And yet, many people do overlook that whole I/O thing the PS5 is doing which a super duper fast SSD for PCâs wonât be able to do without some other changesâŚ
Dive into it, itâs kinda fascinating if you like that sorta stuff 
Yeah, it was a lot of talk. As usual. Based on the specs itâll be comparable to an equivalent generation budget gaming PC. No big surprises there. Tiny storage that is slower than the hype claims, mediocre processing power, and a GPU that is great for the price, but wonât stand up against PCs for very long at all. Itâs a deja vu of the last three console hypes that I saw. Price point is great for when it first comes out though, $500 is something I bet you wonât be able to make with PC components.

As I said, when it comes out they (PS5 and XSX) will be faster than most PCâs currently being used for gaming.
As usual this will change over time. Only thing I have my doubts about is the whole I/O thing, not sure if PCâs will be able to match that but itâs also unclear if they even need to if non-PS5 games are not taking advantage of itâŚ
I also doubt you have seen both videos in less than 10 minutes 
My comment about âlots of talkâ is that there were many PC master racers who did not believe Epicâs claims about the SSD stuff in the PS5âŚ
Ah well, am sure I will be enjoying the thing once it arrives. It sure will be a major step up from my PS4 Pro (and it will be faster than my current, only 1 year old, PC)âŚ

Already have Iâve read what they claim. Does anyone know yet who the secret manufacturer is of their âcustom SSDâ? Custom gaming PCs are already clocking close to those speeds and have = or more tflops.
The SSD is not the major thing tho, itâs the I/O stuff that is mostly impressive. Yes you can already now buy a RAID setup with SSDâs that can get you a theoretical higher SSD speed but due to the I/O bottlenecks you wonât see many benefits of it unlike with a solution as Sony (and MS in a slightly lesser way) have doneâŚ
Actually, the newer SSDs are a huge reason the newer systems will be able to access/read data faster. Many times faster.
Iâve also said itâs bad that some people are rocking old CPUs (that donât have enough cores to process all of the data fast enough). Heck, some still donât have dedicated GPUs either lol

Regarding your poll above, itâs currently at 72%:37% PC:Playstation. Is that ratio a little high you think, or pretty close to reality?
I always thought there were more PS4 players than PC players tbh. This is only polling people on the forums thoughâŚlots of players donât come to the forums. Itâs been out for a long time for PC players - dunno when PS4 was added.

Me, too. Nothing beats kicking back on my couch 12 feet away from my TV screen in my comfortable living room! Where I live no one owns an Xbox, but I see a lot of people using the Nintendo Switch. I donât know how much work is involved in making this game run on all the big platforms but it sure would be awesome to see!
I would think that some ps4 players are not aware of the forum? PC and steam kind of send you to the forum, or at least shows it exists. You canât go directly to the forum from the PS4.
