so is the future finally here or what
welcome to watchmojo.com ting down our
picks for the top 10 things we know
about the PS 5 and Xbox series X
and you would be perfect together number
ten backwards-compatibility
the question of backwards-compatibility
remains a big one
while the ps4 was enormous ly successful
most people ballon its lack of proper
backwards compatibility relying instead
on an expensive and unpredictable
streaming service PlayStation CEO Jim
Ryan has hinted strongly about the PS 5
having ps4 backwards compatibility there
are also rumors that it'll support older
PlayStation iterations but so far
there's no confirmation
those going with the Xbox this
generation have nothing to fear Phil
Spencer has confirmed that the Xbox
Series X will be backwards compatible
with the original Xbox Xbox 360 and Xbox
one so now you can finally play that
game from 2004 that's been in your
backlog for 16 years
number 9 still using discs not one to
hurry them you may have thought we'd be
leaving physical disks behind as we
venture deeper into the age of streaming
and digital downloads but it looks like
they'll be around for at least one more
generation cycle what are you working on
are just a side project it has been
confirmed that both PS 5 and Xbox series
X will be employing Ultra HD blu-ray
discs support which can currently hold
66 gigabytes or 100 gigabytes that said
you can certainly still download if
that's more your thing but fear not
those of you who like a physical
collection because discs aren't going
anywhere man does he ever stop inventing
number 8 configurable installation on PS
5
the way out one of the biggest pains of
modern gaming is the laborious
installation process Red Dead Redemption
pew comes out you're psyched as hell to
play it and then you have to wait hours
til the massive thing installs even with
a physical copy maybe we'll get lucky
and they'll blow themselves up luckily
that problem is being addressed for ps5
through a configurable installation what
this means is that players will be able
to install the parts of the game they
want and/or delete certain sections of
the game without installing or deleting
the entire file for example you can
choose to download just the multiplayer
component without worrying about the
campaign or vice versa star they use
from last time
no matter window didn't do it for you
number 7 SSD storage
it's confirmed that both the PS 5 and
the Xbox Series X will employ SSD
storage over traditional hard drives SSD
will result in significantly faster
loading times as an SSD can read and
write at speeds up to 500 megabytes
compared to a traditional hard drive at
160 megabytes get the chopper ready I
won't be long
Sony's mark Cerny claims that SSD is
quote the key to the next generation and
that the PS 5 SSD has quote a raw
bandwidth higher than any SSD available
for PCs to demonstrate this point
certainly played spider-man on a ps4 pro
and an SSD equipped DevKit device the
ps4 pro version loaded in 8 seconds the
dev kit 0.8 seconds hold on to your
butt's people thanks spider guy it's
spider-man number 6 4k 60fps support yes
there's a volcano there king's bay
which means we need to get a move on as
we venture into the Roaring Twenties
2.04 case should become even more
mainstream streaming services like
Netflix and Amazon are offering 4k
content 4k TVs are getting cheaper by
the day and the ps4 Pro and Xbox one X
already support 4k resolutions though
they do struggle to hit 60fps we're
leveraging high bandwidth GD v r6 to
ensure that we're getting the best
performance possible well it looks like
the next-gen will take care of all of
those issues
PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan has stated his
aim to bring 120 Hertz or K 60 FPS
gaming to the PS 5 and Phil Spencer has
also claimed that the Xbox Series X is
aiming to support native 4k at 60fps
both have even spouted claims of basic
8k support but we should really pump the
brakes on that for now let's focus on
getting true 4k first now we can take
all of that power and apply it back into
the scene so we can actually generate
more life in that world and bring it to
the game or in a seamless way
number 5 ray tracing not only that but
thanks to D LSS I've been running at 4k
with maximum settings including our TX
at a pretty solid 60fps
it's been confirmed that both the PS 5
and Xbox Series X will have real-time
ray tracing and you may be asking what
exactly is this ray tracing well in
