Metronomik game director Wan Hazmer, who is working on the action adventure game No Straight Roads, in an interview with GamingBolt said the upcoming next generation consoles, the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, both have their pros and cons. However, he says the end user experience is what matters the most.
"We’re sure the technology of both systems has its pros and cons, but what we’re looking forward to most is what these consoles bring to the user experience in the end, not only in terms of the games themselves but also the services that are attached to these games," said Hazmer.
"Sure, we can make fully seamless games with a faster SSD and richer graphics with a better core processor, and to be honest we’re very excited to develop for both, but at the end of the day, it’s the end user-experience that matters.
"We want to see how these systems would integrate with the lifestyle and interests of the user outside of the game. In the field of music, it’s important for us to not only see the audio tech but also how these systems utilize the metaverse of cultures in its ecosystem, how well these systems understand the user, how it integrates with music libraries, online communities, etc.
"Creating a crafted experience that would seamlessly touch upon the user’s area of relevance in certain points would be wonderful, in a next-gen sort of way."
The Xbox Series X and PS5 will launch in Holiday 2020.

It will always be about the games. A good game can be created on a toaster.
I think it's both. I think good graphics help pull you into the world and the overall experience. It doesn't mean bad graphics or sub par graphics makes a bad game but good graphics do mean something.
Words of wisdom.
Both having pros and cons is a given. The narrative that PS5 is “weak” though is annoying as hell.
meterverse of cultures that what games are missing , game play bedamned
This used to be true when DVD players and Blu-Ray players were very expensive and TVs were not so smart for digital content delivery. The console needed those other bells and whistles to stand out.
Now not so much. A smart TV has all the apps needed these days. Or people connect up a small android or apple device for those needs. Hell I can even connect my computer and smart phone to the TV easily now. People just have so many options.
It is similar to how when the PSP first come out. It was the best media player on the go. Now my smart phone does all that at more and with PS VITA i found myself gaming more so then using it for other purposes.
That is pretty obvious, still their game won`t be what I have interest into.
