Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's CES 2020 Press Conference?

I was not expecting much so I'm fine. But that car... Damm! Never thought Sony would get in the mobility market.

I hope we get to drive that Vision S on GT7.

@Clove90 ps4 wasn't announced at e3. They had their own reveal event. I expect the same here.

@Cutmastavictory Clove is correct. The Pro had its own reveal but the launch PS4 was an E3 reveal.

Ps4 unit sales and PSPlus are about the same? This doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

It's nice that they insisted on the content and confirmed RT is even more hardware (hardware based) than people thought.

Microsoft have shown their hand (or should that be breeze block?) early so Sony can now take their time - possibly fine tuning the console's specs?

@sanderson72 the specs are locked in, it will be weaker than xbox sex.

@Arnna That is active users of PSN, not subscribers to PS Plus which is at 38 million I believe.

"PSN Surpasses 100 Million Monthly Users, More Than a Third Subscribed to PS Plus", So that's a lot of money that they get for their "amazing service".. I remember very well when they told us that the online should have to be paid because the costs were becoming to high to mantain the quality of the online servers. At the time I thought that it made sense.
But now the quality of the plus is very low, the number of games is the lowest ever, and most of the time the games are really old or bad. So I must say that in my opinion, we are being robbed with this service.

@Amppari according to a rumour.

And only yesterday another rumour popped up saying the the "leaked" 9Tf are from a false dev ID installed to misguide such "leaks" meaning that it could be more powerful than 9TF. So as of now it could either be less powerful or more or equal to the series x

We don't know yet and will only know for sure when Sony reveals the ps5 itself.

@Amppari
But....the weaker SeX? 🤔

@jdv95
As I understand it. PS5 could have a chip dedicated to RT (maybe NVIDIA?) . That would mean PS5 GPU doesn't have to handle RT and more efficient.
Just my thoughts.

@Amppari that's what they said about the PS4 before its RAM went from 4Gb to 8Gb to outmanoeuvre Microsoft at the 11th hour.
Until Sony unveils the final(ish) product in its new case, changes are possible. Only the devs with dev kits will know.

@jdv95 - i've also read that the XBsX might have 9-10 Tflops, reports that it's targetting 12Tflops have come from a MS comment that it will have "double the power" of the XB1X, so people have just multiplied the 6Tflops of the XB1X by 2 to get 12. when pushed, MS won't say how they arrive at the multiplier, as 1 Tflop of the Navi/RDNA2 architecture is much more efficient than the previous GCN architecture that AMD used on PS4/XB1 GPUs.. benchmarks suggest it is up to a 30-40% performance improvement, so 9-10Tflops would deliver a better performance than 12Tflops of the XB1X GPU. The Xbox product manager's also been quoted as saying he believes the PS5 will be 8-9Tflops. i'd take any suggestion that the specs (leaked more than a year before launch) of either are fact with a grain of salt.

Such a waste of time.

I feel like they're intentionally implying stuff and then not delivering to raise anticipation. Obviously you can only take that so far before people get tired of it, but if people expect something, get hyped, but then don't get it delivered, the hype can raise and raise. A kind of desperation can set in.

Weird analogy but it's like how I heard that chewing gum can be bad for you because your stomach anticipates food from you chewing, but then doesn't get it. It's like the anticipation without the relief, leading to more and more anticipation. But they do need to actually show something before it becomes a kind of boy-who-cried-wolf situation.

My next car in FORZA, GT... or whatever racing game sells me a DLC of it 😃

@Agramonte I always said if they sold a Sony car i would have one and them i remembered i probably have the funds for such a expensive car. 😋
