wow, I did not know that I'm sorry I'm a little biased when it comes to PlayStation but that sounds like Xbox will have the upper hand in graphics as usual and performance. some studios have stated that the performance of the ps5 is really good but who knows.
Still lacking good games and still personally think the SSD speed of PS5 will make it seem about equal if not PS5 on upper hand

The SSD speed advantage, when you look at the speed of the Velocity architecture though is negligible.

Not sure about that. Anyhow they are both going to be out soon enough so time will tell.

Compressed on the PS5 is still about the same speed as the SSD. Compressed on the Xbox Series X through the Velocity architecture is only about 0.7GB/s slower than the PS5 than the PS5's SSD. It's negligible.

That'll always be the PlayStations trump card the number of titles it offers, regardless though for me it would take a lot to switch to Xbox im just not a Xbox guy

Kraken is their compression. Of released specs, it doesn't really have a quicker I/O throughput that kind of adds to the speed of the SSD. The next gen Xboxes (Series X and all-but-confirmed Series S) will bring compressed media speed from the roughly 3.7 GB/s to a performance of about 4.8GB/s. Hence, the PS5's gap becoming negligible when you look at the compression.

That's your opinion and you're welcome to it. I'm more platform agnostic, because I've found things to enjoy on pretty much platform.

Technically, PlayStation is also starting to bring at least some of its games to the PC as well. Also the same thing as it's not just through PS Now. Major example right now is Death Stranding. But there are others and there's going to be more with the PS5.
