PS5 and Xbox Scarlett both have very similar specs, and will be VERY powerful - Jason Schreier

Good.
The PS4 and XBONE were a bit under-powered from the start and I'm hoping we get something with a bit for juice for the start of this generation.

Do you think Crash Nitro Kart on PS4 and Xbox One was held back by the presence of a Switch release?
??? Price and power is what put PS4 over the top to start this gen. Xbox arguably had better exclusives at the start.
It wasn't until later, when the PS4 was easily winning the sales battle, that it also go great exclusives.
Kind of blows my mind given how expensive new tech is generally. Good/powerful things demand high prices.
$499 seems pretty run of the mill to me as far as pricing on next gen consoles go, but I wouldn't be surprised if they sold them at $399.
I know I'll eventually pick up the two consoles...
But I just want to know wth you can play on them Day 1 lol

Scaling down isn't the same as having to scale up. Anaconda's power will be completely wasted on scaled up Lockhart games.
I just hope most of the current gen software that I have digitally will play on these new consoles Day One.
It would be great to be able to trade them in for an immediate upgrade.

I don't really care which one is more powerful as long as they are relatively similar. I would prefer staying within my eco system so as long as PS5 is about the same I will be happy. I'll also be getting both eventually anyway (I can't miss the return of Fable!).
I really want numbers that can actually be verified across more than one person.
It's good to hear someone with a bit of a stake in the business is able to chip in though - I'm a bit bored of unknowns telling us "my friend works at PlayStation 5 and he said it was great and that Lockhart is cancelled oh wait it isn't not cancelled maybe".

I see this is gonna be the new narrative to piss on MS.
Nothing is going to be held back.
I'm not sure how this makes sense when it's being said that the PS5 and Anaconda are going to be close in power.
You're seriously saying that multi platform devs would rather scale up Lockhart level games than just do the common sense approach of making PS5 and Anaconda level games and then scaling down for Lockhart?
The 'dumbing down ' theory only works if you assume Lockhart as the baseline for development for both the PS5 and Microsoft's high end offering.
If they didn't, then what's the point in it's existence? Believe me, I'd love you to be right, but given the history of console game development...
It won't matter if the high-end Ananconda version of Xbox Next is equal to or ever-so-slightly more powerful than PS5 because PS5 won't be hamstrung by a weaker version.
PS5 will be the baseline for Sony while Lockhart will be the baseline for Microsoft.
Add to that, XGS still making their games work on OG Xbone and X1S (and 1X)
Also, don't bother mentioning the new GameCore API/tool, because it won't change much, just like Xbox One getting DX12 support a few years after launch did not make up the power gap with PS4.

The point of its existence is to provide a cheap entry point to advanced gaming experiences.
That's like asking what the point of the RTX 2060 is.
Really?
If the lower end model is the much more popular SKU then devs absolutely will work as that as a base and then just improve resolution and frame rate for the high end console. It's a concern I have with this approach too.
If the high end model proves to be much more popular then it'll be okay and we'll just get Switch esque downports.
If Scarlett and PS5 are practically the same, why do you think they would run the same version?
Your logic doesn't make sense. They're not gonna develop the PS5 version separate from the Xbox version.
Sure. Way to jump to conclusions. "Very powerful" is very vague to describe something without any context.
Why is this an issue? I still don't understand, do people expect a $300 to $400 price tag?
In numbers yes, in performance it would be much better. PS5/Scarlett are using the new AMD GPU's, stadia is still using an older model (vega 56 or something like that) and they're still having problems with performance atm.
It will be interesting to see if Lockhart actually holds back the other machine but until we actually know the plans on how this works and see them in action it sounds like concern trolling or just playing out a console war narrative to dismiss a platform you don't prefer. It's too soon to tell. Devs do very well with Xbox one X hardware despite devs developing for the older hardware. It just depends on how they are designing the SKU
You're assuming Lockhart will get scaled down games? Because that's not historically been the case for consoles. You scale upwards from the lowest common denominator, not the other way around.
At least for the first few years I don't see the point of upgrading to Scarlet. It's essentially an Xbox One XX because it will have no dedicated exclusives out the gate. It's different with Sony as the PS5 actually feels like a next gen system because it will have exclusives.
Depends if you are waiting for 60fps games tho. Outside of normal shooters or racers. That for me is already worth it.
