Re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
But there is also the games. There will be some new PS5 exclusive games (at least the Spider-Man one) while literally everything on the XSX will also be available on the Xbox One. It may not perform as well on that system, but if you have to pick just one and have both a PS4 Pro and an Xbox One X, wouldn't you go with the one that has new exclusive games if they're the same price?

Re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
Spider-Man is PS4/PS5
Sackboy is PS4/PS5 also
Demon's Souls (yes, a remake of an 11 year old game...) is PS5 exclusive.
That free Astro's Playroom game is PS5 exclusive.
That Destruction game is PS5 exclusive.
What else was there? I'm not saying Xbox is in ANY better shape on that aspect, because at least PS5 has something exclusive to it, but... oof. So much for "we believe in generations"
I'm 100% down for Demon's Souls, though. That's probably what I'll play first (if I'm ever able to order a damn console)

I'm having trouble finding info on video/audio outputs. Does this have optical out? I don't really care enough about 4K to replace the plasma in my living room, but I could pick up a 4K TV for my bedroom, as long as the PS5 will work with the stereo receiver I have in there mainly for a turntable.

Doesn't matter to me, will get both and get the games I want.

Re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
It's not "NOW":
The new console is “99 percent” backward compatible with the PS4 games the company has tested on it so far, Sony PlayStation boss Jim Ryan said in an interview with The Washington Post. In March, Sony said it believed the “overwhelming majority” of PS4 games would be backward compatible with the PS5, so hearing that “99 percent” should work on the new console is assuring, if unspecific.
It better be 100% BC for PS4 games... at least the ones I own and will play

No, I get that, but they are saying 99% of the games that they tested... with no indication of how many games they have tested so far. And then that they believe the overwhelming majority will be BC.

Re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
Fair enough, but I was talking about launch day titles. Last I checked R&C was somewhere in the launch window but without a date. Either way, that's good to see.
edit: and nothing wrong with Sony saying "99% of PS4 games should work." If there's any that don't, they will very obviously hear about it from fans.

And to be fair, they never said that Miles Morales was coming exclusively to the PS5. You, me, and everybody else assumed it was exclusively a PS5 title, but they never said that. Just that it was coming to the PS5. So not the same as saying one thing and quietly doing the opposite.

Re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
It only matters to me in the point that some people used this as a reason why someone should get the PS5 over the XSX or even staying on the PS4 for awhile.
When your wife asks you if you can play the # game on PS4 and you say no, because Sony only said PS5... well... now it looks like you lied to your wife...
But luckily I also told her that the biggest reason was for the increased performance (and graphics) for PS4 games that are still in my backlog.

Re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
Funny story... I told my wife both consoles were announced with prices and release dates. She asked, "How much?"
"$500"
"Oh, that's reasonable!"
"I know! I'm ordering both."
"Cool. Wait, that adds up to--"
"TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!!"
