So this is AMD catching up with Nvidia in the RT and AI upscaling/frame gen fields. Nothing wrong with it, and I am quite happy as an AMD GPU owner and Linux user.

But the way it is framed as a revolutionary step and as a Sony collab is a tad misleading. AMD is competent enough to do it by itself, and this will definitely show up in PC and the competing Xbox.

I think we don't have enough details to make statements like this yet. Sony have shown they are willing to make esoteric gaming hardware in the past (cell architecture) and maybe they'll do something unique again this time. Or, maybe it'll just use a moderately custom model. Or, maybe it's just going to use exactly what AMD have planned for the next few year anyway (as you say). Time will tell.

I'm rooting for something unique because I haven't owned a console for 20 years and I like interesting hardware. But hopefully they've learned a lesson about developer ergonomics this time around.

Just so we’re clear, you’re talking about a decision that didn’t really pan out made over 20 years ago.

PS6 will be an upgraded PS5 without question. You aren’t ever going to see a massive divergence away from the PC everyone took the last twenty years working towards.

The landscape favors Microsoft, but they’ll drop the ball, again.
