PS6 rumored to feature weak version that only has 4 weakened zen6 cores.
>>719402390$400 for gimped version and $800 for true PS6 lmao
>>719402390Didn't the PS5 just come out?
>>719402390The leaks said they were still aiming for a $500 price point so I'm not sure what you expected
>>719402535You wish it was $800. It'll be $1000.
>>719402650Sony and microsoft has given up on selling consoles via hardware subsidies and instead opt to milk their loyal existing fans instead. So 999.99 $ for the full PS6 (with disc-drive, etc) wouldn't be too surprising.
>>719403437If you want to be technical that's the price of the PS5 Pro if you want the disc drive (sold separately).
That's honestly a pretty good thing for PC gaming, devs are forced to optimize for lower power hardware thanks to this just like the Series S did this gen
>>719403658That didn't happen much. A lot of developers simply axed the performance mode from the series S and then axed graphics on top of that.
>>719403658they dont optimize at all you tard they just slap upscale and lower the graphics settings. cybercuck on switch 2 is literally upscaled from 540p to 1080p with medium low settings and it still drops below 30fps. mgs3 remake drops below 30fps on ps5pro, already upscaled from 1080p to 2k
>>719402390>something that dwarfs a series X while being cheaper is pretty badKek, Sony can't make good hardware like the beast Switch 2 that can play GTA 6 and battlefield 6!
>>719403437>Sony, Nintendo and microsoft has given up on selling consoles via hardware subsidiesGood.
>>719405338They do sometimes go further than that such as the series S version of black myth wukong.
>>719402390I wish they'd stop using AMD crap in their consoles, it's so worthless that it holds back their performance
>>719402547the "real" ps5 (pro) [runs some games worse than base version] just came out like eight months ago
>>719405338>>719408895>Red Engine and UE5are you noticing a pattern here?
>>719402390>Sony can't even support 1 console>they're gonna have 2 and force developers to have to think about their handheld shitbox
>>719402547Like 5 years ago man.
>>719408960And use what? Nvidia (shitty )CPU + GPU for double the price? Nvidia GPU + AMD CPU for triple the price?
>>719403658With how many people (including on this board) have dogshit computers that are weaker than the current consoles, you're right
>>719409567nvidia custom gpu with maybe an arm cpu or hell still an amd cpu would be much better and long lasting than amd's current lineup. The world in your head where they magically double or triple the price is just in your head, not reality.
>>719409726Sony already dropped Nvidia once for the PS4 due to being too expensive. And sourcing CPU + GPU for different vendors would obviously raise the price even more. Nothing I said is wrong. But you fixate on hyperbole.
>>719402390Makes perfect sense, over half of PS5's life was spent using the PS4's ecosystem as a crutch. So there's not much need to make PS6 a significant leap spec wise if we haven't even actualized anything PS5 related.I think a more interesting question is will Sony allow PS6 to be backwards compatible with both PS5 and PS4? Since the PS5 spent so much time utilizing PS4's library. If PS6 doesn't I could easily see it hurting Sony since there's not much of a solid library in the PS5 ecosystem to depend on. I mean what does PS5 have outside Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart, Astrobot and Ghost of Yotei? Can you really go with a PS6 that's only backwards compatible with just PS5?
>>719409193But it doesn't have any games yet. Why do they need a new console already?
>>719411071Because they know their audience well - they'll buy new hardware even without software to push it
>>719402390The base PS6 is going to be $700 minimum so they're going to need a poorfag version to fight the bad press they're going to get.
bro they are all trying to get away from dedicated hardware so they can make you play shit on your TV, mobile phone and fridge.
>>719409980>I think a more interesting question is will Sony allow PS6 to be backwards compatible with both PS5 and PS4?I think backwards compatibility is going to be a standard from now on. Games take too long to develop now, next gen won't truly start until we're like 3 years in. Before that period, next gen consoles are just going to be machines for playing previous gen games are at a higher framerate and resolution.
