I find nothing wrong with that honestly. All of our tastes are different but a lot of people want that new shiny goodness when they spend 500. I'm not going to begrudge anyone for that. I like the fact that I don't have to learn a new UI for the XSX but for the improvements in the PS5 UI, they should be celebrated as well, especially if they contribute to an overall better experience. I prefer ergonomics of the Xbox controller to the PS controller but something like DualSense is something new and is innovative. I see myself turning the function off since it appears to be a battery drainer but for someone else, it may be the greatest thing ever.
A console review, especially one for a console that comes out the same week as a competitor should be compared on the hardware merits of it. We all know that the XSX is the more powerful of the two but when it comes to newness factor like a new UI or features that go beyond a new capture button on a controller, Sony should be rewarded for at least taking that risk so at this time, giving them the same number seems fair.
