In the new year, Sony sends the PlayStation 5 into the race and then faces the Xbox Series X. If you believe a new report, Microsoft could have a decisive advantage this time.
The battle of the consoles in the current generation clearly goes to Sony and the PlayStation 4; Microsoft looks largely old in comparison with the Xbox One. With the Xbox Series X the Redmond attack now – and could actually have a decisive advantage over the PlayStation 5.
Since PS5 and Xbox Series X are supposed to be relatively similar in terms of performance, the line-up of the available games on the respective platforms is of increasing importance – and this is where Sony could exceptionally slip to the start. The launch of the last consoles has also been accompanied by exclusive first-party exclusive games, but Russian video game journalist Anton Logvinov now claims that Sony will not be offering any large-scale exclusive titles for the PS5.
If one believes the alleged leak, Microsoft could score extremely with the Xbox Series X in this area for the launch of the new platform, because the Redmond company is reportedly planning to release 12 to 16 exclusive games for the next-gen console at launch , Of course, not all of them will be of the highest quality and are considered real blockbusters.
Sony, on the other hand, should not offer a single really important exclusive title for the launch of the PS5, according to the game journalist. Instead, they rely on initially providing a variety of highly optimized versions of popular PS4 exclusive games on the PS5. Among other things, there have recently been rumors of a PS5 version of The Last of Us: Part II with virtually no loading times.
To a certain extent, Sony could be doomed to make its own blockbusters available for the PS4 until the end, for example The Last of Us: Part II and Ghost of Tsushima in the coming year. That could be a reason why there could be a gap with the PS5 launch. On the Xbox Series X, on the other hand, Halo Infinite could be a major reason to buy the release.
But how resilient is the source? Logvinov has hit the mark in the past, but has already scattered some misinformation. Most recently, he reported before the announcements of Hellblade 2 and the PC version of Death Stranding. So there could be something there or not.
Not much is known about the PlayStation 5 yet, but we have gathered all the information for you and packed it in this video.
