I agree for the most part, although the Series X bandwidth situation is a little more complicated, 10 GB of it is dedicated to the faster pool and the rest of the 6GB is dedicated to the slower pool. I don't see Series X having a bandwidth advantage over the PS5 but i could be wrong.
Change your damn avatar back!
Xbox split RAM bandwidth is a clear bottleneck.
Aloud me to lol for a moment sir.
I personally expect noticeably better texture/asset quality on PS5 further into the generation for this reason. We are already beginning to see the signs for it.
The main point is that the TFlop count doesn't really matter for gaming and MS is advertising it like it does. I don't know what it means to "take advantage" of TFlops, maybe you could expand on that.
We've all seen the shine on MS 1st party with their top dog Halo Infinite
I think microsoft PR is bad
I don't like to overestimate ps5 ssd speed and i/o but I expect greet things from it
It was the easiest way to illustrate the point. One gpu having 50% single precision tflop advantage over another and still being only on par in gaming performance (but way better in mining for example).
Microsoft also need true exclusives again, no PC or gamepass versions for at least a year after release. That goes for Bethesda. One year of true exclusivity for Elder's Scroll 6 would do some damage.
instead of getting the 7 series from Steelseries you could try to get the 1 series, uses the same drives, just the comfort is different (same set of features too), the 1 wireless was going for about 80€ delivered and works with everything (from xbox to ps5) it is probably the best bang for bucks in the market now. pulse are just glorified gold heaphones and battery life is quite shallow (12 hours at best i believe)
In truth, this gen may be one of the closest with both consoles being capable, but I believe the PS5 is still more capable due to it's more customized architecture, parts of it which are not even being wholly utilized yet.....So I can see the PS5 leading the pack for the entire generation with better effects and performance....
PS4/PS5 have most of API build in to da hardware (sheduler).
From non-american perspective, XBOX is way too american to be globally as huge as Playstation
- Marketing talk = Using lame made up terms like "velocity architecture" or something that sounds like "super duber extra mega power booster" level of stuff, names that are made to be sound fast&powerful instead of just being technical neutral terms like Kraken or Tempest.
- Marketing style = aggressive, pushing, using lot of words and bashing competitors. 90% of talk and bragging and 10% of real things. Sony just shows some weird stuff and lets people buy it if they want. And xbox doesnt even market on EU, or at least here, never seen their ads other than online.
- Gamepass = "get hundreds of things for only xx$/month, must be good deal like those 300 toilet paper rolls you just bought from Walmart because they were -10%!", bundle deals like that just don't sound as good to me or anyone I know, when we think that how many games/items we really need and have time to play.
- Most important thing, games = Gears + halo + forza are kind of "american bro-gamer games", while they are lacking RPG + single player adventures / "movie style games" that clearly sell tons more on global level. Maybe Bethesda helps. But it is kind of late
- US "domestic vs import" culture. On almost any american reality series people have this weird attitude that imports are always worse than their domestics. Like that huge truck with V8 that drinks 30L/100km of gas instead of some Japanese efficient car with 2.0 engine that drinks only 6L/100km. And then they think that those imports are shit, while in reality Toyota/Honda have superior quality (some have rust problems, but tech is superior) over most cars in many statistics and worst cars are from US/germany (on our statistics I have seen). In terms of failure rates on inspection. Of course there are exceptions. I guess people need bigger cars to haul those 300 toilet paper rolls
Here we have same kind of people, but they like to blame Japanese cars being shitty and German being best, while statistics say otherwise. So this is universal phenomenon I guess. I always laugh when people talk how German cars are best, and then when you check how much first 5 years costs to maintenance one, it is something like 10 000€ for german car and 2000-3000€ for Japanese car. Yeah, so good that you have to change half of the car in 5 years. (bmw M5 vs honda type-r, performance cars)
It spoils down into "hey our product is best, it have super speed xxx powah monster stuff and for only 99/month you can get it!" vs " hey look we have this system, this is our games, get it if you like it, thanks"
And I am not saying American culture is better or worse, it is just so different vs many other countries that using same strategy just makes them look so weird and out of place. XBOX isnt humble enough, and they are too aggressive for what they can offer, because they cant offer the best system/games yet they act like it = it doesnt feel right.
On online talk I get it that when gamers from US are talking, they just cant see things "right" on global level, because from their perspective xbox and PS are almost equal competitors, that one small thing could tip the scales.
But in reality it is always PS >>> xbox in the rest of the world, which makes these things some kind of war as it seems that USA culture is more concentrated on domestic stuff and they are proud of not knowing about foreign stuff, but it doesn't change the reality that Xbox is like some spare option for most of the world.
If both would be as popular globally, I would not be able to drive to local electronic stores in next 30 mins and buy multiple series S from the shelf. Which I can, because that is how unpopular xbox is here. Even Switch is less popular than PS5, switch never sold out, or only few biggest cities for little while, but PS5 is already sold out until february - april 2021 on many sites/stores.
You had my like with that very first sentence. It is just like that, people from the States might not realize this sometimes, 'cause it's a country that tends to be quite self-centered, but Europeans, for example, are way different people on a sociocultural level. And it's only even more accentuated on the rest of the world. And I think you're right on the money, their marketing and messaging style doesn't work well everywhere, whereas PS usually communicates in a more, let's say neutral way and that helps them get their message across in more places.From non-american perspective, XBOX is way too american to be globally as huge as Playstation

Where did you get September 2020 from ?
There was FUD running this Summer that XSX already started production while PS5 is having 'overheating' issues, and cant start production.
The FUD started based on this article, from May:
Xbox Series X Production Begins, France Is a High Priority
The Xbox Series X is officially in production.
Seriously speaking, I'd like to know how 3rd party games can vastly under performing to the hardware potentials. Because doesn't make any sense to me . This platform can even runs some PS3 games (which is not that simple) how could vastly underperform in crossgen multiplat. It's incredibly contradictory and it denies the previous assumption.Which it is, this isn't about being beaten by PlayStation its about 3rd party games vastly under performing to the hardware potential. It's a tools thing, once it's ironed out it'll all become apparent
