The new generation has already brought to the table the technical specifications of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
Comparisons are inevitable. A few days after the Xbox Series X revealed its technical characteristics, it was Sony's turn, which through a presentation led by Mark Cerny, architect of the PlayStation 5, revealed all the technical aspects of the console. The figures have been put online and the discussion has started to flow. What is the most powerful machine? Albert Penello, former director of marketing for the Xbox division, has written in Resetera about his feelings about it and has confirmed that he is not disappointed because he thought it would have less power.
"I think they have taken a couple of very smart actions," he said. Remember, I never thought I was going to have much more than 9 Teraflops, so I'm not disappointed. ” The former Microsoft member has also spoken out regarding the price. According to Penello, $ 399 would be a great price for the console. On the other hand, asked about the very fast SSD hard drive of PlayStation 5 compared to that of Xbox Series X, he stated that he was not entirely sure which one was better. "Well, Xbox has a proprietary drive and its SSD is soldered to the board, so I'm not sure which is better or worse."

Two very technical presentations
The two presentations were especially focused on the technical plane, since these characteristics were to be unveiled during the GDC 2020 (Game Developers Conference), a fair focused on development that has had to be postponed due to the coronavirus crisis (COVID- 19), which has also had a noticeable impact on the video game industry and everything that surrounds it.
Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 are still scheduled for the present year 2020. Although Microsoft mistakenly stated that the launch date had been set for Thanksgiving (November 26), those of Redmond have not taken long to back down and confirm that this information was not adequate.
