So it turns out I was right as usual with videogames markets, PS5 is slightly less powerfull.

One thing I might have been wrong all this time, now I think Sony will push the price up very close to Xbox, with all that talk about SSD and futuristic audio, it sounds as they are creating a reason to put the price up.

I was slightly wrong on storage, I thought it would be 500ssd, its actually 820ssd, maybe 600gb for the consumer, that's actually better than I anticipated, but now I'm worried about costs, if this thing costs minimum 500dollars it will make people not want to upgrade soon.

I'm actually shocked that the ps5 doesn't run all ps4 games, but 100games is a great start.

My biggest worry now is the cost of external storage, I prefer Microsoft approach, I also like the modular building of the xbox, so easy to upgrade in the future, Ill go with Microsoft if Sony doesn't have that.

My biggest question was vapor cooling, which is confirmed on xbox, so that's one big reason to pay a bit extra and get the xbox if Sony doesn't have that.

PS - the most important thing is, this generation the gap is much lower than last, we had last generation something like 30% more power on ps4, this time the gap will be like 10%, so its going to be good for developers and consumers. And the speedier PS5 SSD might make up for that 10% anyway.

So basically, if sony has modular design at least for the graphics card, and vapor cooling, Ill buy ps5 on launch, if not, then xbox.

Seems like you misunderstood the BC. They have tested the top 100 played and they are all working fine, that doesn't mean other games aren't already playable or that they won't increase the count until launch for games that don't work perfectly.

On the SSD not sure they would use this very expensive solution for the OS as well and take 225Gb of the memory with it, either they will put a simpler and cheaper SSD for the OS or it won't be this massive. They are doing all possible to free up memory (all the SSD control and RAM cleaning) to them dump 1/4 of the expensive SSD for OS.

Which console do you remember have made it a good working upgrade your system yourself? The most we had was either attachments like Sega CD or ethernet/HDD on PS2 so I wouldn't expect you to be able to increase RAM or GPU on your console.

You'll be able to buy and insert the SSD into PS5 just fine even if it isn't proprietary like MS, sure you'll have a harder time needing to research if it is compatible.

Not sure why you are concerned about PS5 having or not vapor chamber, if you were talking about the cooling being enough or silent at least it would be a metric more relevant than the type itself.
