The new year and the next generation of consoles by Microsoft and Sony are right around the corner. We know quite a bit about the next generation consoles in broad terms but not a lot of specifics. There's been a lot of leaks, a lot of insider talk, a lot of claims, but they don't all fit and there's a lot of contradictions if you try to piece the entire story together.
So what better time to gauge where folks think one particular aspect of these next generation consoles will land then now, right before we get potential blowouts of concrete information? We can all look back and laugh at ourselves a year from now as we enjoy next generation visuals. But for now, let's start the new year with a bit of commitment.
The latest in a long line of leaks suggest that the PS5 is 9.2 TF and the Xbox Series X is 12 TF. We've had previous leaks suggest the two are closer, others suggest the PS5 is stronger but those are older leaks versus this most recent one. Digital Foundry even put out a video recently with the 9.2TF and 12TF figures, giving it much more credence.
Additional context:
- A 2.8 TF gap would be one of the largest gaps between two competitive consoles launching in the same year. It might end up being the largest gap but I haven't double checked that particular assertion.
- Microsoft has very openly stated their goal and intention to be the strongest console on the market and they seem to be having a secondary cheaper SKU to perhaps offset a beast of a console in terms of tech.
Do you think the latest leak and that power gap will be accurate? And if not, what is your expectation of the eventual power differential? Do you expect the price to be the same or different?
(I am ignoring price in this poll to avoid far too many options but if you think that will be a factor in anyway, feel free to put that in your post.)
