What was that quote,,(Paraphrasing a lot here) "In a few year's time people will just know how amazing the ps5 as a machine"

Does anyone here remember that?, can't recall who said it.

You sir/madam are a star.
Co-Founder of Ready At Dawn. He was still so so Loyal to Playstation even after being thrown under the bus. Not even the Meta acquisition could change that.

Hmm let's see
PS1: Memory issues
PS2: EE, memcard
PS3: Cell, memory
PS4: HDD
PS5 probably have least bottlenecks so far so I think they probably happy with that. Also it BC with last gen without having to add another past hardware

Also imagine if PS5 model use 4nm to shrink chip to <200mm square and achive 300 US dollars cost.

For PS5 Pro, fuck it. 24GB GDDR6X, 54 CUs Navi 41 running at 2.8Ghz because why not. With 4nm they could shrink it down to 300 mm square. Zen 4 CPU to eliminate bottleneck and price it at 500-600 US dollars cost.

Ps4 didn't really have bottlenecks like that insofar as the entire hardware was crappy. But probably about as good as you could get for $300 BoM.
