Rumour: Sony's PS5 is definitely more powerful than Microsoft Project Scarlett

To bad Rol wasn't on the other threads calling some users fanboy because they were certain Xb4 will be stronger than PS5. Certain to a point of saying there would be no way MS would allow PS5 to be stronger.

It's (or was) part of MS's roadmap to have the strongest console next gen. That's why people said that and there weren't reasons to call them out.

But since they didn't even mention two versions of their next console they might have changed it to only one which could also change the “our stronger version will beat PS5“ plan.

But yeah, it at least was MS's plan, that's a known fact.

I would have no issue with anyone saying MS is aiming to have the most powerful or if that was their objective or roadmap.

But there is no legal way MS could be 100% sure as those people claimed. They can't make a contract with AMD with "assure XB4 HW is at least 10% more powerful than PS5" or discover the power of PS5 without spying. So there is no way MS could be certain. They could of course make a 800USD HW selling for 400USD that they think Sony wouldn't ever go above it, but nothing would stop Sony from doing it.

Having the most powerful hardware is not only an ever moving target, but MS would be in no position to assure they have the most powerful hardware. If anything, Xbox's plan for the next gen seem pretty obvious for some time now while Sony is keeping things much more secret.

So to hit that objective they would need to know 1) the specs of the PS5 base model, 2) be sure that Sony won't have 2 SKUs available at launch (similar to what MS seems to have in mind) and finally 3) be confident that no "pro" version of the PS5 would come out some time later.

This is all marketing smoke and mirrors for now, anything can happen at this point, so there's no reason to doubt the reports that one dev kit seems more powerful than the other, especially as we have a year before release and final specs can be updated in the meantime.

Exactly. You could be 90% confident MS will have the better HW, but before release or at least official information from at least one of the 2 you can't be sure.
