1. Doubt so, all this while DS aren't backward compatible at all, except the wand, so I think it will be the same with DS5, don't forget it's Sony, they'll be capitalizing on the selling the new accessories like DS5 kau-kau
But I'm hoping for longer batt life, DS4 has the poorest batt life in all 3 current gen consoles
I hop they'll remove some of the "useless" feature of DS4, like the mini speaker and the touch pad (hardly any games utilized them anymore), but since they are going for backward compatible, guess they'll be staying

2. External HDD support should be still there, like you said, no way they gonna throw in a big capacity high speed SSD

3. Should still the same, 2 PS4 games & 2 PS5 games as monthly IGC perhaps?

4. New Pro is quieter, it's more of their own manufacturing issue, my Pro's CPU was found without full thermal paste (inferior paste also) coverage, I reapplied and it's not as loud as before.

i think later, all games will be sold as DIGITIZED version only.
seeing that internet technology is improving day by day.

frankly, i prefer digital rather than disc.

Sony already confirmed the PS5 will play PS4 games.

PlayStation 5 specs and details:
◾Custom SoC with second-gen Navi GPU, Zen 2 CPU
◾8-Core, 16-thread Zen 2 CPU at 3.2GHz
◾Navi GPU at 2.0GHz with 36 Compute Units
◾Navi, Zen SoC uses new AMD RDNA 2.0 architecture
◾Ultra-fast SSD
◾Support for 4K 120 Hz TVs
◾Ray-tracing enabled
◾8K output support (for gaming)
◾Plays all PS4 games
◾Separate games that ship on BD-XL Blu-ray discs
◾New controller with extensive haptic and tactile feedback

Feels like sony is playing catch up games like ps3 time where they pathetically failed

they do?

i have very less digital copies, thus didn't realize this.

I would say in real world, the difference will be more than 2 Tflops bcs the 2.23Ghz Sony advertised is the peak which is not sustainable unlike Xbox Series X's locked 1.825Ghz. So actual gaming the PS5 could be anywhere between 9 Tflops to 10.3 Tflops depending on load. So yeah, don't expect 10.3 at all

Lol guys....

PS5's clockspeeds aren't judged by thermal limits, it's tied to POWER limit. This means that all a dev gotta do is fit their game within the power limit to hit the clock rate they want and that's all they gotta worry about.

Example; if the PS5's TDP is 150w and the max allowed for the GPU is 130w to hit 2.23ghz, all the developer has gotta do is make their game run within that power limit. If it can't, they just need to lower the chosen power limit (available through the PS5's SDK toolset) to bring down the clockspeeds. The TDP and clockspeeds co-relation is NOT linear however, minus 10watts does not equal minus 100mhz. From what Cerny says, power to clockspeeds relation is logarithmic.

In theory this means that thermals will always be under control and no matter how hot the PS5 runs (under thermal limits of course since ambient temps will still matter), all PS5 games will perform the same way.

What's the downside to power limits being the factor to clockspeeds? Well, Sony can't put the same trash PSUs they've been putting their consoles for the last 20 years that's what. They actually need to put PSUs with strong 12v rails, one with sufficiently more amps than needed for headroom. It also means that they can't cheese with cheaping out on PSUs anymore like they've always done.

@bolded
Sure, water is wet too no?

Because Sony would deliberately create a cooling system that isn't capable of handling 150w or whatever the TDP is they've decided for the PS5 so that NO ONE would ever hit 2.23ghz right?

looking at this pic..now it doesn't look that bad
really? usb c not for charging ?

is there any advantage using double A batteries nowadays?
i remember last time my xbox 360 had this battery issue that always make the controller disconnect..need to put paper or something ..quite annoying

2 controllers. But really shitty the battery life 

Sony going totally opposite way compare to microsoft. Not sure it will be their downfall or not

What i meant is no need to release exclusive backward la.. at least wat u have with ps4 can continue play on ps5 after u buy ps5, isnt it convenient? Microsoft is doing that and enhanced the experience lagi.

abit dissappointed with no backward compatibiliy.. some ps4 titles that i really wana play. the wait continues..

Not all have backwards compatibilty, summore after july punya game only they mandates developer their game must be ready for ps5. How about before july? Cos like tat sony can milk u again, come out definitive edition last of us part 2 1 yr later cos tis game release june2020. Conlanfirm oledi la.

But the bad thing about digital is, once you buy it you can't trade it after finishing the game.... every game must buy in full price or wait for sale....
