Sony Doubles Playstation 5 Orders Amid High Demand

According to the Bloomberg report, Sony has reportedly doubled Playstation 5 orders and plans to ship 10 million units this fiscal year. Originally, Sony wanted to ship 5-6 million units between November of this year and March 31st of 2021. However, Sony is seeing a very high demand for its next-generation console and it had to double the production orders. Being manufactured in Kisarazu, Japan, the company can assemble two Playstation 4 consoles every minute, which is pretty impressive and gives hope that Sony can satisfy the demand for the new console. When the manufacturing costs of the console are broken down into parts, memory is making for more than half of it. The super-fast PCIe 4.0 SSD and GDDR6 memory cost about $250 combined. Reports are suggesting that the entire console costs an amazing $450 to manufacture.

T4C FantasyIt's more like medium to very high settings, with the way last of us 2 looks on a Ps4 on any res even though 30fps is highly respectable.
Maybe but this is not PS4 we are talking about here. Considering all the eye teasers we've seen, these look fantastic on the PS5 or new Xbox. I don't think there will be a lot of difference between PC and Consoles. Besides when you compare PS4 to PC, games might look a bit blurry on a PS4 and shadows are slightly less realistic but that is mostly it. Depending on the game of course. Either way we will see it all when the new consoles are out :)
I think the details will be set on high in every game not low nor medium. That's how I see it but who knows for sure.
