It’s not the first time we’re getting befuddled by the console war, but at this point, it feels like they’re just feeling each other out and coming up with whatever the other company announces it’s developing.
So, let’s lay down everything we know about Microsoft’s Xbox Scarlett and Sony’s Playstation 5 on the table, shall we?
CPU- and GPU-wise, both consoles will be harnessing AMD power, with video output capable of 4K up to a possible 8K at 120fps. Storage-wise, yes, we all rejoiced when we heard about Xbox’s 1TB SSD. Meanwhile, Sony also confirmed that they will also be using SSD, although the size has yet to be announced.
In terms of games, both will be backward-compatible, with Sony learning from its selfish mistakes. The Scarlett, however, guarantees a generally farther backward compatibility, enabling replay of all old Xbox titles and disks. The PS5 only goes back up to the PS4.
