10 Ways The PS5 Will DESTROY The Next Xbox

6. An Awesome Launch Lineup

Now, the launch lineup for both the Xbox Scarlett and PS5 is shrouded in mystery, but it's Sony who's clearly gearing up to have the better selection of must-play titles to coincide with the release of their next console.

For one, they've purposefully held back on announcing anything new for over a year now. Refusing to show up at major trade shows like E3 and show off what they have in development, they've instead doubled down on the few remaining PS4 exclusives already announced.

Consequently, it doesn't take a genius to come to the conclusion that they're purposefully keeping their cards close to their chest in order to have a bunch of big hitters ready for the next console launch.

It's not all speculation either, as the leaks so far back this up. Sucker Punch's anticipated Ghost of Tsushima is rumoured to be a major exclusive come launch day, while sequels like Horizon Zero Dawn 2, a new entry into the Killzone franchise and remasters of cult classics like Demon's Souls are also rumoured.

That would already put it lightyears ahead of the PS4's launch, and also whatever the next Xbox has to offer.
