  • Microsoft is currently trailing Sony in communication but that will presumably not matter as we near the actual launch of the consoles
  • Both consoles are equally powerful, and VERY powerful at that
  • Sony's current aim with PS5 is accessibility

Sweet.
Personally, I'm 100% going day-one for Scarlett/XB2. The first console launch where I'll be going day-one :D

I mean, it's not going to equal or surpass a 2080ti so I don't know what very powerful means. For the price point they are aiming for, I'd be very surprised if it was 'very powerful'.

That's to be expected. I do still believe that Sony will definitely have a more toned system. Meaning more custom hardware such as the bespoke sad system. From the sound of it, ms will employ a regular ssd. But off course this is just speculation.

2080 ti is not possible. Amd doesn't even have a GPU that rivals the rtx 2080 non super. I actually expect next gen consoles to have 5700 level of performance with some custom hardware for raytracing. So around 2060 super. Which is still great imo.

Things we knew already, but Great!
Considering how many tweets from pundits and speculative posts I've seen on this very website about how the PS5 is way more powerful or Scarlett has a 21% GPU advantage or whatever, I think it's safe to say that not everyone knew this already.

We kinda already know this, but further confirmation is always nice.

Really looking forward to see what these consoles are capable of. Hopefully will find out early next year.

Man, I've never been day one on a console due to avoiding initial manufacturing errors. But I have to admit, if Horizon 2 is a launch title, it will be pretty difficult to sit out the first year.

I'm glad they'll both be monster machines with relatively little held back.

Yeah, I'd say the first mid-range ray tracing-supporting desktop GPU from AMD will give us keen insight into what to expect from next-gen consoles. The days of Sony and Microsoft going all-out on power are well and truly over: the PS4, PS4 Pro, X1, and X1X all prioritise reliability and profitability above power, and I don't see that changing.

Doesn't mean shit if Lockhart holds them back regarding multiplatform development. Nice job messing up, Microsoft.

Been saying there won't be a noticeable power gap for a while. It seems like common sense.

Services and content.

Well, yep. This is what I expected.

It's not even important which of the 4K twins is 10% more powerful than the other.
