It seems Microsoft's are getting the Series X console out early to 'influencers' way before the release of the console. Many seem blown away by the quick resume feature from the few I have seen so far. I think there are some things they are not able to say too, so no doubt information can be dripped out over the next month or so.
I think Microsoft's marketing has always been the first to make proactive moves with the release of information about their console(s) this generation. I thought the revealing of the innards, which looked quite impressive, design wise, quite along time ago, may have pushed Sony to reveal more about their console, if only to show the outside of the console at that point, but Sony held their nerve with that for quite awhile afterwards. And we have still not seen anything of the inside of the PS5 up to now.
So far I think Microsoft and Sony have been following different routes with their marketing and information releases, but atm I think Microsoft are stealing a bit of a march on Sony by giving consoles out for 'people' to use, and showing people actually using them. I wonder whether Sony will react with anything similar before their release.
This thread was not to say one or the other is best, or doing things wrong or right, just admiring this move by Microsoft this far out from release. It seems a confident move.
