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. 

Not realy. From what Mark Cerny said the system can sustain that peak GPU performance or CPU performance for as long as needed and that dropping a mere 2% on their performance would save over 10% on the electricity. The GPU and CPU float performance mostly because a lot of the time they aren't being fully utilized on most games.

You are looking at X1X, so XSX would be about 2x more powerful, 3x at most so when you keep the same 4k60fps (for games that were designed for 8 gen no-less) you won't have that much jump to next gen. GTS is near 4k60fps on PS4Pro (and 1080p60fps on PS4). We already have very pretty looking game this gen, that is not something in dispute. But again the jump won't be that big if you want to pick a game that is 1080p30fps on PS4 and make it 4k60fps on PS5 or XSX.

Seems like no math or reason will make you believe that the gap between PS5 and XSX won't be one that would allow same game to have double pixel and/or framerate than PS5.

I simply maintain they can do whatever they have to do and yet still produce a great looking game. They get their PR buzzwords and we still get purdy pictures
