing latency in the player-to-console pipeline starting with our Xbox Wireless Controller, which leverages our high bandwidth, proprietary wireless communication protocol when connected to the console. With Dynamic Latency Input (DLI), a new feature which synchronizes input immediately with what is displayed, controls are even more precise and responsive.
  • HDMI 2.1 Innovation: We’ve partnered with the HDMI forum and TV manufacturers to enable the best gaming experience through features such as Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR). ALLM allows Xbox One and Xbox Series X to automatically set the connected display to its lowest latency mode. VRR synchronizes the display’s refresh rate to the game’s frame rate, maintaining smooth visuals without tearing. Ensuring minimal lag and the most responsive gaming experience.
  • 120 fps Support: With support for up to 120 fps, Xbox Series X allows developers to exceed standard 60 fps output in favor of heightened realism or fast-paced action.

I wonder what they're doing with the controller. Hopefully they're not moving away from bluetooth.

We've seen a lot of promises from them, but I don't really trust any developer now until the game has been released.
 
Digital Foundry was right on the money, they nailed everything. The second part of the rumor are the PS5 specs, which I believe they are right as well.

MS seems to not give a fuck about anyone, they're releasing info left and right.
 
Well well well Microsoft, I do admit that does all sound amazing.

But I'm wondering if Sony's PS5 specs will meet it, beat it, or overprice their console in doing so.

Already sounding like the PS5 won’t compare to the X Box XXL. If they come in cheaper with their built in base, it won’t matter.
 
Looks like the xbox is gonna bully the PS5 in terms of specs, but its always about the games.

Time will tell. Looks like Sony will have to consider a bigger loss per console sold to pay for more powerful hardware for long-term viability on the gaming market.
 
I believe people are giving too much credit to the PS4 hardware base. The X360 sold quite well and a lot of people didn't think twice when MS announced all that shit in 2013 and dropped the platform in favor of the PS4.

All we need is one bad decision.

Sony shot themselves in the dick with the PS3 launch and still outsold everything but the Wii. The base is incredibly important.

They’d have to somehow screw up worse than announcing a $600 console that was difficult to program for. Could happen but as long as they deliver a cheaper, easy to use gaming platform, I can’t see how they lose their base.

They're taking features that we've enjoyed in the pc space for years and are putting a marketing spin on it. There isn't anything really new or innovate here.
 
The specs for the xbox look great. Unfortunately I do not trust them at all when it comes to delivery games so I'm sticking with Sony unless they fuck it up big time.