>>719402390It's not docking, MLID
games?
>>719402390no you fucking retard
>>719402390I'll tell you a secret. The "ZEN2" CPU on PS5 is not really a true ZEN2 architecture either. The GPU? Same thing. It's "RDNA2", but does not have the Infinity Cache.They obviously do this so save power. Lower power = less heat = cheaper to build. It's that simple.
>>719402547It came out 16 years ago...
>PS3 MSRP $600 (2006)>FloppedPS5 MSRP $649 (2025)>SuccessHuh?
>>719412543Stop posting MLID, even Kepler is shitting on him, MLID is known for deleting his information when he's wrong.
>>719413124
>>719413529This would be a valid argument if minimum wage also went up in 20 years.
>>719414072Ours did.
>>719413124Where are you getting the 649$ figure from?It's 550$ for the version with a disc-drive now but earlier they sold bundles for 100$ less (lasted a fairly long time too).
>>719412762https://youtu.be/ZKCiC-H2Xbg?si=xpV40Uvi7kWYvvUW
on top of this, it's already confirmed the nextbox is at least 20% faster than the PS6.sony ponies lost.
>>719402390sony is stupid enough to actually do this lmao>>719409980if they can't convince people to buy the PS5 as much as the PS4 (globally it's still 10% or so behind the PS4) when they have even less competition this time (Xbox is actually dead his generation. the xbox series sold less than half of what the xbone sold) why do you think they'll convince people to buy a new console if it's not more powerful? mind you that sony has entirely relied on power and graphics as their marketing/buying point since the PS3 and that's what their fan base expects to be advertised with
if these consoles are all going to have the same games, might as well buy the one that's more powerful.
>>719418369I don't understand this talk about RDNA5. I thought RDNA4 was the last before UDNA.
>>719402390>cheap PS6 will render games at a native 1080p >expensive PS6 will render games at 4k with ray tracing (AI upscaling + AI frame interpolation)the expensive one will outsell the cheap one 3:1
>>719417350Well hardware is the main thing they have going for them now when their first party output is lame and they ported most exclusives to PC. but it's going to be hard for them to avoid releasing gimped hardware if they are going to also compete in the handheld space. But they could at least have given their handheld 8 cores so it's closer to their more powerful console, might be too late for that now though.
>>71940239010+ years ago I might've been enthusiastic about a mobile Playstation, I almost boughted a Vita if they didn't drop support, but what do I want with a nuPSP.Do they think the CoD, Fifa, Fortnite crowd gives a shit about playing.Who is the audience for this, dad gamer and your wife's son?
if these consoles won't be out by GTA6 I don't really see why they're rushing it
>>719409096don't worry, first party devs will support bothand the PSVR3
>>719412543wait, there's THREE systems?i thought it was just the handheld and the console
The kids who will play Fortnite in a corner alone while isolating themselves from any real-world activity, becoming NEET and eventually trans.
>>719414072McDonalds is paying 15 dollars an hour minimum
>>71941964720 actually.
>>719409075Retard.
>>719402390who cares?there's literally no reason for a ps6 to even existgraphics have been the same since ps4 and there are NO GAMES
>>719402390who would buy a gimped version that's barely more powerful than a PS5 Pro?
>>719419064people switch between calling it udna and rdna5 because amd hasn't given it an official name.
>>719402390>60% faster than PS5 and 36GB of unified RAM/VRAM would hold back the industryAt what point to we admit modern devs are just utterly incompetent?
>>719421223The problem is it only having 4 cores.
>>719402547It's not selling, so here comes a new one.
>>719420908the sony fanbase
>>719409726retard
>>719420908poorfags
>>719421221the whole reason people are calling it udna is because they're merging rdna and cdna together. currently if you want gayming you have to give up compute and viceversa if you want compute you have to give up your rops and gayming perf. by having both its like nvidia moving from gtx to rtx.

