In early October, the doctor shared with everyone the hardware comparison between PS5 and Xbox Scarlett summarized and compiled by famous foreign media IGN in his article "There are many new features and new features of Sony PS5, but this is the point that attracts players the most." You can see: the hardware can be said to be half a dozen. After comparing the hardware configuration, everyone naturally began to pay attention to the launch time.
Next year, the next generation hosting war is about to begin! Sony has confirmed that it will launch its own PS5 during the Christmas schedule at the end of 2020, with the specific date unknown. "Coincidence" is that the launch date of Microsoft's Xbox Scarlett is also described, and the specific date is not announced, which is a bit "tit-for-tat". On October 20, Dr.
shared with you the article "It's later than before, foreign media revealed: PS5 was launched only in December 2020", telling the story of the news of foreign media TweakTown, PS5 has been locked for release in December 2020. The reason is that TSMC needs more time to produce AMD's 7nm processors to meet the needs of a large number of PS5 hosts. The well-known whistleblower in the industry claims that Xbox Scarlett will be officially launched on November 6, 2020. The above are all media or personal revelations, and have not been officially confirmed.
The two hosts not only compete in hardware and launch time, but also compete in compatibility. In his article on October 18, "Don't lose the previous PS games. Netizens revealed that PS5's backward compatibility with has a new breakthrough in the function of ". It was the industry insider called "PSErebus". He claimed that the backward compatibility of PS5 hosts is not limited to PS4 (PSVR) host, but may be compatible with all the previous four generations of PlayStation hosts! Of course, this is just a revelation. At present, it can only be confirmed that PS5 is backward compatible with PS4 (PSVR).
At the same time, according to the foreign media "Stevivor", Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox at Microsoft's X019 event, mentioned in an interview that Xbox Play Anywhere service will be confirmed to be extended to the Scarlett console. This way the Scarlett console can share game ownership and records with Xbox One and Windows computers.
Microsoft's Xbox Play Anywhere service provides games, players can play on multiple platforms at the same time as long as they pay once. Phil Spencer mentioned: After the official starts compatibility services, the biggest advantage is that players do not have to buy games repeatedly. And the official is currently convincing third-party game developers to respond to cross-platform compatibility. The reason why
compatibility is that digital version games have become popular in recent years. Compared with physical CDs, more players like to download them directly. If the purchased assets (games, records, achievements) cannot be transferred to the next generation, it will not only extend the cycle of players changing the host, but also a loss of property for players. The doctor believes that in terms of compatibility, Xbox Scarlett actually has the advantage, after all, the purchased games can also be played on personal computers (Windows). However, the final outcome of the next-generation console war should depend on the game camps of both sides. what you think? Welcome to leave a message.
