There was no way Xbox was going to be the weaker console next gen. Not after they fucked up at the start of this current gen.

Insider: "Xbox Anaconda aims to be the clearly better performing device" compared to PS5

Without even the slightest hint as to what "more advanced" means, this is a pointless discussion at this time.
I want a power race. I want both systems to push tech as much as they can and at $499.99 or $599.99 we should be getting some amazing hardware. Having MS and Sony going at it is only going to be great for gamers. With MS investing in more 1st party devs and Sony already having an amazing pipeline, it is going to be a great generation of great hardware and great software.
That's great but will it be cheaper? The price point of the XB1 was a big part of why so many people weren't that excited about it.
Xbox One X has been a dream of a console since I picked one up. I can't wait to get something similar in the next gen.
I mean, power is something, mastery is another. Naugthy Dog is still going to make the best looking games next-gen too.
My going theory is that there has been many rumors that there will be two versions at launch of the next Xbox.
I believe one version will be on par with the PS5 for the same price and the other one will be more expensive and be way more powerful.
On one hand, I see this kind of thing at launch kind of dumb but Microsoft has been pushing the whole "options" thing with their hardware so I wouldn't be surprised if they had multiple versions at launch.
It might hurt them at retail though if that's the case but who knows.

I mean, we already don't know this. And we still don't. And even MS perhaps doesn't even though they say the opposite because that's their job
Exactly. "More Advanced" is not a technical term and as such hold no meaning. It is something that sounds nice but has no substance. It isn't any kind of promise that Xbox needed to keep.
Yeah, with Phil in place now and the fact that the Xbox brand finally has their ducks in a row they are going to be looking for a fight next gen . Sony will for sure have a tougher hill to climb next gen and they really need to come out of the gate swinging. Even as someone who is very bought into the Sony ecosystem I gotta say part of me is scared that they are going to just botch this next generation.
Why would "Xbox insiders" know about the PS5? Sony have barely revealed anything about it. Smells like damage control from fanboys more than anything worth listening to.
Secret Sauce II: Secret Sauce harder, I'm just gonna wait till the Xbox execs confirm everything.
In what sense?
There's no way that either party know enough about each of the devices to confidently say one is more advanced or not.
Once detailed specs are floating around, then perhaps we can see how they stack up.
The only exception I can see is if MS are straight up changing their architecture.

If it is, it'll be 599.99. Price point, lack of first party support will once again leave them behind Sony.
That's great, but will Xbox Two actually have exclusives this time around? I was purely PC/Nintendo/Sony this gen because Xbox never really gave anyone a reason to purchase it.
Nah, it can have more memory, the clocks can be higher and so on. It can't be a generation leap since the technology will probably be the same, but it can have that PS4-One leap that happend early this gen.
Completes speculation but if they're launching two SKUs, it might be opening them up to really shooting for the stars with the high end one. I have no idea what their low end SKU will look like, but if it's comparable to the PS5, maybe the higher end one ends up being at a higher price point than we normally see but can be packed with a lot of advanced stuff due to that.
Like maybe it's something like Xbox Two/PS5: $499 with comparable specs, Xbox Two Plus: $699
If you have a product that is competitive and targeted to the mainstream like their base model is likely to be, maybe they feel more confident having a second model that is really high end and targeted to a niche. The X couldn't really go that route since the original XBO was so weak that they had to have something competitive on the market at a reasonable price.
I'm not going to trust sources from Xbox on how they compare to PS5. They would not be in a position to know and clearly have their views slanted one way.
It sounds eerily familiar to the Xbox One "secret source" eSRAM debacles during all the next gen rumors of 2011/2012 and the Durango leaks

Price/exclusives will be the factor this time. And paying for 3rd party exclusivity. The CoD deal will be a big factor again.
Regardless of which console is more powerful, next gen should be very interesting for both companies. Phil is steering Xbox in a much better position than it was back in 2013 and I'm sure Sony is going to want a repeat success of the PS4.
That's what I want know. We didn't get any info on clock speeds, gpu speeds, gpu core count, memory bandwidth, etc. How are these MS insiders so sure when there's crucial information left out?
Nothing can change this late expect for some minor tweaks here and there/RAM.
Regardless of the power, I'll probably just buy a PS5. I stopped using my Xbox One 2 years ago and I don't expect Xbox's first parties will release enough games that are interesting to me to make a purchase worthwhile.
Need details on the advanced portion
But we kind of already expected it anyway. Well atleast I did. I expected MS to release their console later anyway too. And with the rumors of it being an ecosystem as compared to Sony's standalone, I can easily believe it will be a more advanced thing
That said I am still gonna have to buy everything if I wanna play all the games I like :(
