The leap in performance going from an Xbox one s 1tb to the Xbox Series S is absurd, load times are so fast for all my games with the new hardware It actually has me a little Torn for the petty reason

[markmeadows]

I sometimes catch sfs loading things. Like I see it on my screen. Clever trick but I think the hard drive should have been a touch faster.

Xbox velocity architecture = better ram usage.
PlayStation ssd = better decompression speed
I think that what makes a console superior in a subjective way is the titles, licenses you like the most it can provide.
Not the specs .😋

I think we will start seeing first party devs using this stuff in 2023
