    Um… Of course it would be. Why wouldn’t it be? It’s not going to be less powerful than the current systems. What a stupid headline.

      It’s like when Apple says iPhone n is the fastest iPhone ever created at their announcement event. I would certainly hope so.

        „It is the second fastest and third best looking iPhone yet!“

      It’s not going to be less powerful than the current systems.

      It’s not like the headline implies that it could or should be less powerful. It’s a simple headline that conveys a simple message that a regular reader might find worth clicking.

    I mean duh?

    That said, I think the bigger question is how are consoles going to respond to the vastly growing cost of GPUs and power consumption.

      600EUR console vs 2000-3000EUR PC. I get it, PC gives you more options what to do and what to play, but getting a console is not waste of money in my books.

          First of all, who are you to decide what I need and what I don’t need? Secondly, okay, 1500-2000 EUR for a mid-range PC. Even the lower boundary is 2.5 times more expensive than PS5. With Xbox the difference is even bigger.
