Even if the Xbox had the same processing power as a 5090 it wouldn’t win this “war” with Sony as they’re just too damn good at it and their marketing strategy is amazing. I remember when the PS4 was announced which was 0.5 teraflops more powerful than the XOne so they said could play full HD. Sony had a field day with this “extra power” branding PS4 the most powerful games console.
11 years later and the fact that PS5 is 2 teraflops “slower” than the Series X (using the same yardstick Sony did for the PS4) and Sony now say that it’s not an accurate way of calculating console processing power lol - legends.
It’s a shame because Series X has a lot to offer in terms of processing power, full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth supporting full RGB, Dolby Vision etc but it’s just not enough without the exclusives. I fear this may be the end for the console which is a shame as Sony need a competitor or they get arrogant and start charging ridiculous prices for sh it tech…..oh wait.
