Sony PS5 is more expensive than Microsoft Xbox Series X, cross-platform gaming performance is difficult

IT House News on August 10, foreign media wccftech reported that Sony PS5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X will go on sale at the end of this year. In 2020, the two parties will successively announce the console configuration and some game lineups, but the two next-generation consoles are the best The key content has not been announced: that is the price.

Insider Dusk Golem is mainly known for the revelations of CAPCOM ("Resident Evil/Street Fighter") and "Silent Hill". In his post titled "In reality, how does Microsoft expect to compete with Sony's next generation?" Some new news was released, he said that the cost price of PS5 is likely to be higher than Xbox Series X, because Microsoft is better than Sony to absorb production costs, while maintaining low retail prices. In addition, Dusk Golem also reported from his source that the Sony’s next-generation console is more difficult to perform in multi-platform games than the Xbox Series X .

"...In terms of raw performance, Xbox Series X is much stronger than PS5, and multi-platform games will run better. This is a good preparation for people. In addition, Microsoft has already done a lower price than Sony Price preparation. Game console sales are easier to make sacrifices than Sony, and get back profits from Xbox Game Pass subscriptions. Relatively speaking, Sony can make a fuss on this point.

PS5 is easier to develop overall, and Sony has very Talented studios, they will get the most from the PS5. I don’t doubt that, but this topic is about how Microsoft will compete, so what is my focus. When it comes to cross-platform games, they end up Will perform better on Xbox Series X. Xbox Series X will have a technical advantage over PS5, and it will have a greater marginal advantage. The basic point I heard is that PS5 is indeed better for exclusive games, but in fact For multi-platform games, the specifications are a bit strange. If there are multiple platforms, the use of the PS5 SSD solid state drive system does help, but it does not play the best role. I also heard some developers say that PS5 is better for 1080P The game is still very difficult to run at 60fps, but Xbox Series X does not have the same problem, and can even be pushed above this number in most cases. Of course, this is only what I have talked to with a small group of people, and there are more Content, but I heard that one thing will make this generation a bit interesting, that is, the focus of PS5 and Xbox Series X in other areas will make this generation of multi-platform games'interesting', so that we may Really will see fewer games, and more games will appear on one platform or the other (plus PC), because their focus is a bit different, and one game needs to be the best on both platforms The status is actually quite difficult."

IT Home learned that in a follow-up post, Dusk Golem clarified that he was mainly referring to " Resident Evil 8: Village", which is obviously difficult to reach 1080P/60fps on PlayStation 5. . In other words, Dusk Golem also heard from other developer friends that this situation may also happen in other multi-platform games.
