I didn't discover any worthwhile advantages consoles would have, in 3 generations and 15 years. There was never a moment where I said "damn this would be a good feature to have on PC!"You all should learn to ignore that dude in any console threads. I've already had all the same arguments with him as you all are having in this thread. He has the an obvious bias against consoles for some reason, is unwilling to concede any advantage whatsoever that consoles can provide, ignores or dismisses any and all hard evidence you can provide
Apart from the lower initial buyin price what can a console do that a PC can't? And that's not even an advantage to anyone who already owns a PC capable of running games.
See, you are already forced to make excuses for it. Oh it's big, but it's all good since they are focusing on acoustics this time! And with that another advantage of the console bites the dust that was often used by console fans. First it was "but you don't need to install games on a console" then that went the way of the dodo (I'd have preferred to install games even earlier against the ridiculous loading times from disc) Now size advantage is going away as well.Anyways, back on topic; PS5 looks great to me so far other than its massive size. But it seems Sony has finally put acoustics above all else this generation from the early reports of those who have the console on hand, as its being reported as being whisper quite in the games they're able to play on it so far. But the same can also be said of the Series X from what I've seen as well.
And about those acoustics I'll believe it when I hear it, or rather don't hear it. Like Nvidia's 3080FE, where they focused on acustics and the end result is louder hotter and runs at a lower power target than partner cards, LOL.
I expect similar results from the PS5's cooling. It will be a step forward compared to a PS4, but it will still be a hairdrier compared to a well built PC.
