The Xbox does in fact have all these things on some of the consoles shared games, a recent example would be guardians of the galaxy. The PS5 on performance mode cannot hold a steady 60 fps at 1080p resolution, where the series x can hold 60 fps much better and with VRR support any drops are not felt throughout gameplay. Obviously this is one example, but in general games do run at higher resolutions/dynamic resolutions, frame rates, if only slightly and the included VRR built into the console provides smoother gameplay where it cannot hold a consistent frame rate. Series X also plays more games at 120 fps then PS5 and has better ray tracing, like in games such as doom eternal and resident evil village.

One console is technically more powerful then the other, which accounts for these difference, that’s not a point of debate. While developers can and do optimize there software to run as good as it can, it will never account for the difference in raw compute power.

90% of the ps5 is not designed for cooling, it’s blower style fan and fin stack are packed into the side of it. While the PS5 pulls more power with a larger PSU it’s cooling pushes air in all directions over everything at once, resulting in higher temps on the motherboard. The APUs on both vary in temperature but generally hold close to each other in most testing.

Microsoft’s exclusives are much stronger going forward if you want to play multiplayer games. These are designed to run natively on Xbox hardware at the best performance. With the recent acquisition Microsoft has made, games like Call of Duty and Warzone will almost certainly release first on Xbox and with more content then PS5. Other blizzard titles will surely make there way to the console as well, with possibly exclusivity like Diablo 4 and WoW.

While I don’t disagree that Sony has great exclusives I would argue there all single player experiences. As I said before you could experience the best of both worlds by simply picking up a steam deck and having all your Sony games on the go. Single player stuff is great for travelling or laying in bed.

Im not shilling I’m just pointing out the differences. The xbox just has more benefits in my opinion, gamepass is still unparalleled by anyone in terms of value and choice. Xbox is the best place to play for cross play, with built in support on windows PCs with Xbox you can connect with people the same way you would using the Xbox’s social interface. Plus the added use of discord you can communicate however you want without having to use a phone of laptop next to you.
