if you really want to jaga her mata, Nintendo Switch is the one to go, at least it has a parental control app where you can control her screen time, there's none on other consoles

but if really wanna jaga mata? avoid let her play any video games until she's much older


what processing power you're concern about here? All of switch games can be played on big screen anyway, no issues with my 4K 75" screen also

I have all the consoles btw...

50% yield weiii.. for some companies, anything less than 80% also sudah scrap whole lot for fear of reliability issues even for the good units.

but then again, this is SoC.. different perspective maybe.

xbox no such problem.. sony have.. so chip design kalah xbox? seems like ps3 vs xbo360 era coming soon lol.

just curious will malaysia get the same release date? will likely get this on day 1

More reason to wait then.
If this is true, chances of getting a lemon is pretty high.

I don't know why you guys are paranoid over early units.

Simply saying SoC doesn't mean jack shit. The console has several SoCs in it. The CPU, GPU and memory controller is on its own SoC. The audio and video output is on another, the network is on another, the I/O is also on another. This is basic 101 embedded system design that they teach you on the first year of computer science.

So the report saying "SoC", okay which one lol?
50% yield may sound low. But you gotta understand the scale of manufacturing before you put that number into perspective. 50% of what?

As for chances of getting a "lemon" is pretty high, that's... putting it in a very simplistic manner. If the part is passed under QC, it'll work. An SoC in its own doesn't just stop working. If it stops working, the problem would be related to the internal circuits connecting the SoC to another part of the system. The SoC doesn't just fail, which is to say the problem would be elsewhere and has almost nothing to do with low yield rate.

People get paranoid when they hear about low yields and then jump to conclusion thinking Sony would just pass all parts even though they borderline passed the QC. Let's put it this way, majority of consumer CPUs and GPUs are actually flawed yields since the dawn of microprocessors. This is more so in consoles as their production is massive. There is no "fresh cut" off the wafer, it's always the flawed ones that gets cut, then partly disabled for further headroom of success.

That gematsu article is click bait as far as I'm concern. Nevermind, gematsu article is indeed stupid.

EDIT Welp, I went and actually read proper report from Bloomberg which took their source from TSMC. So the SoC yield problem in question is for the CPU and GPU.
This is normal because TSMC hasn't had very high yield rates for 7nm since Zen 2 launch. Do you see people complaining about Ryzen 3000 CPUs failing? Do you see people complaining about the Navi, 5000 series GPUs killing themselves?

Quick short answer - No.
Stop worrying over nothing.

If Microsoft Malaysia bring Xbox in officially I might consider
As their game pass very good

Lesser people buy, higher chances for other people like me to get one unit

Been using PS4 first gen since it launched. Didn't have any major issue considering I performed proper maintenance on the unit.

hahaha this is what im thinking too i bought 2 PS4 at the launch date, both still working good , which is about 7 years edi

I'm very sure the majority of the 11 mil units they set to produce this year will be reserved for the US market. Europe and Asian markets, lol... tunggu next year la.

Tak pe, at least not having negativity on the console.

From what I checked with Sony SG, they are aiming to launch at Fall 2020. That's if they can get the stock.

The yield rates are probably due to the GPU being unable to hit the stated clock speed.

Nevertheless, I’m going to wait. There are still enough rumors going around to warrant caution. Not to mention official launch /warranty support in malaysia might be even later.

I let you guys beta test the PS5 for a couple of months.

hopefully sony malaysia got open pre order for ps5 lol want to switch to ps5 asap and sell my ps4 pro.

Ok confirm... for me after two years in the market only I will buy... this is a bad sign just like PS3/xbox360 era

Sony has reached out to GamesIndustry.biz with the following statement denying the Bloomberg report:

“While we do not release details related to manufacturing, the information provided by Bloomberg is false," the statement reads.

"We have not changed the production number for PlayStation 5 since the start of mass production."

For me, the 3rd or 5th hardware revision would be the most reliable ones.

I put off buying day one until it is stabilized.

So what I did is to buy the physical games first long before getting the consoles later.

why buy physical game first? later u buy cheaper wat.. u cant even play lol.

Some of these physical games will be out of print and impossible to be purchased new.

Err exclusive will become playstation hits selling at half price. see god of war, spiderman etc.
