Sony PlayStation 5 : Play Has No Limits

[IzHee]

Seagate Firecuda 530 read speed is up to 7.3GB/s.
PS5 SSD read speed is up to 5.5GB/s (Raw) and 8-9GB/s (compressed).
X|S SSD read speed is up to 2.4GB/s (Raw) and 4.8GB/s (compressed).

X|S expansion costing $219.99 for 1TB with 2.4GB/s speed vs Firecuda 530 1TB with 7.3GB/s (whilst PS5 using 5.5GB/s) for $254.99 or $274.99 for more than double the speed of whatever X|S is offering for $35 more for the standard version without heatsink?

Not to mention, you’ll only have to use a proprietary expansion card for X|S whereas NVMes down the line may get cheaper for the PS5.

Xbox's SSD is mix matched. Some use PCI-E Gen 3x4 interface and some Gen 4x2.
None of the SSD's use DRAM cache either neither the internal nor the expansion cartridge one. Which means it can't even sustain 2.4GB/s lmao.


PS5's internal SSD does have a 512MB SDRAM cache according to ifixit's teardown.

The M.2 SSD's on the other hand are much more capable than the competition yet are priced around the same.

They even tested the drives below recommended specs and discovered 15% slower loading in areas where SSD is stressed.

A $580 2TB drive. At this point, get a 2nd PS5 instead (or sell the 1st one and get a Switch) lol.

Even better, get a Steam Deck instead

Call of Duty be like:

Meh, I'll just get one for my PC once ssd prices drop a bit. The PS5's internal storage is enough to store the 3 PS5-only games and the multiplayer shooter + fighting game I play each year.

Heck, with Jim Ryan in charge, I don't see Sony making another major PS5-only game until 2023. I hope I'm wrong, but

Abhi se planning shuru

Must have some guesses as to which games are coming to PC first?

Must have some guesses as to which games are coming to PC first?

Uncharted collection, Uncharted 4, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, GoW collection, GoW 3 remaster, GoW, Spider-man, Ghost of Tsushima, TLOU Part 1 and II. Nixxes will port them one by one.

A Bloodborne port or remaster may happen too. Whether they'll move to porting PS5-only games later in the generaion is anyone's guess

Could've just said "all of them"

But yeah, them being the "initial phase" of porting games to PC probably means they are working out which game engines Nixxes will require dedicated assistance from the studios and what not.

 

[CerebralTiger]

Well, there is your favorite Gravity Rush (and its sequel) that may never see the light of day on PC

Not sure if Gran Turismo goes to PC either.

 

[Necrokiller]

Not sure if Gran Turismo goes to PC either.

Lets see. You (and people you talk to I suppose), have already abandoned them.

 

[CerebralTiger]

Yeah, I'd rather play Forza Horizon 5. Sony Ryan's doing nothing to retain me as a consumer with a high software attach rate at this point

"We believe in generations" - announces Horizon FW, GoW Ragnarok, and GT7 for PS4
"We believe in exclusives" - announces slate of first-party titles for PC
"We believe expansion drives will perform just as well as the internal drive" - announces that may not be the case for all games

 

[Necrokiller]

Yeah, I'd rather play Forza Horizon 5.

You mean Forza Motorsport 8? Because GT is a "simulator"

Sony's answer to Microsoft Flight Simulator

I don't get it

I don't get it

A make believe game that trains you to become an engineer so that you're able to add an ssd to the PS5's expansion slot

Sony Boosts Profit Outlook on Better Movies, Music Prospects

Sony Chief Financial Officer Hiroki Totoki said that the company’s key product, the $499 PlayStation 5, was no longer selling at a loss. The $399 PS5 Digital Edition is on track to have its loss offset by other hardware sales including peripherals and the PlayStation 4, the CFO added.

Glad I could contribute to Sony's losses
