It seems the wait will be worth it as an industry insider who has both development and technical experience with the PS5 claims it is “the most exciting hardware in 20 years.”.
I don’t know how many teraflops (lol) the PS5 has, but this is the sentiment I’ve heard from several technical-minded folks. One told me it was “the most exciting hardware in 20 years.” Will be fascinating to see how it stacks up to the impressive Xbox Series X specs https://t.co/q7i0ET95Yq
