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

I have a feeling that they just don't care. There was an ign survey that said the vast majority wants a next gen PlayStation than anything else. I think even devs are defining next gen based on what sony brings out. Just like gen 8. They will build everything on sony's console then port to everything else. So after they are done experimenting with the ps5 dev kit then they will give the Xbox dev kit a glance.

You have to wonder how happy, or not happy, devs are about this all online gaming that MS is aiming for, before everyone is even ready for it. They're going to be pushing for games to be on xCloud and/or GamePass out of the gate, which can't be anywhere as profitable as selling direct to the gamer.

Speaking of xCloud, do we know it will actually be like Netflix? Or will it be the same horrible concept as Stadia?

Not sure how third party devs like Gamepass (at least those who aren't on it and feel that people might buy their games less if they get already enough to play from Gamepass) but they shouldn't have a problem with xCloud. I doubt they will earn less with it and they have pretty much no extra work but a bigger possible audience.
