This question may be repeated every time a new gaming device is out in the market. Everyone asks if that device deserves to be purchased, and why? And of course, next month, as we all know, we will be in front of the Xbox One X, which Microsoft says is the most potent home gaming device.
So we will try in this article to show you what we know about Xbox One X and its advantages and try to discuss with you the issue of its competition for both PC and PS5.
Specifications and Comparison with the normal Xbox One
Before making a purchase decision for any device, we need to know its technical specifications without a doubt. The XBOX ONE X can run games with a resolution of up to 4K and high frame speeds, as Microsoft promised. Supplied with hardware of the most exceptional specifications, it will work with an eight-core processor, explicitly made for AMD. An increased frequency is also added in the central processing by 31%, i.e., from 1.75 GHz in the normal Xbox One to 2.3 GHz in Xbox One X.The enhancements also included an increase in random memories. The advanced device has a 12 GB GDDR5 memory, which is 4 GB more than the average Xbox One memory. It also equipped with a graphics processor with a processing capacity of 6 teraflops that exceeds the graphic processing power in the standard Xbox One four times.
The changes also included the cooling system, which is essential for the device to provide the required performance as the fan in the regular Xbox One replaced. The Xbox One X has equipped with a water-cooling system that simulates the most excellent graphic cards' system. It also works to withdraw high heat from the device's components with excellent efficiency and work after This is to cool the parts through the distilled water in the copper tubes of the cooling piece.
Despite all these specifications, Microsoft was interested in designing the device. It worked to make Xbox OneX the smallest Xbox device ever. Below you will find a table comparing the specifications of Xbox OneX to Xbox One.
Comparison: Xbox One X and PS5
We now come to the thorny section of this article on which a great debate revolves around, which no one can resolve. We have heard many analyzes on the topic of competition between the two devices. Playstation and Xbox fans each have their own opinions and reasons that they think are likely to tip each other over the other, summarized in the following points:- Exclusives: Microsoft, as I mentioned earlier, revealed in its E3 conference about 22 exclusive games for Xbox One, but the majority of those exclusives were for the games of independent developers. A significant absence of Microsoft studio exclusives was notice. To make matters worse, Crackdown 3 was postponed. On the other hand, although there is no exclusive game in this festive season, Sony promised the players several vast sweeps. They said she would launch before the next E3, including Spider-Man, God of War, Detroit, and Days Gone, all of which are highly anticipated games.
- Marketing Agreements: Another reason that some may pay to prefer a device over others is marketing contracts. Through these deals, owners of a device get exclusive additions or the ability to try the game with a beta version before others. For example, Play Of Duty: WWII players on PlayStation 4 will get their additions before Xbox players Wen, as well as Destiny 2. But with the advent of the developed devices, it appears that these agreements exceeded the limits of additions, some still hint that Destiny 2 did not work on Xbox One X at frames higher than 30 due to the Sony and Activision agreement despite the two parties denying the matter, on the other hand, and because of the Assassins Creed Origin marketing agreement Between Microsoft and Ubisoft we heard words confirming that the best version of this game will be on Xbox One X and even that the improvements are said to include introducing a bigger world, and we can interact with it better compared to the rest of the versions.
- Support and services: If Sony offers its players exclusives, Microsoft is trying to outperform them in terms of services, so do not forget that unlike PlayStation 5, Xbox One X and through Backwards Compatibility feature can play games for the original Xbox 360 and Xbox (later this year) and free for anyone It has those original versions of those games and this feature library now includes over 400 games.
Microsoft also competes with Sony via a new feature, which is Game Pass, which is similar to PS Now. Players can enjoy playing more than 100 games for a specific subscription and do not need to have a high-speed internet connection such as Sony's service. Players can download the game and enjoy it throughout its presence in the service.
Also, there is a feature that Microsoft is working on that caught my attention recently. According to the Digital Foundry team, the company will provide players with a feature called Intelligent Delivery. It will facilitate downloading game files so that they can even download the game mode they want only and choose to download language files that interest them. It will provide a large amount of storage disk, and it makes downloading games faster.
But on this point, some discuss saying that Microsoft and Sony gave the developer complete freedom to take advantage of the specifications of the developed devices, which may result in the performance of some games, not as the owners of Xbox One X or PlayStation 5 desire. Destiny 2 is an excellent example of this as it will not work On Xbox One x and PlayStation 5, at more than 30 frames.
Some analysts also point out that several developers may prefer not to make additional efforts to provide dedicated support for one of the two devices, which may lose players the graphic advantages they may be waiting for.
