hinch said: The prices outside of US is insane. £700 is ridiculous for a console which has essentially a low tier, mid range GPU. And its not even that better speccced than a regular PS5. If it had double or more performance (raster) and even more RT performance I could maybe see it. To add insult to injury they don't even include a disk drive. Nor a Pro controller. I guess this is what you get when Microsoft essentially exits the console business, in the traditional sense anyways. |
What do you consider low tier mid range?
- "67% more Compute Units than the current PS5 console and 28% faster memory. Overall, this enables up to 45% faster rendering for gameplay, making the experience much smoother."
- double to triple Ray tracing performance
- AI driven upscaling

That's relatively small. A lot of these projects take several years.
And they're selling it at a high price.
I'm not saying they don't need it to sell at all, just that they probably only "need" it to sell like a million.
