Maybe with pop in galore.

@ OP

Funny how people thought Sony was behind. Now we have reveals of what really matters, gameplay/games. XSX is getting ratioed and the PS5 is going viral. Who's behind?

The SSD in XSX is plenty fast enough to prevent pop-in. It's throughput is something like 40x faster than the 5400 RPM hard drives in XB1 and PS4. The faster SSD in PS5 will mainly show itself in load times I think, but even then I think it'll be a fairly small improvement.

The only thing Sony seems to have talked about is their SSD tech and how its supposed to be a game changer. Loads of people where skeptical but that Unreal demo did a pretty good job at showing what it all means. Series X also has a very fast SSD but Sony's is still twice as fast. I guess we have to wait and see what that means and how big a role Sony's SSD played in getting those visuals from the Unreal demo on screen. Either Sony paid Epic off, or they truly think Sony's SSD is the biggest breakthrough when it comes to next gen hardware.
