How are the specs worse it has more Ram and a better CPU and the RTX 4070 is equivalent if not better than the Pro's GPU
IGN receives marching orders from Xbox HQ: "Build a PC as powerful as PS5 Pro"
- Thread starter Cool hand luke
- Start date
"specs" lmao... do you build computers? a lot of prebuilts especially the box store ones don't achieve nearly their "spec" because they're built by people who cut the sharpest of corners in the name of price efficiency. some don't even have case airflow or fuck up the TIM application. Would not touch with a 10' pole. Also >intel 14th gen, good luck
That PC is marketed toward the average consumer and not a hardcore PC gamer tech enthusiast
exactly. the average consumer isn't going to know that if they don't update their bios the intel chip will destroy itself within a couple of years. That's why the rating is so low. Good job finding a prebuilt that literally melts down to counter the ps5 pro, you really showed those console peasants

Puny 1TB of storage vs the colossal 2TB of the pro. A CPU that will never be utilised for gaming (PS5 is the standard that all devs work towards). What a waste of money.
More storage doesn't due anything for performance in games you really believe everything Mark Cerny tells you like it's the gospel don't you
ah the daily pocket watching posts from the online karen
Guy is surely part of some MLM pc parts scheme

Guarantee it will be hot and noisy. These have the worst parts inside.
And still it’s not complete. 1tb and that intel explodes or something lol
Heh, I use Linux, but yeah, I'm part of an enlightened minority.
The world would be a better place without Microsoft.
He never said the fast SSD would improve graphical performance. You either are unable to comprehend his statements or trying to gaslight people.
Lol.
There isn't. Sony announced they stopped losing money with each PS5 sold in 2021 and they didn't reverse that announcement. The previous year mentioned losses on hardware due to promotions, clearly indicating they're not losing money on MSRP.
Sony isn't spending $100 on distribution.
GDDR6X is a completely different product than regular GDDR6. It uses PAM4 signaling. 18Gbps definitely doesn't cost 2x more than 14Gbps in 2024.
VAT is too high but the premium they're applying on European customers over American ones goes way higher than the average 22% VAT + 1 year warranty extension.
Especially on the bluray drive where Sony extorts $133 from Europeans compared to $80 from Americans.
It said "mainly" due to promotions. Since then they've raised prices and promotions have stopped, something they would have known when they made the FY forecast. You're reaching really hard now, especially when Hiroki Totoki directly answered an investor question saying they weren't going to make a price cut to the PS5 due to increases in component costs... THIS YEAR. Not in 2021.
Cool facts bro

It all looks like a case of "Enshittification"!
The one platform going under is the one catering to the people who don't want to pay.

They can do that because in the US Sony still has some competition from Xbox. In Europe and South America they can price gouge as much as they want due to the extreme (football club like) levels of fanboyism there is for Playstation (makes icon era look tame by comparison)
You can see in other threads here how they suggest increasing prices further instead of expanding to other platforms in a controlled manner to reach more users.
Icon eras end game of a PS2 like monopoly will bite them in the ass. You'll get a more expensive and lazier Playstation as a result.
Just like it happened to Intel during the Bulldozer/Piledriver/Excavator era of AMD. Or the no Steam no buy crowd. Thankfully steam keeps improving even if theres little competition.

Hilarious when PS2 is the best generation till date, whatever microsoft or xbox do they will never get my money. Xbox can sell the most powerful console for 200$ next gen and I still wont buy it.
Maybe they come up with Gamepass Next!
Pay 40$/Month for 2 years, with the Console included, similiar to Smartphone Contracts.
Just like I said... Hooligan/Barrabravas/Torcida Organizada/Ultras level of fanboyism.
Once a corporation knows that, the customer is screwed short term.
Meh its not fanboyism, I will pick cheap 50$ alibaba kockoffs that play 16 bit games over xbox and microsoft, Sony is just in the right place
If Sony/Nintendo is successful = "Hooligan/Barrabravas/Torcida Organizada/Ultras level of fanboyism."
If Microsoft is successful = "Best Deal in Gaming" (Until it isn't!).
