I did read it. While it was a good read, it doesn’t support your idea that these consoles are aiming for different goals and shouldn’t be compared. He even touches on how now the consoles share so much tech and such that you have to look deeper to find differences in performance. The problem for your theory is that the only secret sauce PS5 has is the SSD speed and it won’t make any real difference. Outside of that they share very similar performance and tech, some other differences here and there but nothing that would make them incomparable. If you want to talk about consoles with different goals, that would be comparing the XSX or PS5 to the Switch. There’s a comparison that is insane to make. Hell, I could easily argue using your logic that the Xbone and PS4 were machines designed for different goals. MS was more about Kinect and TVTVTV, they didn’t opt for more powerful hardware because games seemed like a secondary focus of the machine. Yet, that didn’t stop this place and others from being flooded with threads and posts about 1080p vs 900p. Even Sony ex’s a were chiming in on “resolutiongate” to the media and twitter. Yet now the PS5 is weaker and nope nope, machines have vastly different goals in mind, can’t compare them. Doesn’t make sense. |
Reading your comment you did not read everything and just pick one or two paragraph. Both are indeed using the same uarch and the same tech, but both are targeting different approach in designing games. SSD is one of many secret sauce and techniques. Just read everything in there don't just pick one to twist the messages.
