This winter, Sony and Microsoft will go head-to-head, as the two gaming giants have revealed plans to launch new consoles.
In ‘Holiday 2020’, Sony will launch its PlayStation 5 console, while Microsoft will launch its Xbox Series X around the same time.
Now, a source claims that the PlayStation 5 ‘won’t be as powerful’ as its rival.
Digital Foundry claims to have obtained and verified test data from the two console, and indicates that while the PS5 will operate at 9.2 teraflops, the Xbox Series X will operate at 12 teraflops.
Digital Foundry explained: “The PlayStation 5 spec outlined in the leak points toward a device with more of a balance between price and performance.

“Assuming we’re looking at a not implausible 16GB of GDDR6 and a 1TB SSD, this is still an expensive-looking device – but stacked up against the monstrous Series X, it obviously stands more of a chance of hitting the magic $399 launch price-point that served PlayStation 4 and PS4 Pro so well.
“On the face of it, Microsoft has the more powerful machine, but some might say that in the console space, the price-point is of paramount importance.”
As with all rumours, Sony and Microsoft are yet to comment.
Unfortunately, there’s still a bit of a wait before we finally see whether the range of rumours about the consoles are true.
Both the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X are set to launch in Holiday 2020.
