While I do appreciate the technical input, I know there's more to it than just CU's and the PS5 is proof of that. The post I was replying to suggested that maybe the public won't care about the drop in power with the Switch 2 because the public didn't care about the drop in power with the PS5. I was just saying that, that's only because the drop in power couldn't be seen or felt, whereas in the PS4 and Xbone it absolutely could and look at the difference it made to the public perception of the Xbone. People cared a lot about power because they want to feel the piece of tech they are buying is advanced and cutting edge.

I get that.

There ARE going to be people who care about the drop of power with the Switch 2.
And there are going to be people don't care about the drop of power with the Switch 2.
And there are going to be people who care about the drop of power from the Playstation 5 Pro to Playstation 5.

We are all different people with different tastes, goals and expectations... And that is why all these devices that target different performance tiers and pricing exist, because we all like different things.

The drop of power between the Series S and Playstation 5 is arguably a larger gulf than what we saw with the Xbox One and Playstation 4.
The extra speed of the PS5's SSD basically was non-existent advantage, just like the Xbox Series X larger SoC is a non-existent advantage, they are for all intents, basically the same consoles.

I was just wondering recently if that super fast SSD choice was a total waste of money on Sony's part. All of the PS5 games that get ported to PC can run perfectly fine on a cheap and slow (relatively to ps5) SSD.
