FUD. You can’t say this before their event not knowing what they will show. Before we’ve seen any official gameplay. Then you have games like Flight Simulator which we have seen that I promise Sony has nothing on that level in terms of scale. I missed the part where Xbox One holding back that game. 

You keep forgetting this isn’t PS5 specs. If you have your pessimistic hopes then I can hope they can leverage that extra 20-30% to hit resolution/FPS benchmarks while still looking next gen. Where as Sony has to choose one or the other and convince people like yourself it’s for the best. No thanks. 

You are being stubborn, even if you go for your exaggerated 30% advantage for XSX that isn't enough to cover both a 1440p to 4k and 30fps to 60fps gap, each of those is a 100% cost. So for XSX to run 4k60fps the same game PS5 is running 1440p30fps would need 4x the power gap. At most with the 30% (won't really be 30% but you can pretend it is) you can have both games at same pixelcount and frameorate with more effects on XSX version or if it is a case that PS5 being close to 4k or 60fps but not enough so it had to be capped to 30fps or upscalled to 4k then that powergap can make XSX native 4k or locked 60fps.

I think it’s fair to say there’s a 20-30% gap. PS5 can’t overclock their games 100% of the time where as Series X is consistent. 

I’m looking at Gears 5 and Forza 7 which are both 4K/60 FPS on Xbox X. Both aren’t ugly games by any stretch of the imagination. If any console has a shot of hitting those benchmarks while STILL providing a next gen visual upgrade it’s Series X. Even if it’s 4K checkerboard with 60 I’m sure is an option only Series X can do comfortably.
