Rumor: PS5 and Xbox Scarlett “Very Powerful”

We are now well into the 2019 holiday season, and it is hard not to think ahead to the 2020 holiday season, when we will be able to purchase the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett. As we wait for more official details from Sony and Microsoft, we keep hearing from developers how the new consoles are going to feature an amazing performance boost over the current gen. And now, journalist Jason Schreier has remarked about how “very powerful” they are rumored to be.

What Jason Schreier Said About PS5 and Xbox Scarlett Being “Very Powerful”

Schreier recently posted this tweet which has received a lot of attention:

In the tweet, he says the following:

“A few more next-gen tidbits:

– MS has been well behind Sony w/r/t communication, but that probably won’t matter next fall

– Whispers suggest PS5 and XB2 have similar specs (and both sound VERY powerful)

– PS5 strategy is to be as accessible as possible (hence “no load times”)”

None of this is new, none of it is official, and none of it is particularly specific. In fact, it really doesn’t add anything to our existing knowledge regarding either of the upcoming consoles. But, Schreier is a reliable journalist, and what he says he seems to confirm what we keep hearing from other sources as it is. So, this continues to build into the hype as we wait to find out more about PS5 and Xbox Scarlett.
