The load times of newer cross-platform games should be better with the additional 0.2ghz.

I agree, I'm not buying systems to see which gives me the fastest load times. I grew up with long load times...i just use that time to go bathroom or to the fridge to restock. Faster load times are nice...but not the main selling point for me.

Give us Witcher 3 load times! Jk
Honestly, I hope both of these consoles succeed. 2020 has been a really crappy year and 2021 looks to be heading in a similar direction. If these help keep people sane and happy, I’m all for it. That said, I couldn’t tell you the difference between either of these games and from my limited knowledge, people will pick the consoles that their friends are on and / or the exclusives that each one offers. PS5 controller does look pretty dope though.

I didn't give a shit about the PS5 controller haptic feedback nonsense. The way people are talking it looks like I might need to give it a try.

Are you talking about Miles Morales booting to the start menu in four seconds and start menu to gameplay in less than two seconds? Essentially 5-6 seconds from booting the game until you’re in it.
Lol at taking any of this BC stuff as some kind of speed test for the SSD.

All I know is Ghostsof Tsushima was the fastest loading game I have ever played. I can't imagine how fast it would be on the ps5.
Also why can't Xbox come out with some epic launch exclusives? That was their chance to rock Sony with that lame Spiderman cheese rehash.

It's the one area that MS has been having issues with for so long now I don't even know anymore. They started off X1 with some ok exclusives and then it seems like they just gave up. Games got canceled other games had massive issues. Even the exclusives they did release didn't seem to get talked about in the gaming community. Everything was just so underwhelming.
They've put themselves in a good position this gen but it's going to take a while before we really see it pay off. When I say a while I'm talking like I don't think will really see any difference until mid gen.

Has Xbox ever came out with a decent release date line up? I think only their initial Xbox had a good line up

But this isn’t showing much of anything in comparison to how fast the SSD is.Nope. This was from when I said all SSDs were fast
“But not super Sony fast!”
The anecdote I used shows an actual application of it and yeah, going from booting up a game to playing it in 6 seconds is super fast.

Not sure, I feel like it's been 10 years of Halo, Forza , Gears of war... There has to be something they could have brewed up to be just dam near Amazing epic vibes you get like when you see a Titan Serpent in God of War.
I was always waiting for something like this to blow my mind on the Xbox and it just never happened unfortunately.

Might change now that MS bought Bethesda. But I agree, XsX will need a big gen compared to X1.

I wouldn't trust a Playstation blog for PS stats any more than I would trust Xbox Magazine for Xbox stats.
It's so obvious to anyone who knows how load times work there's really nothing else to do but laugh. CPU + software/API overhead are the only possible explanations for why the Xbox is winning so handily.
It doesn't seem to matter how many times it's written, that on otherwise identical hardware/software testing between NVMe SSDs with throughput differences close to the same as the PS5/XSX, you're seeing load time differences that are rarely greater than fractions of a second.
