How could anyone argue otherwise? One company literally put their console in the hands of previewers over a month in advance and the other showed it off quickly in a controlled environment where the OS and features couldn't be shown. MS is unquestionably ahead in showing off what their console and OS/features can do.
MS has me convinced there's no actual next-gen XB games because with less than a month to go I've yet to see a single game running on it that isn't something from last gen.
MS is ahead in showing off a lot of features that don't justify me spending $500+ on a next-gen console when it launches. Sony on the other hand, has given me at least 5 reasons for it.
I'm sure MS will get there eventually, but I'm not spending money on a next-gen console for last-gen games and "auto HDR/quick resume". I'm doing fine without any of those things, and I've played the games already... I'm quite literally not going back to play something I've already played just b/c "4k".
I think this is the weirdest argument pro-XB consumers have. That somehow MS is ahead because they've shown off arbitrary (useful, but arbitrary) features for a next-game games console, while y'know... omitting the primary driving force for its existence: "next-gen games".
It's also strange to see people's arguments boil down to "playing xbox one games better than ever before on the most powerful games console ever" when, we quite literally heard the same argument for a $500 XB console less than 3 years ago. In less than 7 years people will have spent $1500+ just to play Xbox One games... like, what?
EDIT: Also of note, the people who have gotten XSX units to talk about have also mentioned restrictions for the games they can play. Not "I'm not allowed to play ____" but rather "MS won't allow the system to play ____ game in BC" which is another weird point against how that's been handled. MS is as restrictive as Sony in terms of how they want their messaging to unfold. Sony's just openly saying "this is what you can talk about."
