Playstation 5 vs Xbox Series X

[LAmbruh]

Xbox Series X is slightly more powerful and can push better visuals than the PS5

It's all about the exclusives and Sony usually has the better ones. Also, Xbox is pushing their proprietary storage shit. Fvck that

Who's going to buy a mother freak of a console that won't even have any exclusives for a year? 😂

100%. PS4 has the better catalog by a lot


Looks like Sony is about to buy the license to Metal Gear and Silent Hill from Konami

Welcome to 2012, console users! Maybe you will catchup to 2020 PCs with the PS6 in 2030. Cucks! :oldlol:

[Draz]

I haven't gamed in over 5-6 years.

The PS4 was the most boring console I've ever had. Coming from someone who loved PSP and had a PS1/PS3.

XBOX 360 had the best online experience ever.

I'm going Xbox this time. I skipped XB1. I don't think I'll be heading back to Sony for now. I can careless about playing offline single player with a dildough up my ass. I rather tell kids I'll be fcking their mother online in COD.

Loads games 100 times faster than the outgoing ps4? 🤔

As has been the case usually with these consoles. Specs don't matter, game library does.

On a side note I've had Stadia since November and I like it. It's gotten better for me personally. They just need to keep improving the game library which they have.

[ROCSteady]

I'll get the Xbox so I can play Chel with my homies

im getting the fridge

Sony Playstation has confirmed all 4,000+ PS4 games are likely to work on the PS5 with over 100+ getting boosted frequency and patched to run smoother on the PS5


Cool news, now people can just trade in their PS4 console when buying PS5 and get a nice $100-$150 off

Internal SSD's baby.

The core processors for both are cutting edge for even high end PC rigs (for now), powerful enough to run 4 different games simultaneously. Able to pause and switch between games seamlessly from a suspended state, even with the console off

It's going to be funny. As a PC tech guy I can say I'm actually impressed with both consoles. Sony went more for an overall feature-set and also took audio off the load of the main CPU/GPU which is HUGE. They providing very strong audio centered SPUs onto the die. So instead of just plopping some more GPU CUs onto the die they went with audio SPUs designed around their custom 3D audio software.

As anyone in development knows. Audio takes up a ton of the processing power being used in a scene. Having all audio in its own area, it's going to free up the entire GPU for what it is designed to do.Audio is a gigantic hog. Upwards of 20% or more depending on just how heavy you are going with your 3D audio.So take that 12TFlop number, which sounds nice, but remove 20% ( or more ) of that computational force and take it away from graphics compute and place it into Audio compute.Now you have 9.6TFlops of muscle to place behind your graphics calculations and lighting and all that.

On the flip side. The GPU of the PS5 is not handling audio compute at all. So all 36CUs or whatever it is, is completely handling what it is built to handle. So the full 10.2Tflops peak is fully going toward graphic / lighting / shading / blah blah.Also looks like Sony went with bandwidth as well. With much better overall slab of RAM, and not cut up like in the X1SX ( whatever the official abbreviation is ), and has much higher input/output throughput. Looks like Sony is trying to eliminate bottlenecks in the main threads as much as possible. No audio computations, much higher RAM bandwidth overall, and much higher I/O.

Kneejerk commons will see 12 vs 10 and call it a day. But in reality the Sony machine is looking damned impressive tbh. Seriously, this generation is going to be AMAZING. Both systems are incredibly powerful machines. Last gen was ran by <2TFLOP machines with incredibly weak CPUs and some pretty blatant memory bandwidth issues. It didn't matter that the Xbox One X was a 6TFLOP machine. The developers still had to program for the lowest common denominator which was the Xbox One. The main differences ended up being dynamic resolution solutions and framerates overall. ( Which were in of themselves minor in 95% of the cases ).This generation though. Both companies seem to have gone all out. So get ready for 4K 60FPS for a vast majority of games, fantastic audio on the PS5, incredibly fast load times, almost instant bootups, and by god we are getting Ray-Tracing ( still unsure how intense the algorithms can be for high end games but we will see ).

Ps5 all the way!!!

PS5, Microsoft makes garbage games.

That's ****ing loco, but also great a UX change

Really? Intriguing.

i wonder if microsoft also has an NVME slot that will accept any NVME SSD. bc it sounds to me they will sell an expansion card themselves vs you being anle to use any SSD.

Looks like MS have custom internal SSD's to run synonymously with their new Seagate external ones. With a slot on the back to add another SSD, but it will only accept the Xbox Series X Seagate Expansion Card (mandatory to run new Series X games). For Xbox One games and older you can still hook up your 3rd party external

PS5 storage expansion otoh won’t require a proprietary solution and has an expansion bay for an off-the-shelf M.2 NVMe SSD.


“You can continue to use your existing USB 3.1+ external hard drives on Xbox Series X and you can run Xbox One, 360 and OG Xbox games directly from the external USB HDD,” explains a Microsoft spokesperson. “Games optimized for Xbox Series X and the Velocity Architecture need to be run from the internal SSD or the Expandable Storage Drive.”

So if you’re looking to extend your storage on the Xbox Series X, you’ll need an expansion card for all of the newer games and titles that will gradually get updated. Microsoft has not yet revealed exactly how much these cards will cost, though. External USB storage drives come in a variety of forms right now and are often a lot less expensive than equivalent NVME SSD drives.

Seagate will be the exclusive launch partner for these expansion cards, too. “At launch, the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X will be the only Expansion Card available,” reveals a Microsoft spokesperson to The Verge. “We look forward to sharing more details in the future.” It’s not clear whether Microsoft will have its own branded expansion cards or just how many other third-party drive makers will be able to create expansion cards. More providers will increase competition and drive prices down for consumers, so it would be surprising if Seagate is the only manufacturer after launch.

This new expansion card support and built-in NVME SSD will mean significant improvements in load times. Microsoft demonstrated a 40-second improvement over the Xbox One X today, showing just how much SSD storage will impact gaming on the next-gen Xbox. It also allows Microsoft to enable multiple game resumes from standby or even after the console is rebooted for an update.

xbox shooting themselves in the foot with that.

PS5 it is.

[Smoke117]

The specs mean absolutely nothing. What matters is exclusives and Sony kills microsoft in that regard...ESPECIALLY if you have a gaming PC like I do and all their exclusives are on PC anyway. There is pretty much no incentive to invest in the future new Xbox when you could just build/buy a gaming pc anyway.

[Axe]

Yeah, i think it's more practical to buy a gaming pc if there is no exclusives at all for such a powerful console.
