Often, it is very tough to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by looking at specifications. The pic here will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the X2D and A6000.

Plainly, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The X2D with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Hasselblad X2D will resolve more detail using its extra 76 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more recent X2D should have an advantage in sensor technology.
