Digital Foundry analysis was categoric that everything in the PS5 and Xbox Series X was the same (textures, DOF, etc) with differences in shots perhaps being from camera position or time of the day. The differences were solely on framerate and frame tearing. Seems like even that info of the PS5 dropping less in res was wrong, their resolution are also the same at every scene (but since PS5 hold out to 60fps when Xbox dropped in several instances perhaps PS5 could have had a higher res) also PS5 had V-sync enable which also costed some performance.

DF clearly said PS5 performs BETTER, with XSX having screen tearing much more often, and can't even mantain 60 fps or close to when res drops to 1440p. In the scene where people move around with torches in the small village, in the whole scene PS5 keeps a perfect 60 fps with just a small drop to 58 fps, than back to steady 60 fps. XSX stays constantly below 50 fps, down to 46 fps, than 48 fps, and stay there. This is a massive 15% performance difference, plus add XSX is tearing much MUCH more, and there are many scenarios where PS5 version does not have screen tearing at all.Also, PS5 stays at higher res in many scenarios. DF said that. PS5 is the superior version, and not even by a small margin.

Sales not to rub salt on your wound, but the late dev kit was kinda debunked already.

Man poor Dealer tried to insert a GDK narrative and was denied🤣🤣🤣. The technical lead even says he's pritty happy and it's even faster and more stable. Just small things missing pic.twitter.com/oKwV7II4et

Codemaster dev said both devkits were at similar level of maturity, difference being most how each dev would be familiar with tools, and Xbox being DirectX we can't say they weren't used to it. Also Haven't Phil Spencer saying he was playing on Xbox Series for over 1 year, also the BC of uncapped titles running at higher fps on Series because of virtualization and not needing patch like was the case for PS5? Also from John (who I think was the one that was saying he received info from some devs that the kits were late) doesn't expect significant gain because PS5 SDK will also improve with time.

That was always the scapegoat. The conversation was always about games but it got derailed by the power talk as a way to claim that third party multiplats where more important than exclusives. They never where and now they have been removed from the conversation. Now theres no choice but talk about games. 

Nah they changed that months ago. Maybe to emphasize the Xbox part, idk. It is still the most powerful console, not like they had to change it for any legal reasons or anything.

So you are saying that PS5 is the better engineered machine like several devs have spoken? Preposterous.

The takeaway is that these machines are super close, depending on how devs programm their games either the narrow and fast or the wide and not-as-fast approach will have slightly better endresults, but I doubt we will have a clear "better for 3rd parties" console this time around once the gen is in full swing.

You said Xbox fans won’t admit anything, I admitted everything. Your response spoke volumes. Btw having a great time with Gears Tactics and EA Play games :)

And Hiku, fair enough. We just heard that Xbox gave out their full dev kit suite as late as June of this year. So if I must wait to gloat, then so be it. Ugh...feel like a PS3 fan saying “just wait” with teh Cell to kick in. I’ve become everything I hate lol. 

He corrected that. 15% is the average for the clip. When it drops for 46 vs 60 (that he speculate could be lot more since it have v-sync and is capped) it is 24% better on PS5 or 30% worse on Xbox depending on which you prefer to use.

Why did you ignore the info that it wasn't in worse shape than PS5 SDK and that the improvements it may received won't be alone and PS5 will also receive? Did you chose to ignore you talking about PS5 being delayed, no final console, issues in manufacturing and everything else? And what about Xbox transparency that you have been talking for months now, it was MS marketing saying that AC Valhalla would play better on Xbox (besides they having marketing deal so you can't fault devs to giving preference to Sony).
