Phil did say at the Game Awards that Xbox Series X would set the bar for performance, speed and compatibility.

Come on, you're using a very small example that maybe it was a mistake by some employer inside of Microsoft who was writing the achievement's description and then it got removed, what we mean is we didn't see a HUGE OFFICIAL announcement by Microsoft that it is the most console powerful ever made, if they knew about it, then you would see them shouting it from the rooftops, yet there was none, even in their huge trailers about the damn thing, Phil Spencer can't say it.

It would confirm that they're 1000% confident that the PS5 will not match or even exceed the Series X in terms of power, which as of right now they're not. Because if they went ahead and announced that the Series X was "the most powerful console of this generation" and Sony comes out with a more powerful console, that would end up being one of the biggest marketing failures for Xbox in the history of gaming.

Exactly as this didn’t stop nor hinder the sales of the last of us when it released just months before the PS4 and no BC for it either!

And by revealing this early they have set the bar.

Well you can't say that and also say the Series X is "our most powerful console." Plus, they technically have SET the bar since they revealed their console first, whether Sony tops that or not remains to be seen.

So are the current expectations;
XBSX: $499
XBSS: $349
XBSS gets lower price due to much smaller GPU, less GDDR6(12GB?), smaller, more plastic, simpler construction?

I don’t see it. The little they would gain from focusing all their attention on current-gen sales would be overshadowed by them taking a massive PR hit by being silent through the first 6 months of a next-gen console launch year.

I thought the Series S was supposed to be US$299.

The dead silence from Sony tells me they’re planning for something. That, and Corona virus put a spanner in some of their plans.
You do realize it can be their most powerful console and also the most powerful console right?

I'm hoping for a Wired article or a State of Play reveal at least this month.

IF Sony is going to wait till after Ghost of Tsushima is out to reveal PS5, then I think they will have another Wired article at some point in time before then. If I had to bet, I would think they do the reveal event before June, but that's just a guess.

XBox One X-the most powerful console.
XBOX SX-our most powerful console.
Just saying.
XBOX SX-our most powerful console.
Just saying.
Yup, they seem pretty confident with how much info they're giving.

The two machines will be pretty even, like Stone Cold vs. the Rock.

So far, I haven't seen them use the "the most powerful console" statement yet like they did for the Xbox One X, and why would you need to use both phrases if you have the most powerful console? By saying "we have the most powerful console", you're implying that your console is THE most powerful and also way more powerful than any of YOUR previous products.

Yeah maybe we can see that, and that's IF they can have some wiggle room to overclock some parts.

And? It's setting the bar for their systems. Let's not act like these pr pieces don't keep shit ambiguous for a reason, let's also not act like Microsoft hasnt been known for talking a good one then you know.... "Xbox one is a more balanced system and we won't give up 30% power advantage"
None of us grew up gaming yesterday we know how this shit goes

And let MS control all the narrative till after their presentation at E3(assuming covid-19 does not cancel it)? No, they have to release some info before June, even if not all, and they can compliment it later in a proper event.

Microsoft has no reason to be anything but confident about the Series X. They've confirmed a 12TF RDNA 2.0 beast with VRS. Gaming is going to be phenomenal on that thing.
It's true though, Sony has yet to reveal, so it's their move to show. And we all wait with eager anticipation. But MS can hold their head high behind great specs like what they've revealed thus far.

Maybe because they don't really have any big games coming up right now for current gen and considering how this gen went for them, they SHOULD be the ones constantly putting out info first in order to prove themselves next gen. As for Sony, they still have 2 huge AAA blockbusters coming out on the PS4 and PS4 Pro and on top of that, they're also the market leader. They're in no rush reveal anything yet, because they know they can dominate next gen even after revealing their console last.

Yeah I agree with you, I mean, even when Microsoft was revealing the Xbox One back in May 2013, they were saying stuff like “The one with the power to create experiences that look and feel like nothing else” when they KNEW that Xbox One was weaker than PlayStation 4.And? It's setting the bar for their systems. Let's not act like these pr pieces don't keep shit ambiguous for a reason, let's also not act like Microsoft hasnt been known for talking a good one then you know.... "Xbox one is a more balanced system and we won't give up 30% power advantage"

I mean, technically, they are right, because Xbox One games on it “looked and felt like nothing else”.....in a bad and funny way, yeah Battlefield 4 (and other worse looking ports) at 720p with lower FPS than PS4 “looked and felt like nothing else”.
But I digress.
Here’s the link, you can listen to it at 5:26:

Imagine someone saying PS5 cannot have a higher TF number than XSX in a highly aristocratic voice.

You dont think theyre building next gen Minecraft on PS5 dev kits? Also, ex Sony 1st Party devs are now at XGS... you don’t think they've said anything?

I was just talking about them being confident on whether or not they have the power crown this time around. I'm not hating against them or anything, I LOVE what they're doing right now in terms of marketing the product compared to what they did with the Xbox One. They're showing much more confidence in their product overall by being more upfront about it, I'm really happy for them and I'm rooting for their success next gen. So far, they've fired all the right cylinders when it comes to transparency and marketing, they've already shown off a AAA game for the Series X as well. Now with 15 Xbox game studios working on AAA games right now for next gen, I'm hoping they also succeed on that and put out some amazing looking games. Still waiting for E3 (If it ends up happening) to see the games though, if they look promising enough, then Xbox's future is looking brighter than ever next gen.
Phil Spencer has already confirmed that their Minecraft team don't have PS5 dev kits.

I don't know where you've been but games have surpassed tht not to mention killzone 2/3 did some things better.
Just watch Crackdown 3 and you'll know we've past tht level already

Some knowledgeable people have said they believe both companies knew what the other was planning GPU and CPU-wise right from the beginning, being that they were using the same vendor and making their choices around the same time.

If tht was the case tht would happen every Gen. These companies are bound by levels of confidentiality under contracts tht could ruin their image and hold them liable to major lawsuits.

We’ve passed that graphical fidelity, that trailer looks old, and if you mean about how animations plays, that’s because it is scripted, but those graphics look old and outdated now, games have surpassed that.

No one famous. Just tech expert types. Some disagree.

Makes sense though, why the hell would you want to send out dev kits to a company literally owned by your competitor?
