2c, I’m waiting for the playstation; why?
- I think GPU they are close enough to be essentially identical
- CPU they are basically close enough to be essentially identical
- the storage speed on the PS5 is going to be the tie-breaker
I also generally prefer playstation controllers, the playstation game library (gran turismo series for me instead of Forza), and I’ve just spent the past couple of years getting all things microsoft OUT of my house.
PLUS
I already have a PC (3 in the house that would be capable of gaming, in fact) if I want to play games on Microsoft’s platform, I can play them with better hardware in PC world by simply installing windows 10 on a spare drive.
Sony is more likely to have games that either aren’t on PC or are tuned to run better for the ps5 hardware and make use of the “guaranteed to be present” high speed storage.
This is why, after being a playstation owner of every generation I skipped ps4 (and xbox one) and bought a Switch (also why I bought an OSSC scan converter and a number of Saturns :D)
PS4 games are essentially either high def versions of ps3 titles (sure, maybe N+1 sequel) or crappy versions of PC titles with some exceptions.
I think the PS5 will be different due to the storage.
