That would be the lazier, easier way to go about it. Save time and effort and just make the game run almost identical on both for the first year, maybe two. The devs will have to put the consoles potential to good use sooner than later though, or SNY and MS will stop listening to them as much going forward and stop giving them as many new advancements. SNY and MS would just rely more on marketing to sell consoles in the future then, and the devs and gamers would suffer, and nobody wants that.

It's in the best interests of everyone to push the next gen consoles as much as reasonably possible since it's not like PS3 vs 360. Let gamers decide which they prefer, more eye candy or speed, and let them have that. If that leads to one selling better than the other, then the people have spoken.

PS5 has an advantage right now based on PS4's momentum, but that's no guarantee it will lead to sales similar to this gen. It still has to prove itself.

I get you . I wish things end up that way. But still is money that drives big publishers like EA. Sony and ms could bend over backwards but if it dont make them money they will abandon it on the spot. Its unless one console pulls ahead enough they won't allow any lost profit by making one obviously better than another. And ps3 and 360 was diferent as they probably tried parity but where not able to reach it. 

Just remember there have been so many games in the last couple of years that are runing like trash on the base xbox on. Devs dont care anymore. While base ps4 plays average.

Yea sony has all the momentum. I'm pretty sure they will deliver. And honestly ps5 dominating again seems more than likely with MS approach to gaming now. 

You've got a point, but devs won't forget PS3 or XB1 for a long time. XBSX will give devs new hope and they will try to push it as much as reasonably possible due to MS's renewed efforts. They don't want SNY getting too full of themselves again. Just look at the cross play push for example. Now the pubs though, how much they can push the devs to favor one console over another is hard to say. They certainly will favor the one that sells the most games, but I don't think the devs will fall in line like they may have decades ago. They both should know better by now as to what happens when you decide to basically go all in on just one brand, and need to keep an open mind going forward.

The hardware hasn't been the most exciting really, yet interesting. Hopefully the big excitement now comes with the games and prices.

*XB1(S) is a lot like PS3. Both were the wrong moves at the wrong time, and maybe just flat out dumb altogether. PS3 Slim and XB1X though were redeeming.
