We’re probably in the wrong place to say this, but after so many years of writing and watching behavior like this from all channels and sides, acting like a fanboy is generally not a good idea if you’re trying to sell your product. Even the Xbox generation sometimes has to be as low key as possible to keep reviews as low as possible, but we don’t have to sell games. For this reason, what we just saw from the developer of the title “Quantum Error”, left us in shock.
The title is not moderated, but perhaps softened, because looking at the tweets from the game’s official account, the thing seems even more pronounced. The game, which was originally meant to be exclusive to the PS5, has finally announced that it will also be coming to Xbox Series. But now, when asked if they’ll be coming to Xbox Game Pass, the account says that They are struggling to configure the game for Xbox because the game is made to take advantage of the PS5 SSD and the Xbox SSD is too slow.
It will take more time to try to set up the game for Xbox, the game was made to take advantage of the PS5 SSD and the Xbox SSD is too slow.

Quantum error in the head
We cannot discuss the opinion of a developer, who is the one who hashes the code and knows what he is talking about, but maybe the way of expressing it in his official Twitter account has not been the most correct. Among other things, because after almost 3 years of generation, there has not yet been a cross-platform game that has shown that, as it says, the PS5 SSD is almost twice as fast as the Xbox Series, which is only on paper.
The argument, used in countless battles in the console wars, still puts the PS5 and its advantage with the SSD above the few teraflops of raw power that the Xbox Series X has. It is therefore all the more striking that the developer uses this well-worn argument, whether it is true or not, even respond to a user, which is effectively twice as fast. We still haven’t come out of our astonishment.
