Hmmmm how long after release will we hear of faulty units, overheating, blue,green,pink,yellow,orange or whatever lights of death....hmmmm
I mean it can't be that bad.
Anyone want a 24K gold PS5?
Estimated price to be about 8,000$

Mr negatively is being naughty and absent minded and not remembering Mark Cerny stating emphasis was placed on cooling. It's in the tech reveal.Such a terrible Photoshop and CGI job
From looking at the design I don't have much confidence it's going to be reliable, that odd shape looks like such a heat trap.
And because it doesn't follow a tower design like the Series X it's likely using a traditional cooling setup which is so archaic by today's standards.

Like what they say means anything, every generation they say oh look at our revolutionary new cooling system and lo and behold there are numerous reliability issues, usually stemming from heat. They are hardly going to say cooling isn't a focus or theirs knowing that its a constant issue and people will nod approvingly at hearing what they want to hear, good old marketing at work.
Judging by the design it almost certainly uses a blower with a traditional flow-path and blowers aren't great, we have had decades of blowers now and they aren't suitable as a sole solution to cool such powerful systems as shown by the jet engine noises the last few generations have made. Also it's believed the PS5 is overly large to mitigate heat issues, that sounds like a botch to me. Good design doesn't need extra space just to air the place, it screams poor cooling solution.
I guess we will see when we finally see the internals, I don't know why Sony is so coy about revealing them.
What I don't like though, is the reported 5 year planned lifespan of the PS5. To me this means they might not do a "Pro" version, which is good, IMO, but that could also mean that they're saving the next upgrade for the PS6, if they even call it that, or if they even make any more consoles.

SONY is allegedly ramping up production to 10mil for the first year, and aiming for 170mil total units sold. Which is ambitious, and shows they really want their users to move to next gen.

Source (regarding the lifespan and total sales target)
I'm personally still on the fence until they release all details regarding backwards compatibility. I would really like to see some form of upgrade system to a PS5-version of a game, and not be limited to PS4 parameters on a PS5.
I know Microsoft is supposedly implementing this, and I also know for some new games releasing, game devs will give you a free upgrade if you bought their game on current gen.
When you make posts like this why aren't you including links to support what you're saying?Will the PS5 use liquid metal for thermal compound than thermal paste?
New Patent could hint that.
Starting to sound a lot like a big PC with the way things are.
Price will probably be high though.
OppositeDoesn't liquid metal need to be reapplied rather frequently? Not ideal for a device that's (probably) never going to be taken apart.

Liquid metal?
Who's making the new console? Skynet?![]()
It isn't cooling. It's the fan on the Pro version that does a good impression of a jet engine.I haven't had cooling issues on any of Playstation launch consoles. Which of the Sony consoles had the issues?
The launch PS3 fat suffered from YLOD caused by solder cracks. It took a long time for it to show up though.
Which is exactly why most resoldering repair jobs didn't last more than a year.It's been now found out years later that nearly all of the YLOD's were caused by bad capacitors and not the solder on the chips cracking.
I don't think the prices for either have been released yet, only guestimated. It's not uncommon for companies to use guestimated prices in their systems when the load the products into them until an official price is announced. Doesn't mean those won't be the prices, but it does mean there's a good chance this rumoured price isn't from the horses mouth.
If the PS5 does release $100-200 cheaper than the X then I can see it being quite one sided from a sales figures standpoint. But we will find out soon enough, there's not that much of the year left.
