XSX vs PS5

[chronovore]

Incredible console. 
The jump from PS2/GameCube to Xbox 360 was probably the last great jump we've seen or will ever see on the console side.

It was the last time we saw such a wave of innovation in one step, at launch:

• HD support
  
• Required online support - expectation of synchronous networked gameplay (this was too huge, and ill-conceived; ended up having Leaderboards for bullshit after devs realized that's all that was required)
  
• OS level voice chat, supported across activities - participants could be chatting across different games
  
• Activity based awareness of Friends - you could see what they were playing or watching
  
• incentivized, objective-driven tallies - Achievements
  
• wireless controllers
  
• online marketplace for downloadable games
