Didn't Nintendo win this gen with their Vita.

Vita always win.

Vita means life! 

OT: I am voting with the PS in general as they were consistent for 4 generations in a row and it seems that their missteps with the PS3 and Vita gav them a massive pool to learn from.



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

Lets have a look and give a general ranking,

CPU - XSX
GPU - XSX
BAC - XSX
SDD - PS5
RAM - Draw

Still waiting on some other announcements from Sony to compare, however at this stage I cannot say who has the advantage with the list below.

Price - N/A
Controller - N/A
Design - N/A
Games - N/A

MS is looking to buy studio in Japan and increase their presence there

They have said that forever and even if they do. It won't matter. Japan just does not care about Xbox. I did hear a rumor Platinum rejected an offer to be bought by them. We all know the SEGA and Nintendo rumors. 360 they had a bunch of exclusive RPGs from both Tales of to new IPs from Sakaguchi and they had a huge marketing campaign in Japan for them. From big CE's to themed consoles and live events. Did very little overall.  They designed the 360 to be sleeker and appeal more to Japan. It didn't matter. A studio isn't all Japanese studios. Xbox 360 is the best selling Xbox console in Japan and it still didn't sell as well as Sega Saturn there or Wii U. About half of Wii U Japan sales. Japan belongs to PlayStation and Nintendo.

I agree with what you posted, but we never know, MS have been doing better job the last year on adquiring devs and messaging, they may resolve things in Japan.

It’s more for western gamers who are obsessed with anything from japan ;)

Some JRPGs that X360 moneyhatted may not have sold well, but I know quite a few people that loved them. And at least having they coming removes the roadblock of people wanting them avoiding Xbox for the lack of it.

Well honestly, ima call it out that speed only is seeming to matter because that’s the only advantage PS5 has more or less. The narrative for over 15 years was who has the most power...both sides fought over this. Now speed all of a sudden is the forefront??? Lol cmon.

Both will have crazy reduced load times compared to last gen. PS5 will just do theirs better. But ultimately it won’t have the raw power to really do what the Series X is capable of. What it can do it will do very fast but the ceiling just is under Xbox.

Plus we keep counting the TF for PS5 when it’s being overclocked where as the Series X maintains the entire time. PS5 will be struggling just to keep the 2 TF gap, the reality will be 3 standard, which is about 25%.

Call me a traditionalist, Im going with the criteria that always mattered for console specs instead of going with a narrative that was never brought up in the past.

That was only a narrative because PS360 was a case of specs on paper favoring the PS3 sligthly (but X360 having better GPU) while this gen Xbox fanbase refusing the power disadvantage and claiming secret sauce. If most sony fans accept XSX seems stronger and are curious about the SSD making a difference on the opposite direction. When games start flowing we may see a lot of this discussion again and see what will come of it.

PS5 will run dynmaic 4K resolution where as Xbox will be native. PS5 exclusives will be more impressive I think. Overall gfx wise both are great so it just depends on games

I think you answered your own question there. The SNES won of course.

Yes it did.

Do you think this is how this gen will play out as well?

As always, it comes down to games instead of "blast processing" slogans. For Xbox, it depends on how they use that power and take the graphical edge for the console market. For Sony's Playstation, they need to push hard with exclusives.

All the more reason as a Japanese company I would not sell to them. Those western gamers are on PS4 and Switch anyway who want Japanese stuff.

I dunno, Segas stock price is hilariously low. Like just begging for a takeover bid. A guy can dream. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

We hear on VGC several times that aggresive takeover in Japan isn't really possible even more for foreign companies, but who knows, MS could try.

The difference in power will be like PS4 pro and One X or even smaller.
