GameCube had a pretty awesome launch line-up. Luigi's Mansion, Rogue Squadron II, Super Monkey Ball, Wave Race. Smash Bros. Melee and Pikmin followed in the next month or so.

I think that's the last time I really struggled to pick launch games :p I was 15. I could only afford a couple of games to go with the console, but how do you pick from that lot?!!?!?
 
Most wanted (original) and underground2 the best NFS we have had, I didn't mind the I think 2018? one which was just called Need for Speed

However online always and no pause system was a faff
 
And he said he’s already made it up because the negativity towards Xbox was getting out of balance so he wanted to tip it back to PS5. This entire build up has been completely pathetic.

What an idiot. He had earned a good reputation as a reliable leaker of all things Resident Evil, and then just takes it upon himself to level the playing field... By arbitrarily making **** up? Muppet.
 
I don't really get why he's getting such a hostile reaction. The price claim seems in line with other predictions, partly due to the cost of parts for the two machines, and partly due to an expectation that Microsoft will be aggressive on price. And the power one? Series X does native 4K, while PS5 does "fake 4K" (checkerboarding?). If all else is equal, that suggests the performance gap isn't anything crazy.

Doesn't the PS4 already do 4k checkerboarding, in which case as the PS4 is a lot more powerful (I realise games will be more demanding) but shouldn't it be able to manage it?

PS5 will be plenty capable of handling native 4K. But when it comes to multi-platform games, if the Series X is indeed more powerful, you're going to see that manifest itself somewhere. Using checkerboarding on the PS5 version of a game is simply one option open to developers (one that has a fairly minor downside).

Checkerboarding didn’t make much traction this gen so I’m more expecting 4K native in Xbox and about 1800p on PS5. Indistinguishable without Digital Foundry.
 
Tbf nothing wrong with the technique when I played HZD on PS4 Pro I felt look bloody stunning.

Granted I high quite a nice Samsung QLED which helps but even so I was more than impressed.

Same with GOW that also used chequerboard technique to my knowledge and I never noticed it was true 4k
