MadalinStroe: I've seen a recent video from Moore's Law Is Dead where he analyzed the situation, and personally I find his interpretation more probable.
Well with Moore's Law (
double the transistors every 18 months) is probably dead yes, speed-wise we got bottlenecked into 3-5Ghz for a while, mostly due to heat production; So they added more cores and more parallel processing. Now they have issues putting more transistors on the dies, at 3nm how transistors work are getting fuzzy with physics where it can't reliably work if they get any smaller.
Though i say that and then i saw a video from LTT where the $5000 machine with 512Gb RAM and 150+ cores and 100TB Storage... Means things could just go towards selling server hardware. Or maybe we don't need anything that powerful...
The next step they've been looking at for a while is Graphene, if they can mass-produce it cheaply...
MadalinStroe: The 4 PRO sold around 10% of what the 4 sold. So Playstation isn't expecting too many 5 PRO to be sold anyway... So why would they price it so high? The same reason NVidia prices its cards higher every year, gradual price anchoring across product generations. Playstation 6 will probably be $800-$900, and the new price point will be easier to swallow, if there is the 5PRO precedent.
Hmmm i'm not convinced. Remember tons of scalpers, so only in the last year or so have people actually been getting the PS5, so the 'units sold' is a terrible metric. I can only hope Scalpers buy up all the Pros, and then the demand is so low they have to sell at a loss and then scalpers will decide it isn't worth it anymore. Also games on option aren't that many, mostly i see remake/remasters or running PS4 games, so the PS5/pro... i don't know. I really don't know.
