Andrew Reiner: "Rumors before the [MS E3] show say the PS5 is more powerful than Project Scarlett"

You and many others are not remembering well. When they announced Project Scorpio Phil said "We believe it will be the most powerful console". A year later when the announced and showed Xbox One X then Phil did say "the most powerful console ever". There is a lot of misinformation on this and I urge you to go back and watch the Scorpio announcement where Phil said "we believe it will be the most powerful console". At the time of Scorpio's reveal the PS4 PRO was not announced, so I think that is why Phil said "We believe". A year later when the "X" was finally shown they changed it to "it is the most powerful" since they already knew about the PRO etc.
What discussion is there to be had since we do not have any concrete info on the specs of EITHER console?
No, it doesn't. Some people will prefer to buy something more affordable. So a cheaper 349-399 console will be a good choice for them.
How on earth can they claim that their piece of plastic releasing in 18 months will be more powerful than someone else's piece of plastic in 18 months?
They could claim the X was most powerful because it was factually correct. Final specs won't even be locked in yet.
I think Xbox will have the power edge next gen, and will start to catch up with exclusives but still be edged out by PS. Which is great, PS needs something hot on its tail to keep it going. Like it did this gen/
Having more power didn't matter last gen...or the gen before that....or the gen before that.
No sure why it will matter next gen?
No sure why it will matter next gen?
I really need Microsoft to pull it together because I'm not trying to game on a dual shock but I'll go where the most power console wise
And suddenly power is relevant again and means everything in the world, just like the start of current gen.
Hmm, should I read too much into this or you're just saying they don't know PS5 specs? But then again if the journalists know about the rumors then so should MS.
There was very little to those rumours. It was mostly journalists who cover MS, and leakers who are clearly very close to MS, talking about MS aiming to have the most powerful console, and games of telephone with Phil Spencer's comments last year.
I think in the end they're going to probably be close along most dimensions or metrics. Which I think for Sony would be a win, given the last year of narrative of a different scenario.
Stop these bullshit rumors, Both Xbox 2 and PS5 will be in development for at least another year until they get mass produced and it's almost solely up to AMD to determine their output. Phil talked about 4 times the Xbox One X performance, which already sounds very promising.
