# 1 thing will be less wasted time due to loading.

Xbox showed that quick snap that lets you switch games almost instantly.

Games designed for XSX and PS5 will barely have any loading or even have zero loading.

You will get shinier games with better frame rates and larger worlds due to those nice SSDs.

You will get better input responses and games in general will probably feel better.

Phil Spencer also warned not to get used to XGS studios releasing games on other consoles. The newly purchased studios are just finishing up existing contracts that have to be multiplat because of the original deal.

I would expect the same with WB which publishes its own games meaning XGS would not have any prior obligations to release multi-plats. The exception would probably be games already deep into development. Why not release those?

Of Course the point would be to try to make Game Pass the Killer App Gaming Sub Service.

This would be about making sure competitors don't get it on their service first.

For example: beating Google's Stadia or Amazon to the purchase.

More children play video games than adults so there is your difference right there.

Majority of GT and Forza players are going to be adults or near adults while Kart racers will appeal to all the children and even some adults.

There is 1 at the Florida Mall near my job.

Sad that they'll be closing.

Looks like Covid 19 claims another victim.

XSX is the best looking yet most boring of them all.

PS5 looks like a high school student designed it.

The Switch looks like a toy.

If MS locks in 10 - 20 million full priced subscriptions they'll be fine.

Add to that millions upon millions in Micro transactions, movie rentals, etc. and they'll be fine.

If you're going to nickel and dime everything you spend on the console make sure you add the difference in your power bill for running that beast.

There will be a 25% increase in Graphical fidelity in favor of the XSX over the PS5 in most 3rd party games that have equal budgets.

How do I know this?

The XSX has roughly a 25% Bandwidth advantage for its GPU.

Every console ever designed has been Bandwidth bottlenecked.

Ray Tracing is a bandwidth hog making matters worse.

1st Party games will be different.

Budget and talent will also make a difference.

I could see some XSX games taking advantage of XSX' superior features making the gap look bigger. At the same time Sony's 1st party devs are technically proficient so they'll likely be able to hide these weaknesses very well.
