I almost chocked on my coffee in the first 20 seconds :)

    “Minute differences” is a bit absurd. It may have been a bit too long since you’ve booted up your PS4.

      I stopped after the PS3wii360 but I have to say, the PS4 was legit garbage that took FOREVER to load and played like poo (hence why I stopped) but I gotta admit the base PS5 and Xbox whatever are FANTASTIC machines. The AMD video chips and SSDs make a heck of a difference.

        That’s really the key. The PS4 and even Pro were fighting for their lives by the end of the generation. Anyone who claims the upgrade to a PS5 was “minute” is lying to themselves about their jet engine PS4

          Could not agree more. I left consoles for only computer and stopped caring about exclusives, and even my removed ass recognizes the PS5 as amazing. The PS4 was horrible though. You’re totally right.

      We gained ssd drives sure, I agree that’s a great improvement.

      But 4k30 still feels like a minute upgrade as it’s not native 4k.

      Forget about the stated 8k on the PS5 box, lol.

      What else did we gain… Less battery life for the controller (but the haptics are great).

      More thumbstick drift.

      Maybe, 8 exclusives? 12?

      Not worth it to me.

        Yes besides all of the brand new hardware that improved load times dramatically and can reliably play games at 60fps without blowing out your eardrums due to fan noise, the best new controller to hit the market since the first rumble pak, and all the new games to play on it, it didn’t improve much… lol

        You better settle in bucko because I have some bad news, it only gets more incremental from here.

            Nah, just a guy who has actually used both consoles and understands the state of Compute today.

              Alright, you do you. I’m not happy with Sony’s approach, so I won’t be buying any of their new products.

              (Unless they make a Vita 2 that is actually priced well for the specs)
