Austin claiming the new cooling system is worse is an opinion. He never claimed he was a scientist or was giving a scientific analysis of of the system's cooling system. This is the same guy that put an XSX into a box to see if it was going to overheat. Nothing scientific about that either but of course no one threatened his life over it either.
The funny thing about his original video is that is was pretty informative. Unless I missed it none of the major Sony fan sites showed the new internal cooling system or performed an extensive analysis of the new system before Austin did. Most had no idea what the new cooler looked like.
The other funny thing is that many of the responses outside of the doxxing and death threats were childish name calling like clown and Xbox shill despite no evidence of that. So we can attack this guy for no proof of scientific analysis but can easily call him a shill with no proof of that either. Jeff Grubb was called an Xbox shill as well and he was one of the first people to say that he didn't agree with Austin's take. He also managed to do that without calling him names as well.
As soon as we get into ad hominem attacks any actual argument is lost. Obviously the doxxing and death threats are on a whole different level. Hopefully this entire episode will get people to actually present an intelligent logical response over an emotional one next time.
The criticism of what his video is that he either doesn't know what he's doing or that he does know what he's doing but he has chosen to do it incorrectly for some reason. Which is of absolutely no importance to me because it has no effect on what he said not tying in with what he did.
He quite clearly gave quantifiable metrics concerning the running temperature of the two consoles but shows that he's not measured either. Any use of metrics such as the ones he used are aby their very definition, science.
He just happened to have been one of the first people who makes a living from YouTube to make a video. I don't understand how that would have made his video of use to you but if it did, that's fine.
For me, I'll do the same as always and wait for a publication/channel/friend that over time I have grown to trust due to them clearly demonstrating that they know what they're doing.
I don't care about what people call "fanboys" and whatever stupidity they're supposed to follow. Normally I wouldn't even reply to somebody who uses such an infantile words but you are misrepresenting what has been happening here and also what I was claiming.
I've never suggested the he was biased in what he was doing, I don't know him or what he does outside of that particular video and I have no interest in any of it because what he has shown here is genuinely of no value to me. I don't care what he is, who he likes or doesn't like, it's of absolutely no relevance to his lack of understanding in what he believed that he was doing and hat he presented.
If you have issues with people saying certain things then I would suggest that I'm probably not the person to mention it to as it's not anything that I have any influence over.
You mention intelligent responses and yet present none concerning his methodology or the fact that he was either intentionally inarticulate or that he lacks the knowledge and/or skill to be able to obtain accurate information.
There is only one way that you can realistically come to the conclusions that he presented and that is by using this sort of methodology.
Fortunately, they, like me have criticised his methodology in reaching his conclusions and are attempting obtain the latest revision of the console so they can test it and work in partnership with Digital Foundry on this, who have also criticised his methodology in obtaining the results that he presented.
Once that has happened there will very likely be a discussion to have about their results but until that there are no sensible conclusions that can be drawn other than we don't have enough information to come to those conclusions.
The New PS5 is Worse
That's the titled copied from his very video, that in itself is entirely unsubstantiated. I don't know who his editor is but whoever it is should really know that it's a very different title to what it should be if he accurately represented his results, even if do we forget that the conclusion he presented is inaccurate anyway.
The New PS5 has a smaller heatsink and temperatures outside the console have risen slightly according to my mobile phone, but to assume that the console itself is worse because of this is foolish right now as we quite simply don't have data to qualify that
Of course I'm not expecting a heading like that on a video but I am equally surprised to read the heading that he did use when you consider that he doesn't have any results which back the heading up.
Anyway, I have to go and cook for people now. Also, I'm bloody hungry!