Honourable mention:>Resident Evil 9 (upside down 6)>Dying Light The Beast
>>719402390If it'll have 32 GB of shared memory PC players are fucked. On PC ports, even 16GB cards are going to struggle.
>>719409980>I mean what does the PS5 have*Played Rift Apart. I'd like Insomniac to die as a company please.Haven't played Astrobot, looked like corpo crap for Japanese babies.Haven't played Ghost of Yotei.
>>719421443Makes me wonder what took them so long. They should have done that many years ago.
>>719423970The rumors are 24 GiB or 36 GiB due to 192 bit bus. So i should be fine with my 3090, at least with regard to VRAM. I could probably ride out the entire next generation if i wanted to.
>>719424117That has become general with the few console exclusives being made. They simply aren't that great and not really worth playing. Astrobot does look interesting in some ways but not to the point where i am going to get a PS5 just to play it, especially not when it's capped at a consistently bad 60fps.
>>719424601i still can't see how 24 gigs of vram is even used, these games looks the same as the ones from last gen
>>719424601Oh yeah my brain "auto-corrected" 36GB to 32GB. So it's even worse lol.>>719425089They'll find a way, somehow. Not for the benefit of any of us.
>>719425089Modern devs could probably use 64 gigs with no visible benefit to players if the hardware let them.
>release a worse version of PS5>tards will buy it just because the number says 6>tfw they will get away with it
>>719425590give sony fans some credit, they won't buy the weak version. they'll focus on paying 800+ for the stronger one
>>719424162market segmentation = more money. nvidia does it too. but cuda on nvidia at least works on any nvidia product. amds rocm only works on certain products not all.
>>719402390>4 weakened zen6 cores.??????Shut up you fucking nerd!
>>719425889>amds rocm only works on certain products not all.The software itself is fine and performs very well. Developers simply don't have any interest in adding ROCm/HIP support to theirs programs because barely anyone owns an AMD GPU for work.
>>719425786We don't see that with the PS5 pro but in that case the base model basically has the same hardware besides smaller SSD and weaker GPU.
>>719427096the PS5 pro has the same cpu that bottleneck most of the performance. we know it's not actually that much of a boost.
>>719409075real PS5 has never been tried
>>719420532>>719419647Not in Georgia
>>719402390>no games>lost japan>slowly becoming irrelevant in USA>literally drowning in failed service slop kusoge>let's just copy what nintendo does guys
>>719427267The PS5 pro is CPU bottlenecked in the sense that it's often not possible to use the extra GPU power to push for higher framerates due to the weak CPU. But it's still possible to push higher resolution at least even if that isn't nearly as useful.
>>719402390>"sbox will hold back the gen">sbox effectively held back the gen enough that sony is doing the same with PS6 instead of allowing xbox to undercut them on price>retards: IT'S A FREE GAME WHEN YOU'VE ALREADY PAID
>>719402390no way this handheld shit can run unreal engine 5 lmao, even rtx 5080 struggles at that with dlss4 on. I expect the handheld will have limited library and will be a different ecosystem like PSP was to ps3. in a few years core gaming will be a choice between $2000 gaming PC, $800 ps6 and cloud streaming services like geforce now, gamepass/xcloud for poorfags.
>>719402547yes but no games came out so it feels just like the ps4 era
>>719409980>I think a more interesting question is will Sony allow PS6 to be backwards compatible with both PS5 and PS4?If Sony ports their games to Switch 2 and they get cartridges then Sony is so stupid it's unreal. But I feel this already doesn't matter because Switch 2 will get everything PS4 pretty much third party and it'll get cartridges or gamekeys which is better than digital only and it will be out for years before they even release anything
>4 zen6 cores>24GB to 36GB of ramI don't see the issue here. You don't need more than 6 cores for gaming
>>719402547No, its already been half a decade but I get it, it has no gaems so it doesn't feel like its generation even started yet.
>>719434589I suspect that this gen has been held back a lot by the lack of ram on consoles with the series S being especially bad in that regard.
