We are mostly wired, but please be aware that technology improves massively over the years and nothing stays static. Wifi has an advantage of not needing cables, having the ability to connect a million devices to the internet where they can communicate with each other without plugging in a wired ethernet cable and speeds and raw bandwidth on Wifi are now pretty insane. We may not recommend it to play SF5, but let's be honest, Wifi was only a detriment if you had a million people pooling over your connection in your house. Even with wired, if you are downloading torrents and playing SF, the experience will be just as bad and sometimes the fault should go to the netcode more than the technology constraints....
Phil is probably down the chief engineer's eardrum right now telling him how this happened? 1 trillion plus revenue, use that money baby, it all belongs to XBOX......So if they really do not have Wifi 6 onboard, their only option is a peripheal device/add on. So at launch they will probably have a Wifi 6 adapter that you can buy at a small cost to you....It's only fair and pro-consumer you see, you get options silly....
When he said "break the bottleneck" (timestamped):
This picture came to mind:
No I think the first revision will get it in a year or so . Wifi6 is not necessity. Its a nice future proofing touch .
I have slim
We will see how Phil responds, that is if the Series X does not have Wifi 6 already. I can't be sure of that yet.....In any case, though Wifi 6 may not be a must for gaming, it definitely helps with stability and connectivity for those who have gravitated towards wifi.....I am just about to wire my home network with 10GBE and my current router is a DLINK AC router, so naturally I'm getting a new AX router as well....They are not expensive and I think many will convert soon.....It's better to have the feature for those who can use it than not....
Not true. Wifi 6 offers same latency than gigabit lan wired connection of around 1ms (this is 75% less than wifi 5) and according to real world test a transfer speed of 1.2-1.5Gbps as seen in the articles posted in this thread, when wired in consoles has 1Gbps of theorical maximum. And on top of that wifi 6 has extra perks like allowing larger distances, extra protection against interferences from other wifis and handling better to have multiple devices connected to the same network.
According to the teardown video DF made with MS Series X doesn't have wifi 6, it has wifi 5 instead.
The same reason they are sure the PS5 does.
It's good to have but wifi6 routers are expensive and most people won't feel a difference imo. That's why many are happily using their isp supplied routers.
? The PS5 WiFi and BT are 100% fact lol
I'm saying that the documents don't say anything about PS5. It may very well be the case, but I would wait for official confirmation.
40Mhz is the channel bandwidth.
In Brasil, US and Peru the module is certified to Sony’s gaming console.
The base original PS4 doesn't support 5ghz. No idea if pro or slim models update that.
You mean the down playing of a wired connection lol. I am sure that wireless connection going though 2 floors and 3 walls of plaster will totally be the same as wired lol. Getting the newest wireless is great but a wired connection is always best it is more consistent and stable with out drop outs.
Whilst your specs are factual, I'll agree to disagree on real world usage if its all the same to you.
First nobody is downplaying wired connection but WiFi 6 is really in the same level or even better in some cases (and that is great because the wireless is finally catching with wired)... so who say it is not is really downplaying WiFi 6 for whatever obscure reason.
I wonder if the thread was only about WiFi 6 tech if people will say what they said here lolWe can't get enough of xbox trolls, can we?
I live in an area with lots of homes built in the 1800s with basements that people keep routers in. Those 1200 square foot mansions are a joy with the thick plaster walls. I had to deal many for work. I have my main shit on 10 foot cables to the router lol. I said it is great Sony included the newest wifi but so many people put the router in the shittiest spot in the house there will still be issues with signal and drop outs. People can quote lab numbers but real world is another thing how people have things set up. Put that router right where the cable comes into the house in the basement. Then bitch about issues. Lab is great real world is always different. That does not count issues with the wifi card and router that cause occasional drop outs lol.
It is convenience... it is easier to put the router near where the cable get in your home... you don't need to break walls to make an inside infrastructure to have the router in another place.
The documents is filed in three places (US, Peru and Brasil) and says "game console".
Now that is hilarious.
Keep dreaming. It's still WiFi and you will not get that performance consistently like Ethernet.
