Just edited it. But I can't confirm if it's native 4k res, or upscaled or has some reconstruction technique.

Problem with Xbox..and US companies in general..they do lie and mislead a lot.

PS5 UI is 4k. XSX is 1080p. There's nothing you can do to change that. Can't remember why Xbox did that but it had something to do with saving RAM space. (EDIT. Xbox released a 4k version. Not sure if it's native 4k or upscale or reconstructed though.. hence the difference you see)

Also when the games first released, the consoles were tested on several games. PS5 outperformed XSX on several games, while rarely loosing out. Digital foundry, VG tech and Another channel tested them. I remember seeing the first 5 games tested, 3 of which were new gen, the last 2 were previous gen. PS5 beat the XSX in graphics fidelity sometimes. But mostly on framerate.

It got so bad that the AC Valhalla had way higher res pixel count on PS5, and higher fps too...that Xbox complained at which there was a patch released which made the PS5 graphics and fps WORSE. BUT it still outperformed the XSX. PS5 fans were outraged at PS5 getting a "patch" when it didn't need one, which only detuned the performance.

So generally speaking, graphics are usually the same or close enough. They're usually fixed but some games have adaptive reconstructed resolution techniques which means the resolution can reach 4k, but can dip below when it's demanding. On those games PS5 had higher resolution. But when it's fixed. Its the same obviously. But then the PS5 most certainly offers better fps, especially on 120fps mode where there's huge gap.

Aside from this mode, there's not always necessarily huge differences. It's still neck and neck pretty much

If you have yourself a 4k TV and want 60fps..or even 120fps at whatever res....YES buy a PS5

At £450...its a no brainer to have PC level performance which costs about 3 times as much. There's a noticable difference between graphics quality, res, fps etc.

You'll appreciate the higher fps...wouldn't really be able to go back down. Some intense games were 30fps..at the time that's all I had and it was "normal". Went to 60fps and it was a huge difference. 120fps is a different ball game altogether.

Resolution also looks mesmerising but I feel after a while.. it becomes your "normal"

The good thing is, it's NOT a sacrifice of your PS4 legacy. It's not "one or the other". It's a continuation. All your PS4 games would work on it. Save data is transferable. This is one of the reasons I upgraded. Even if you haven't got a PS4..it isn't the end of the world as PS4 games are cheap, especially used. Also 90% of my library are free games dished out every month. I have probably close to 3 figures. And there's tonnes of good games for FREE.

The best thing is, the upgraded SSD options are far cheaper and quicker than the Xbox memory cards. I have 825GB + 1TB external SSD which cost me £100. It feels like original storage too bec nothing sticks out of your console.

Moreover PSVR2 is around the corner..the best VR to date by far. Really exciting!
