DonFerrari said: Yep I understand it. But would be quite asinine to have the chip cost the same as Xbox to deliver 20% less don't you agree? And my point was more on, since clockrate increase isn't something so simple to do (even when Xbox One was reacting to being weaker than PS4, which was after both had revealed their specs the increase was quite small and only on CPU and also Xbox had a much bigger box so the cooling was likely easier to tweak for the increase in CPU clock) the whole use of smartshift, two controlers for TDP and all else wasn't something reactionary to MS. It was Sony thinking it was the best solution for them on the budget they had. | I agree. Form factor could also play a role, though. MS basically went with a mini pc design, which will be hard to fit in most people's tv setups and maybe Sony didn't want to take that route. But my guess is that the ps5 will be at least $100 cheaper

Nahhh I'm quite happy with the minitower design of Xbox, seem quite sleek and pretty for me. I guess with some creativity most people will be able to fit it in their room.
