Oh of course the people in denial will continue to damage control this after all the embarrassing "MUCH MORE POWERFUL!!" nonsense leading up to the launch (Full RDNA2 of incredible 12 TFLOPS, faster RAM, consistent frequency, native 4K across the board, Velocity Architecture, VRS tier 2, Mesh Shading, DirectX12U, Machine Learning, 13 TFLOPS of hardware-accelerated RT, 1080p UI frees up more RAM for games!). In a few years... we'll see similar bullshit being touted again about the greatness of Xbox Series XXL or whatever MS is going to call their mid-gen refresh.

It's been clear all along that PS5 is the better designed, more efficient and impressive system as far as early developer perceptions go, and that diplomacy/NDA's were working in Microsoft's favor. Jason Schreier confidently and with complete certainty reported that the countless developers he's in touch with were in a universal agreement that PS5 is "so superior" in a number of aspects, some of which Sony didn't detail, But "Nuh, Jason is a Sony shill". RedGamingTech? "Another Shill!", Ali Salehi? "CryTeK FiReD HIm foR LyING!"

Those fucking morons can't make a distinction between a respectable source and a random nobody.

Nobody with with a functioning brain said the series X would have a huge power advantage. I could just as easily pull out some of the absurd bs sony fans have been saying/defending leading up to launch, but I'm sure you'll skim over all of that. 

What happens when the next comparison comes out with the Series X performing better? These comparisons will be happening all gen and either side claiming victory after a week into next-gen is the really moron. I can tell you right now, it will be a case-by-case bases for each game. 

Before we had like 5 head-to-head compairisons, between the two systems (so far 4 for PS5, 1 for XSX).

The story line was one carried by Xbox.

12 teraflops > 10 teraflops, ours does native "real" 4k, PS5 doesnt have hardware raytraceing ect ect.

This wasnt some "absurd BS sony/xbox fans" stuff.
It was spread by MS (offical) marketing people too, and basically everyone agree'ed that there would be noticeable differnce in resolution & performance between the two systems.

Mainly because of how hard the 12 > 10, thingy was spread.

Sounds like alot of people are "revising history" now.
Before console launch, very few people (esp from xbox side) where saying it will be a case-by-case bases of compairison.
(vast majority were conviced there would be differnce like the whole 900p vs 1080p (xb1 vs ps4), for this gen, but in Xbox's favor)

Saying it was "only absurb fanboys" is dismissing the reality of what happended leading up to the launch of the two systems.