simple terms it's a technique that
allows for life like distorted
reflections on glossy surfaces because
the procedure requires intense power to
render such a procedure is not as widely
adopted and it is impossible on current
gen consoles and the Sun finally doesn't
work like flipping a light switch when
it's dark it's dark but when it's
Twilight that time between day and night
you gradually lose light nevertheless
some PC games do have ray tracing tech
including call of duty modern warfare
Metro Exodus and the upcoming cyberpunk
2077 expect to see a ton more in the not
so distant future the dynamic weather
system is gorgeous and there's a
tangibility to the world that gives
genuine immersion but r-tx brings it to
the next level number 4 price we will
make PlayStation 3 available via a to
configuration plan one with a 60
gigabyte hard drive disk and the other
with a 20 GB
hardrive perhaps the biggest question on
everyone's minds are the prices because
let's face it all this fancy tech can't
come cheap
will we be facing another ps3 fiasco the
60 gigabyte ps3 infamously launched for
$600 and I remember because I begged my
dad to get it for me but he didn't and
it nearly killed the PlayStation brand
as we know it the 60 gigabyte
Playstation 3 for 599 US dollars six
hundred and fifty nine dollars Canadian
unfortunately we still have no word on
pricing from either company and there
are other factors worth considering
namely inflation rising manufacturing
costs and the trade war between the US
and China of which Sony Microsoft and
Nintendo jointly expressed concerns
historically though both Sony and
Microsoft have sold their launch
consoles at a loss in favor of recouping
venue from exclusive game sales so it's
likely that they'll still stay under the
$600 mark we will sell the 20 gigabyte
PlayStation 3 for 499 euros and the 60
gigabyte PlayStation 3 for 599 euros
including v80 number three the Xbox
Series X might be more powerful it's
gonna occur in resolution and frame
rates that we've never seen before like
never seen before we're looking at frame
rates up to 120 frames per second if the
rumors and leaks are to be believed the
Xbox Series X will be more powerful than
the PS 5 digital foundry released some
leaked data through Eurogamer claiming
that the Xbox Series X will have the
power of a high-end PC and they also
suggested that the Xbox will be 1.3
times as powerful as the PS 5 this isn't
just a console launch this is about the
future of gaming this corroborates what
those plans are meant by the Xbox
setting the benchmark for console gaming
yeah that's probably just PR speak but
you never know there might be some truth
to it that being said a more powerful
GPU doesn't guarantee success consoles
are sold largely on price and enticing
exclusives not their GPUs being slightly
more powerful than their competitors
most everything
there's nothing left rosy number two
Xbox is not focused on Dr
the late 2010s promised a surge in
virtual reality gaming 2016 saw the
commercial release of the oculus rift
the HTC vive and the PlayStation VR
[Music]
unfortunately for some virtual reality
technology just doesn't seem to be there
yet and the headsets so far haven't been
able to reach their niche market bill
Spencer realizes this and as such the
Xbox Series X will not feature virtual
reality capabilities
Spencer has numerous issues with VR
including its imposed isolation
imperfect video games and lack of
substantial sales
he claims that quote nobody is asking
for VR from the series X replaced ation
though mark Cerny has confirmed that the
current PS VR headsets will be
compatible with the PS 5 though there's
no talks about a new headset just yet

release dates you know don't rush make
sure that you're safe I will always do
perhaps the biggest question aside from
the price is just when these things are
coming out both consoles have been
confirmed for holiday 2020 so that
narrows it down to the usual October
November release window we can probably
narrow it down to November as the ps3
ps4 Xbox 360 and Xbox one all launched
in November
but can we get even more direct
allegedly according to some 4chan and
Twitter leaks we could expect the PS 5
on November 20th and the Xbox series X
on November 22nd this is more than a
little questionable
seeing as how November 22nd is a Sunday
but it would line up to a plea Black
Friday release which is November 27th in
2020 so who knows can you say see you in
