Yeah I also see Sony doing something with cross buy, I just don't like this "best version of a game" thing. I would much rather see developers focus on a single platform and really try to get the best results out of it like we've always seen on consoles. Having a bunch of different SKU's with wildly different specs makes me slightly worried which one they'll end up using as the base console, though.

It's a bit like the X1X or a high-end pc. They're great but nobody makes games that were designed from the ground up to take full advantage of the extra horse power. I mean the X1X is 4 times more powerful than the Xone but it's not like games look 4 times better on it. They look sharper and run at a higher fps, but that's mostly it. On pc it's the same thing, you can play ps4 games at 4k and ultra settings but a RTX2080 could do helluva lot more. Just to give you an idea, here's a tech demo that's running on a single 1080ti gpu. It probably doesn't run at native 4k on a 1080ti but it's a pretty big leap from what we're seeing today on current gen consoles, because it wasn't designed to run on a bunch of different devices: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKu1Y-LlfNQ

And knowing this you'll go for PC instead of Series S for what reason?

I will be going for ps5 (and pc for playing in 4k and a higher fps). It's not that I don't care about resolution and a high fps, it's just that I would hate to see developers focus too much on it in console games. Here's another example of what's possible on the ps4 pro if a developer chose to really make full use of the hardware, it runs in 720p but it looks pretty amazing though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhpn96bbzkk
