At this time, it seemed that Microsoft could do this: if not achieve high sales (and “win the generation”), at least establish a performance hierarchy that should have given an advantage over Sony. But not: The Xbox Series X is more powerful than the PS5, but only on paper.
The larger of the two consoles from the Redmond house has more sophisticated components and showcases its GPU computing power. 12 TFLOPS on PlayStation 5 and 10.23Yet this clear distinction is not seen in sports.
Far from it: we probably face Two sites that are always the same From this point of view, performance in third-party games is essentially completely equal (only valid for direct comparison, obviously) and therefore only able to stand out for specifics and certain features.
