Like what? They have very similar specs, with the Xbox appearing to have a slight edge in GPU performance, and the PS5 having a slight edge in SSD speed.

  Their SSD is not just an NVME gen 4 drive, but includes hardware to decompress textures and other game assets as they stream in. It's going to let the PS5 do a bunch of stuff that the XsX won't be able to. Also, the controller with its haptic feedback is supposed to be a significant step up and Sony had originally had a huge in person marketing and promotion event around the controller that COVID messed up.

    XsX has hardware decompression engines too (zlib + bcpack) along with sampler feedback streaming, though PS5 does still have the edge on maximum SSD bandwidth and can pull assets more quickly. How much that increase in bandwidth will actually affect games is hard to predict. Some devs on twitter were claiming that it's a bit easier to hit 4K60 on XsX.

They've said they'll let you install your own PCIe4 SSD providing it meets some perf requirements.
