Discussion Should MLID be considered a legitimate source

[511]

TBH

MLID is going from semi-accurate to mostly-accurate

He is going in the reverse direction if you ask me

 

[fastandfurious6]

nah I think his latest on zen6/ps6/xbone6 etc is quite accurate

The specs may be the performance target No he has never been accurate on performance target.

When he first heard of Magnus he used chatGPT & concluded that it was for PS6

Based on what? His accuracy for unreleased stuff can't be judged until that stuff is released.

• The PS6 and its handheld are manufactured in Q2 of the upcoming year, making a late 2023 to Q1 2024 launch unlikely; a Q4 2023 or early 2024 release is more probable, with a late 2024 or early 2025 target for broader availability.

Yes, the PS6 is indeed unlikely to launch in late 2023.

Truly, LLMs are the future.

MLID's PS6 BOM estimates:



I think he is way too conservative with $10 per GDDR7, unless it's 2028 release.

Why post AI garbage?

Why post AI garbage?

To save people from wasting 2 hours on MLID's garbage video.

Well, it output some gibberish about how the PS6 may not be coming out in 2023. Yay?

@Kepler_L2 on NeoGAF had similar estimates for Orion so that's in the ball park.

PS6 BOM really depends how things are in a year's time. If costs drop enough to allow a $599 PS6 Digital WW then Sony will do that.

I'm more of a "let's focus on the positives" kind of guy. The gist of the video was delivered. Better than nothing. And certainly better than MLID's word salad.

Without actual photos, everything MLID says is just talking out of his ass. It’s weird how many gaming YouTubers and media outlets still eat up his claims.

Because they’re trying to get part of his traffic/reputation.

 

[511]

At least MLID has original Leaks even though they are made up 🤣 🤣

 

[Ranulf]

Given that the PS5 pro with two controllers is $799 in Costco right now, $599 for the slim disc version, $549 for non disc version I don't see the ps6 going for less than $800.

 

[DAPUNISHER]

GTA6 edition will sellout at $1200-$1500 is my prediction. Corpos have adopted the meme; look at me, I'm the scalper now.

I'm fairly certain that's not the case, plus dunno how would that work, really.

The reason for poorer quality leaks or rumors being reposted (assuming it's not just lazyness or poor experience/judgment of the writer - or even, AI being used instead of human) is that media simply need regular stream of material to post.
Some days there's enough to fill your spice-must-flow needs/obligations, some days there's not so if MLID or even somebody fishier has something that can provide a news piece at the right time, you take it.

There is also an excuse of sorts - if you don't publish a take on his leak where you try to frame it responsibly (add caveats, ignore parts that you think are not actual leak but his potentially wrong extrapolations, etc), people will instead read about the stuff through other sites that will repost it in a dumber way, since you are (you wish, lol) a better, more experienced reporter. Hahaha...

(Note: I would not call *all* his content poor quality. After all, even on this forum we discuss some stuff he threw out so clearly some of it sometimes is relevant enough to report on.)

need to see if this price holds until 2028

in general yes, PS6 launch price cannot be less than the prevailing market price of ps5 pro

I can buy into this simply because GTA6 will be console only at launch and then PC in probably 1 year if we go by past history with GTA5 and RDR2. Otherwise I'm skeptical because the game is starting to take too long and given who is working/running Rockstar these days I don't think the game will be as good as past games. Though all they have to do is make the online part competent. But toss in the bad economy and I think it will be a hard sell.

Ananta, the anime gta is also in contention to take away interest from gta6.

Yeah. Looks like a lot of fun.

I have to laugh at this one. In this economy? GTA6 being $80-100? I dont think the console ships for that much. Then again, what do I know about consoles other than the N64, PS2, and Xbox 360?

The latest price hike for the PS5 Pro is $900 "in this economy". Limited edition bundle models of the newest flagship are going to cost more than that.

Is RGT a legitimate source?
