Date: November 1st, 2025 10:31 AM Author: Nighttime mad-dog skullcap What’s funny is that this just makes it even more unlikely for Sony to make Games.
Sony’s bottombois love to point out that Sony “has no competition” now, because they have to pretend Nintendo doesn’t exist in order to stay sane. But let’s say they are right. What incentive do they have to develop “exclusive” (ie PC 😏) Games? Why would they even bother? It would just cost a shit ton of money and no one would buy them. Why do you think Valve stopped making Games. |

Date: November 1st, 2025 1:10 PM Author: charismatic know-it-all dilemma therapy Name a game that PS5 isn’t getting. Name a time period where their first party output sucked less other than when Uncharted games were coming out which you probably hate anyway. Do you long for the days of Coolboarders?

Their hardware will be Xbox branded PC hardware with a software overlay similar to SteamOS. I'm ok with all of this and I suspect most Xbox fans are too.

Date: November 1st, 2025 4:34 PM Author: charismatic know-it-all dilemma therapy The PS5 embodies a higher plane of Engineering, where every subsystem exists in concert rather than isolation; its 825 GB custom SSD delivers 5.5 GB/s raw and up to 9 GB/s compressed throughput, operating through a proprietary controller and hardware decompression ASIC wired directly to the SoC. The Xbox Series X’s 1 TB drive, by contrast, is a Joke, with generic PCIe 4.0 NVMe device capped around 2.4 GB/s raw, relying on CPU-assisted decompression and software-layered I/O—the kind of commodity architecture built for IT departments, not Engineers. The PS5’s variable-frequency APU manages power thermodynamically, reallocating energy dynamically across CPU and GPU workloads via sensor-based feedback loops, maintaining equilibrium rather than throttling. The Series X simply locks clocks and bleeds heat, a static design masquerading as stability. PS5’s unified 16 GB GDDR6 at 448 GB/s ensures deterministic latency across all memory access, while the Series X’s split 10 GB/6 GB memory pools create bandwidth asymmetry and scheduling complexity—inelegant, developer-hostile, and visibly pedestrian. Even at the physical level, Sony’s liquid-metal interface and laminar vapor-chamber cooling demonstrate real thermodynamic insight; Microsoft’s vertical chimney is a brute-force solution born of enclosure constraints. One machine was Engineered; the other was assembled. The PS5 is the product of coherence, balance, and microarchitectural intention, designed and built by superior Japanese Engineers. The Series X is an overclocked appliance for Scumbags impressed by wattage.
In fact, the Xbox Series X shares a number of technical and philosophical similarities with the Sega 32X, which the PS5 consciously avoided. Both the 32X and the Series X represent architectures conceived as bolt-ons: layers of additional compute power and expanded bandwidth appended to an existing conceptual framework, rather than systems reimagined from first principles. The 32X famously functioned as a parasitic add-on, with its dual SH-2 processors running asynchronously alongside the Genesis hardware, dependent on bus arbitration and prone to latency stalls caused by mismatched timing domains. The Series X, though vastly more capable, echoes this same structural disunity. Its 10 GB/6 GB memory segmentation introduces similar asymmetries in access time; its “Velocity Architecture”—a software bridge attempting to simulate unified I/O behavior—serves much the same purpose as Sega’s middleware abstraction between the Genesis and the 32X. Both machines rely on layering to compensate for design conservatism, and both pay the price in synchronization overhead. Sooooooooooooooo yeah. |

Date: November 1st, 2025 4:20 PM Author: 180 cyan center The ecosystem. But it isn't like Sony where you're all in or not. For example, I'm getting a Legion Go 2 and not the Asus Ally Xbox. I do use the Xbox elite controller for PC gaming too. I do have Game Pass ultimate. My actual Xbox Series X is really being used as a TV streamer.

Date: November 1st, 2025 4:23 PM Author: charismatic know-it-all dilemma therapy This is way too many "things." TVs have all the streaming services on them anyway now. The only thing my PS5 is good at is getting rid of the soap opera effect, which TVs/apps LOVE to default to if at all possible.

Date: November 1st, 2025 4:29 PM Author: 180 cyan center Yeah, it is an old LG C2 and the internal computer is dying. The screen is fine but sometimes the "smart TV" part dies (and then will come back a few days later). So when that happens I use the Xbox console.

Anything OLED (the absolute top screen tech) is all Korean (either LG or Samsung). |

Date: November 1st, 2025 4:49 PM Author: charismatic know-it-all dilemma therapy I have a Sony TV but it's a regular LED afaik. I don't want a $1000k+ TV because my Samsung TV broke after a few years for no reason and having something that expensive break would be bullshit.
