Not really and I'll tell you why.
Sony have made a machine with a less powerful GPU, slower CPU and slower peak memory bandwidth (substantially slower). These are the metrics that have always made software look nicer and run better, that hasn't changed.
On top of that they made a bigger console, that needs Smartshift and variable clocks to get to that less powerful metric. We will see which runs quieter and cooler, I'm very confident XSX will be quieter because Sony are talking about fan speeds before launch. Heat they may be equal because of the ridiculously large heatsink they have had to use and then shape the console as well with flaps to cool, making it even bigger.
Basically they are the ones who made a standard console, Microsoft have reinvented the console in a new form factor that made it more powerful in a quieter smaller form factor, at the same price. Sony got out engineered.
This doesn't mean I think PS5 is bad, it's probably great, when it has the sort of games I'm interested in I'll buy one like every other playstation console. A remake of a PS3 game and a cross gen Spiderman add on don't cut it for me personally but each to their own.
I've had every other Playstation console at launch but not this time, I'll wait for a slim version or a Resistance/Killzone game.
Riky , Do you watch Dealer Gaming by chance?
