People have been wondering what's up with Microsoft not showing next-gen games running on the Series X. There is also another group of people asking why we haven't seen the PS5 (teardown, UI, retail units etc).
Lucky for you, I got the answer.
Let's start with Sony.
The reality is, Sony only has a single, functioning retail unit. It also serves as a development kit for all of their first and third-party devs. That's why you won't see the PS5 for a while, it's being worked on 24/7.
What about Xbox? Well, Series X is the opposite. They got 15M units ready to roll but none of them can run next-gen games. Apparently, there is a major hardware failure causing next-gen games to crash on startup.
Where does that leave us? Glad you asked.
Insiders are reporting that Sony and Microsoft are planning to merge and do a single console named the BoxStation that will run PS5-developed games on Series X hardware (the hardware failure doesn't affect PS5 games, believe it or not).
There's a 50% chance you'll hear the announcement of the new partnership before the end of the month. I'd like to stress, however, assuming they fix their issues, this might end up not happening.
You heard it first Gaf and since it's from Thug, you know you can take it to the bank.
Thank you.
