I'm going to make this thread in layman's terms:
A new Playstation and a new XBox console from a new generation of video gaming, may be released by the end of the year, if not delayed due to the coronavirus.
Specifications including the performance of each console have been posted online. The developers of the consoles are making claims each console is at least twice as powerful as the pre-existing console the XBox one X. I personally, see that as an optimistic figure and see each console as being 90 percent more powerful.
The new XBox, called XBox series X, has a slight advantage over the new Playstation, called Playstation 5, in the speed and power of producing graphics and displaying the result. It features the best solution for external (add-on) storage of the two systems, using special very fast cards for extra storage.
The Playstation 5 has a serious advantage in its internal storage system. This will cause games to load very, very fast and may help developers try to make up for a slight lack of speed the system has otherwise, compared to the XBox series X. Both systems have hard drives at least as fast as the very fastest NVMe PC hard drives available to consumers.
I tried to spec how much it would cost to build a PC as powerful as either system. My figure ended up 900 dollars or more. That being said, predictions of price for either system tend to fall around 500 dollars, with there being articles on the internet stating the Playstation 5 costs 470 dollars to make.
