I'm glad you think people buy consoles for just the UI, oom.

Staring at the screen all day admiring the UI kinda defeats the purpose of a console ..
But staring 20cm from the screen with a magnifying glass to count pixels to see if its 1800p or 2160p does not defeat the purpose of a console?

My brille was taken of long time ago. One day when you an adult and move out mommies house, yours might come of also and then you might buy PS.

Is that what you going to say the scalper when you buy your PS5 ? maybe they'll chuck in a bundle of some kind at low ridiculous price of R30 000 !

The true colours of the over-clocked 36CU PS5 GPU not being handle a proper game at 4k is now a reality. Cerny said the lower CU count and higher frequency is better than lower frequency and higher CU count. Guess he was wrong!

Enjoy the 1800p game....phhht.

The trade off between easier development due to similar hardware instead of the ability to push more pixels is now starting to show, don't be surprised when a PS5 Pro is announced in the next couple of years.

Imagine the sheer size of the console then ?!

It'll be like a small generator running, mind you the heat generated will be more than enough to power household through loadshedding ! ;)

Ok lets do some counting. So from release almost every review had PS5 top. Now 1 game review, let me say it again 1, comes out with a Xbox dropping frames at a small bit higher resolution, and they all suddenly came running out their basements and claiming a win?
What a bunch of desperate fools.

Here is how its works. Ok this is my theory but I think its close. Sony used a bit older cpu/gpu so they could get their console ready for launch and also developers could get ready. So the PS5 is ready now for what is available and for the next year or two/three.
In a few years when Xbox are finally ready and sorted their games out and optimized etc, Sony will bring out the Pro that will be ready for games of that time, and Xbox will again play catchup.
Remember how powerful the One X was, but nobody cared? It came out a year after the pro and to close to new gen consoles that developers also didn't care.
Xbox and their fanboys run around like a bunch of af kop hoenertjies. Like they are now scrambling to make a controller like PS5. They have no idea what they doing and make all the wrong decisions.

Hopefully you will be able to count to 2160p @ 60fps soon

Nah, the SSD just needs a little time to spin up then we will see the real performance of the boost clocks.

Think of it like vtec

The UI looks fine on my 4K tv. Maybe because its mostly blocks?

The text leaves a lot to be desired, but it’s not the end of the world.

Depending on the size of TV and it’s inherent quality it won’t bother most.

I didn't even notice the UI was not rendered at 4K on my 55" TV compared to the original PS4 interface looking insanely blurry at 1080P.

I do believe it’s internally rendered at 1080p but is still upscale to 4K.

On the PS4 it was just natively output at 1080p as with everything switching to 1080p mode.

So, when most of the results were showing PS5 to be superior to the XSX, the xbox crowd were crying that we should all just let it be, and just enjoy our games regardless.

Now, one - just one - game that shows a better result for XSX, and the self-same crowd are out and baying like a pack of children who got balloons at a party.

This be funny.
