Sounds great in every respect, especially how its backwards compatible with ps4 games.
What if it was backwards compatible with every ps1, ps2 and ps3 game as well? That would be sick. Microsoft will need to seriously step up their game, if they don't wanna get brutally outmatched in sales like they were with the Xbox One.

I swear I remember reading articles a year ago or so that the PS5 was set to be backwards compatible with PS1-PS4... but now I can't find them.

The real issue will be emulating ps3 games straight out of the disc, something the ps4 couldn't do because of the ps3 games running on complicated architecture.

I just wish they'd be backwards-compatible AND region-free. Lots of Japanese PS1 and PS2 games I want to get but modded systems are expensive.

Boring console name if it just will continue like that, Playstation 5, Playstation 6 and so on.

wtf is wrong with that? It's the first console where you always know exactly what generation of the system you're on.

But I think the numbered path they've taken is solid. Clean, classy, and clear. Much better than the mess Microsoft ended up in with the confusing X-Box names. |

The backwards compatibility thing would be huge for me. But after what they pulled with the PS3, I don't trust Sony anymore to maintain it on the PS5. And honestly, I don't do so much gaming at all anymore. But if I could easily throw in an old game I loved for an hour or so, I'd be much more inclined to get into a modern game here or there.

I admit, I'm way behind on CPU speeds or how to read them. I've sort of given up. In the 90s, it was pretty simple... 8086, 286, 386, 486, Pentium 90, Pentium 200, then we just jumped to raw MHz. Like, "I have a 1.2 GHz processor." Then later, "I have a dual-core 3.0 GHz processor."
I have no idea how to read "8x Zen 2 Cores at 3.5GHz." Does that mean there's 2 cores within 8 processors or that there's ... and collectively the whole thing is only 3.5 GHz, or is that a multiplier? Like, each one of the 8 is 3.5 GHz? How are we supposed to read that and what does it even mean anymore?

Zen 2 is the type of core, 8 is how many there are. 3.5 ghz is the frequency each core can go up to.

The PS5 is probably going to be $499 at the minimum so there’s no way I am buying it anytime soon. Assuming it’s not delayed to early 2021 at this point anyway.
Between Doom, Resident Evil 3, Final Fantasy 7, Last of Us Part II, Ghosts of Tsushima and Cyberpunk 2077 the rest of the year is stacked anyway. And that’s not even counting whatever unnannounced games were planned for E3. |
