Different between `Object.create(ctor.prototype)` and `new ctor()`

Question

In VS Code 's source code, I found a pice of code like this:

(typescript)

/**
 * Creates a new object of the provided class and will call the constructor with
 * any additional argument supplied.
 */
export function create(ctor: Function, ...args: any[]): any {
    let obj = Object.create(ctor.prototype);
    ctor.apply(obj, args);

    return obj;
}

I think it's same with new ctor(...args).

Isn't it?
