Im old enough to remember those goal posts being in a thread about backwards compatibility. But move them over here if last gen games make you feel better about the performance of current gen ones
Sadly I followed DF's early advice and prioritized getting a 4k/60 TV for this gen, so it makes no difference to me.
I don't think anyone expected 120hz to be as much a factor, for consoles, as it has become.
PS5 is not my favorite system, I don't own one, but looking at both with an open mind. We all knew the XSX had no new games, but I was expecting it to at least outperform the PS5 based on specs, but it can't even do that. Now we are already up to the level of dev kit truthers. Reminds me of the DX12 secret sauce on Xbox One.
The specs were always close, any sane individual would fully expect parity between the consoles - in terms of performance, obviously that's not taking into account things like the PS5s SSD I/O
Owning a Series X, I can tell you it's a remarkable system. Quick Resume, Game Pass, full enhanced BC and just being an all round solid, strong performer. It may not be worth it's cost for everyone, but for me and many it certainly is.
The fact the PS5 is just as capable doesn't somehow minimize that.
