The PS5 vs. Xbox Scarlett Comparison Chart provides an easy visual aid to compare hardware, user interface, media compatibility and other features of the “next-gen” systems.
There are a lot of “TBAs” on this page, which help us see exactly what kinds of technical information we’re still anticipating for Sony’s next-gen console. The information below is from Wired’s interview with Sony’s Mark Cerny.
Microsoft has yet to announce much about its next-generation console (we’re expecting to hear more about it at E3 2019), but once it does, the information will be logged here. This page will hopefully look a little more like this by the end of the year.
