This thread is something else.
So, the green team invited Digital Foundry and others out to their campus to show off the Xbox Series X in person, complete with a modified version of the hardware for them to personally re-assemble to understand how it comes together. They also showed off the Xbox Series S months before it was ever officially revealed, and provided technical experts from the team that designed both consoles to answer any questions they had about either hardware, and the thinking behind them. They detailed the hardware, the specs, the design methodology, its architecture, explained the shape of the console, and have largely been the most transparent any console manufacturer has ever been about their unreleased hardware. Microsoft then sent out pre-release hardware to Digital Foundry and others, allowing them to report out on their experience with the console, including full tech breakdowns on performance - though limited to backwards compatibility titles. As a result, Digital Foundry have had the necessary information to release a wealth of videos and content around the new Xbox consoles for the passed six months or so. The end result is that Digital Foundry and others have pre-release hardware of the new Xbox nearly
six weeks before launch, and they're keen to talk about it and discuss it - both out of the interest of their followers, and because its exclusive content that no one else can produce.
In the blue camp, seemingly in response to Microsoft's work, Sony uploaded a 7 minute video to YouTube in which a Sony employees un-seats some of the PS5 hardware and labels some of the components.
SonyGAF's response: "Digital Foundry are clearly biased; why aren't they covering the PS5 to the same degree as the Xbox? Where's the twenty minute videos on the PS5? Fucking beta-cuck soy-shills!"
XboxGAF's response:
My response: "Man, 60 FPS last-gen games looks great! Maybe I should be buying up Xbox One games now while they're cheap?"
