PS5 has performance and overheating issues, launch delay inevitable.

It seems developers have expressed concerns over the PS5's current dev hardware creating overheating issues. Sony is apparently scrambling for a final hardware design which will provide adequate cooling and there is a real possibility of a hardware launch delay until an efficient hardware design is nailed down. https://bgr.com/2020/04/03/ps5-release-date-performance-issues-hardware-failure-rate-rumor/

Did MS do the right thing by giving the XSeX a slightly bulky monolithic design which moves heat from the console very effectively?

Do you live in a cave?

There is already a thread on this topic.

@subspecies: My bad, just now saw the other similar thread although I think it's a different link. But yeah.

@Guy_Brohski: All good, lol. :)

Sony needs to squash these rumors before people start believe the shit is true.

No wonder they haven't shown how the thing will look yet. Gotta make a new box design first, lol.

@Pedro: I also don't believe it but at the same time there's some weird vibe surrounding how Sony is dealing with their reveal.

And assuming both companies know more about each other than the general public, MS has been mentioning their form factor and cooling solution quite a lot. Which in a tin foil hat interpretation could be seen as a provocation.

And there were reports earlier this year talking about the PS5 having a very expensive cooling solution. It might mean they solved the problem but in a way that will compromise the final price, meaning they might be rethinking their solution. Plus MS might surprise us all price wise, at least the way Phill Spencer mentioned that they will take into account the incoming difficult economy on their final price.

I'm not saying it was aliens but it was aliens.

Mark Cerny says otherwise:

didnt cerny already address this in the deep dive?

I haven't heard of your source either so... still BS.

@Pedro: Yep, not exactly sure what the hell they are doing.

Obviously these rumors are far from proven. But it’s literally all over the media. Time to fully address.

Like others said, we've got a thread on the toasterstation
