Why are people calling this a victory? These are locked resolutions. They are not even allowed to go head to head.

PS5 resolution is 3200 x 1800, or 5.76m pixels. Xbox Series X is 3840 x 2160, or 8.29m pixels. In other words, Xbox Series X is pushing about 43% more pixels than PS5. On top of that, Xbox Series X has the high setting shadows from the PC version while PS5 has the medium setting shadows from the PC version. PS5 does have a framerate advantage, but only on a single area of a single level pretty much, the rest of the time they are both 60 fps. Seems like a victory for Series X overall to me. 

I suppose they could implement an optional resolution mode on PS5 that is full 4K, so we could get a like for like comparison with Series X, but based on the fact that it seemingly took a 43% pixel count reduction and a shadow quality reduction for them to hit locked 60 fps on PS5, I suspect that if PS5 did have a native 4K resolution mode, the framerate on it would drop much lower than the 50 fps that Series X drops to at the lowest on the outdoor flower section on the single level. 

But again. The ps5 has a locked framerate so it means the ps5 could push avive that and like the xbox drop in certain areas. It seems very suspicious to me that the game is locked at a lower resolution while the framerate seems to indicate it can go higher.
