Looks good. Next gen is starting to take shape with concrete info. now, just the price for Series X. and awesome new exclusives from the Xbox Studios.
and of course whatever Sony has to reveal with the PS5. They've been holding all their cards close to their chest. Now that official Xbox specs are out, it's time for Sony to make their move.
The 12 Teraflops will be the # to beat or match for Sony if they want to play the power game. Otherwise, they are going to have to be close to around 10 Teraflops but at $100 cheaper.
If both consoles are $500, but Series X is 12 TF while PS5 is only around 9 TF, then that is not going to look too good for Sony. They will have to rely on brand power and their exclusives, as they will be conceding a big power gap.
However, if PS5 can get in around 10 TF and $100 cheaper at $400, then that would lessen the power gap. If they can show how amazing PS5 games will look, especially their exclusives, even though PS5 will be weaker on paper than Xbox, and it's $100 cheaper, then consumers will most likely flock to the cheaper console that "looks good enough."
MS is definitely taking the initiative for next gen and revealing their stuff first, that's for sure.
