The you have a bad memory, because between reveal and release of X1 there were plenty of threads about secret sauce, directX, Cloud, eDram, and people reposting some shody websites as evidence.

We also had Major Nelson or Don Mattrick saying on official page of MS that there was no way they would allow their console to be 30% weaker than Playstation and people used that as evidence for secret sauce.

I'm talking about the XSX and PS5.

Not really looking for... "But you guys did it first" type of responses.

I could also retort with talk about The cell but that was so many years ago are most of the users even likely to be the same? Probably not.

Unfortunately that's the problem with today. Too many people hold things in the past. There are still a select few who say MS don't give creative freedom in making games because they did it in the 360 era.. even though iv linked articles of MS actually stating they are giving creative freedom to all there new studios etc.

Its a tug of war contest between who did it first, instead of who's doing it right now. Much the same with Cross Play when MS announced Cross Play between all systems and Sony refused to be part of it, the same argument raised "But 360 didn't do it, when PS3 was doing it"...

We can date back to PS2's emotion engine before the Cell, Sony claimed Power almost every generation either though it was completely mauled by the Gamecube and OG Xbox when it came to power. Every company tries to push the envelope to make their consoles sound more attractive, because Power is attractive and Power does sell consoles if the games are their as well.
