Impressive what HW that won't cost more than $500 will be able to do.

Great use of Irony. We all know PS5 isn't capable of those graphics at 4k, which will most likely be a demand for all next gen games. Even a current 2000dollars PC can't do that without heating issues, or huge fan noise, or frame drops.

Xbox series X could be closer to be able to, but it won't cost only 500dollars, I even have my doubts if PS5 will be only 500dollars.

Yes, PR wording, or even strategical lack of words, could make people imply that was full fledged RT and 4k on a PS5, while it was lower res, on a devkit on a PC more powerful than PS5 and it used a kind of lighting less computing heavy than full fledged RT. Anyhow, although 4k on $500 HW makes me smile too, GPU real world performances growth is always less than theoretic one and medium-low-power consumption GPUs, as those viable for a console APU, are still far from delivering that, if that HW will be able to offer acceptably good FX at a stable 60Hz or more at 1080p or slightly better, I'll be quite happy, as not too later PCs with low power Zen 3 CPUs and low range RDNA 2 GPUs will most probably offer a respectable 1440p with good framerate and decent FX that would make power lovers unhappy, but surely will make me happy (after staying turned off a month my old PC died and as I'm forced to do it earlier than I wanted, I'm gonna build a new one with a cheap Ryzen 2600, 16GB RAM, luckily found at a very few euros more than 8GB, and recycling the old fanless  R7 250 GPU, waiting for much more powerful low power consumption HW to make a real major upgrade, for a temporary upgrade Zen+ as cheap as possible made more sense than a much more expensive Zen 2 that, except the most powerful, power-hungry and expensive models, will be outperformed soon even by mid or even mid-low range Zen 3, and the most powerful current fanless GPUs are really outdated and desperately needing RDNA 2 successors, as except on laptop models, they are two evolutions old compared to the latest full-power models, and except the next custom models for consoles, current APUs aren't in a better situation).
