| Kyuu said: 2. Developers were obviously more impressed with the PS5. You can start all sorts of conspiracy theories as to why that happened, but it's the truth. PS5 had meaningful/relevant advantages, and it's crazy to pretend otherwise at this point. Series X has advantages too, but the console apparently wasn't as efficient, and of course popularity is a factor in many cases, but it isn't "the sole" factor. |
"more impressed"? What are you talking about lol
70% market share is what "impressed" the developers, not the hardware; if Microsoft had been in that position, I guarantee you that the games would have been way more optimized for the Series X advantages. But there was no real reason for them to even try at this point (and I'm not blaming them for that)
The Series X, is the most powerful of the 2 in almost all possible metrics, end of story (talking about the Play Station 5, not the Pro) but it did not mean shit because nobody (other than some developers or first parties) would spend time optimizing for it, while all the effort was put into the PlayStation 5 version of games / engines.
