This is getting pretty bizarre. New hypothesis: by the time devs wrap their heads around the apparent rubics cube that is XSX development, Sony will release the PS5 Pro they are scrambling to come up with behind the scenes right now. At which point the PS5 will drop to $300 and it will be "fine" that it is finally clearly the weaker system compared to the XSX because now it's the "budget" PS option
honestly im also scratching my head here. How could devs do a worse job on a more powerful console. And theres no doubt the XSX is the more powerful console either.
I have a hypothesis though, and its that devs are developing the game for the series S, and upscaling from there to the series X. It makes a ton of sense to me and in that case its not a surprise why the PS5 is coming out with better looking games when its weaker than the XsX. MS really shot them in the foot by releasing the series S. As they say, a bird in the hand is worth more than 2 in the bush. MS strategy with the series S was really dumb, thats all I can say. I think they don't even care though...their main focus is game pass after all and that is platform agnostic.
XSX only wins in theoretical TF, but its bottlenecked design prevents devs from ever reaching actual 12 TF in performance.
