While the Xbox Series X is a stunning bit of tech and is in fact superior to the PS5, it appears Sony’s cutting-edge support has one major preferred position over Microsoft’s future console, and that is the SSD (Solid State Drive).
Bill Stillwell, Program Manager at Microsoft who is presently on the Hololens venture (was taking a shot at Xbox earlier) later participated in a live Iron Lords Podcast where he opened up somewhat about the stacking screens concerning the PS5 SSD.
“I’ll say two things with that. One, I understand that it’s a marketing point and I think I said in the last Podcast we did, that I’m impressed with the architecture they did with their drive and they’ll be able to do cool stuff with it. I also don’t think it’s as impressive as what you’ll be able to do what the Series X has done and so I have high confidence in that team.
I will also say, look I reserve the right to wake up smarter tomorrow and someone may prove me wrong and we’ll learn. The one thing I have learned is I’ve never underestimated game developers to take advantage of something and work around it, but that works on both sides. And so, the ability of a game developer to look and say “Okay I’m building this game and I want to have a seamless transition with no loading screens on PlayStation, but I’m also gonna want to sell on an Xbox, what am I going to do to manage that kind of thing?” Like that will be the trick and the techniques, and so maybe, I’m just making this up, but maybe there are elevators in the Xbox version and not the Sony version.
I don’t know how they’re gonna address it, but they will learn to address it and they will figure out ways to work around it, and that’s where you’ll get these economies of these statements of absolute versus what we can actually do when these games releases” was said by Bill Stillwell.
He proceeds to express that in no way, shape or form does he represent the organization; however, he accepts that first-party games will exploit cutting-edge highlights, with most of the stages being intended for multiplatform as a top priority. Given how PlayStation and Xbox games are quite often in equality with each other (given Xbox360/PS3 and XBox1/PS4), could this be the age this is going to change? On the off chance that Xbox Series X games will have extra stacking occasions in its games contrasted with the PS5, that could be a serious deal for most gamers.
