it's console wars d-day ladies and gentlemen we've got both the playstation
5 and xbox series here in the studio
we've got all the launch games you care about and we are running HDMI 2.0 into
an 88-inch OLED tv it's time to put
these consoles side by side and see how they perform mano imano
well they're not human but you get it origin pc desktops can now be
customized with NVIDIA GeForce rtx 30 series graphics cards if you're in the
market for a new pc powered by NVIDIA's latest graphics cards and backed by a 24
7 support team check out origin bc systems at the link below
we've already heard a ton about the super-fast loading speeds on both
next-gen consoles thanks to their ssds the xbox series x's SSD has a raw
throughput of 2.4 gigabytes per second while the playstation 5 more than
doubles that to 5.5 Gigabyte per second raw so you might expect the ps5 to beat
the xbox in every test by a wide margin right
well hold on a minute both booting the consoles cold and waking them from sleep
are faster on the xbox by a few seconds and even when it comes to loading games
the console's trade blows in assassin's creed valhalla loading a game from the
menu was a bit quicker on the xbox while in dirt 5 the playstation 5 pulled ahead
by a slight margin and of course if the game needs to connect to an online
service before dropping you back in that's going to inflate the load times
no matter what console you're playing on if you're loading a game from a console
sleep state though the xbox is always faster at least in our tests it seems
that the faster SSD on the playstation 5 might be being bottlenecked by its
slightly slower CPU meaning that in almost every backwards compatible game
or games that aren't optimized for either systems io architecture
specifically the xbox will likely load faster and that's without even
mentioning the xbox's quick resume feature which drops you right back into
the action instead of into the game start menu it is sorely missed on the
playstation 5. but considering next-gen load speeds
absolutely decimate the minute plus wait times of previous consoles it's hard to
complain about a few extra seconds here or there now let's compare some game
visuals starting with multi-platform titles and wow these are remarkably
similar that's because the consoles are architecturally similar with AMD's n3
cpus and rdna gpus though the xbox has a
slight advantage in both cases at least on paper in practice the image
quality between the consoles is very similar but differences can emerge
depending on the situation our friends at digital foundry have pointed out that
while playing on the favor frame rate mode the playstation 5 actually adds
more background foliage in dirt 5. whereas in favor resolution mode where
the resolution remains locked at 4k in exchange for looser frame rates games
either felt slightly smoother perhaps because the ps5 doesn't have variable
refresh rate implemented just yet or pushed closer to full res more often
on the xbox letting small details like the car's grilles look slightly better
some games are more of a toss up though nba 2k 21 looks truly next-gen on both
consoles except for the visible aliasing on the ps5 it's slightly smoother but
the depth of field effect and extra per object motion blur on the xbox deals
with it in its own way how about next-gen exclusives though well the
series x doesn't have any which brings us then to spider-man miles morales on
the ps5 while the game looks great it feels less
next-gen than i had hoped looking better
than the ps4 version but not really
that much better which if you think about it is really just praise for the
incredible optimization job they did on the two-year-old ps4 version on the ps5
though the addition of ray traced reflections makes swinging through a
frozen glassy new york feel brand new
although ray tracing is locked into the 30 FPS mode once you switch to 60fps
uh you're probably never going to go back to ray tracing even if it uses less
attractive screen space reflections the ps5 has global settings like universal
toggles for game difficulty performance priorities and accessibility options
like the xbox's quick resume they're just nice to have things strangely
though the thing i found most exciting about my experience on the ps5 was
actually the controller yes the dual
sense has been upgraded with a mic usb type-c charging and resistive triggers
which make the xbox triggers feel dull and boring in comparison until today i
gotta say i never really imagined feeling directionality in the vibrations
of a controller the experience was something totally new kind of like
hearing a stereo recording after a life of mono
in conclusion you can't go wrong with either choice each console offers a
compelling set of reasons why it's the best console xbox has power speed
backwards compatibility and the value with financing and xbox game pass but
while sony doesn't have a real competitor to game pass they do have
some proven studios making amazing exclusive games right now they've got a
non-proprietary storage upgrade solution although you can't quite upgrade just
yet and they've got an all-digital console that packs all of the firepower
of its more expensive sibling for a hundred dollars cheaper making it look
to me way more compelling than the xbox series
s man these guys are really not making it easy
what do you say Colton should we just get both oh yeah oh yeah just get both
probably hold off a little bit for more exclusives though but eventually we'll get both this video is brought to you by
