I currently have older 4K tvs but no HDR, and was planning to cop one when I got a next gen console... You think that makes a difference?
PS5 SSD is far ahead of those found in high end PCs according to Epic founder.

Sony isnt proclaiming any solid numbers right now, and the ps4 pro shows that they have no problem aiming for sub 4k resolution. I think checkerboard 4k will be the norm on ps5 just like the pro.
They're claiming that the way the system accesses the SSD can take some of the workload off the APU.
The I/O alongside the SSD is what makes it special.
NVIDA has DLSS that can help even their budget cards get 60fps in 4k, so it's not impossible for the ps5 to to get 4k 60fps utilizing some kind of software
Bboystyle
Bang Bang Packers gang!
HDR is a better picture quality in general so u should cop one even if u dont game.
If 4k 60fps was the goal then Sony would have just went with power like Microsoft.
Sony is going with variable frequencies next gen so I seriously doubt that native 4k is the target.

My opinion:
consoles should aim to run multiplayer games 1440p 60 fps (halo, gears, call of duty etc)
and single player games 4k with locked 30 fps (uncharted, last of us, etc) instead of checkerboard 4k with inconsistent 60 fps (my understanding is some games dip down to 45-50 fps when more particles on screen)
having a locked, smooth 30 fps is better than having a choppy 60 fps, if that makes sense. On single player games like tomb raider and uncharted I doubt anyone would care its 30 fps as long as it was beautiful looking and not choppy.
aiming for 4k 60 fps on almost all games is basically like hopping in your car and trying to push your engine to max speed just driving to the grocery store. Can your car do it? Sure. Would put a lot of stress on your car though. Its ok to drive the speed limit.
Would make the games beautiful and smooth. Amd 3700x comparable processor and nvidia 2070 gtx comparable gpu in these systems should accomplish both feats easily and then devs could focus on game play little more instead of allocating so much resources for a slight fps or resolution boost.

I'll believe this when I see this. Plus the PC will easily outpace both consoles by their release.

High end PCs already outpace Ps5 and new xbox by about 15-18%.
next gen intel and nvidia cards this year will put the difference around 30% in PC favor. This year.
new consoles are comparable to nvidia 2070 gtx and amd 3700x
A 2080 gtx + amd 3900x or intel 9900k will out perform these next gen consoles already.
Intel 10900k, amd 4000 series and nvidia 3000 series coming out this year will move the marker incredibly more.
Consoles shine on value. $399 (or $499 whatever it will be) is amazing value for a nvidia 2070 gtx, amd 3700x comparable build.
Talking about SSDs specifically.

Oh. No current PC SSD is near the speed of Ps5 SSD speed. Will probably be very expensive when it is available.
Most popular SSD in PC is 600 mb/s
highest current speed (very expensive) is 5 gb/sec
Ps5 ssd is 5.5 gb/sec
SSD is mid priority for PC builds. I doubt we see the needle move much on that for few years.
im more curious on the air flow of the new consoles and how that will hold up and how theyll prevent over heating/defective consoles
We hear this shyt every generation and every generation PC is better. PC has no spec limit. 2-3 years from now there will be PC SSDs that ae faster than the PS5 because of course there will be faster SSDs. Any time somebody talks about console in comparison to PC like this its just to build buzz. It's meaningless fluff in reality.
I'm pretty sure there are some SSD for PC on the market that are much faster.

The fastest current PC SSD available for purchase is 5 gb / second.
I was about to say that. And isn't PS5's 5.5? Either way 6.5gb are on their way for PC.
Edit:
The Epic founder even admits there are just as fast PC SSDs on the market.
Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says the PS5 is so impressive it’s ‘going to help drive future PCs’
According to this article he was mostly talking from a development standpoint.

According to the latest Steam survey only 0.77% of GPUs are the RTX 2080Ti but let PC gamers on message boards tell it every single one of them runs a maxed out rig and the 2080Ti is the standard GPU level for PC. The GTX 1060 is the most popular card but even that is only 11% of the market.
