Your error regarding my argument is that you are still not separating real world application of these designs versus what Playstation fans all across the Internets including this forum have been telling us the supposed benefits would be. Again, no one is saying the designs of these consoles aren't a "game changer". Another error is that those two arguments can't coexist, they absolutely can.

Not even mentioning that breaking immersion is subjective. I don't think a 3 second blue effect screen would break immersion compared to a 1-2 second one in the video. He also mentioned traveling to another world in Outer Worlds gave you a load screen that broke immersion, never did for me.

Nope. Its the same as ray tracing. Thats not a feature thats just on or off. There are various degree of implementation and some look vastly better than others and is mainly due to hardware capabilities. The I/O speeds will have similar implementations. So either its disregarded, or if its implemented one will be vastly superior than the other. Just like ray tracing in wich nobody here denies the xsx will have better implementations due to its compute advantage. 

Then you are minimizing the impact to suit your narrative. Up to this point its still dificult to judge what the diference is actually is, since all we can judge is that one can send data at 9gbs and the other at 4.8gbs. We still unaware of the benefits the 12 pcie lanes have over 8. We still dont know what the 6 priority levels have over 2. We still dont know the capabilities of the dedicated decompression chip has on each device. Velocity architecture, kraken, ram reserve. All we know is that the ps5 is beating the xbox in every metric when it comes to data streaming. We also know that the vast majority of devs are drooling over the ps5 I/O and xbox exec are saying that devs will work around it. I myself cant say I know any meaningfull metric, but some "leakers/insiders" saying its over 5-10 times minimun. And thats diferent ones saying a minimum and they all say the minimum is between 5-10x. Could be more.
