XBOX Series X vs. PlayStation5

The arrival of the new XBOX Series X from Microsoft and Sony's PlayStation5 herald the new era of console wars with new and exciting ways to play video games. Given the chance, which one would you go for?

Xbox Series X

First, let's observe the XBOX Series X. It comes with two versions; the Series X, which is priced at almost five hundred dollars plus additional taxes and delivery, and digital-only Series S, which is priced at less than three hundred dollars plus additional taxes and delivery. Of course, the cooler and more expensive Series X is the better bet because it features a rather unique CD-ROM system that run on almost all XBOX game discs, music CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs, whichever you may have. Of course, because this is the most powerful XBOX to date, it's the fastest as well because of its custom SSD and integrated software, cutting loading times short and then jump into the game like you've arrived early.

The Series X's controller is like a rebooted version of the XBOX One's controller and when you compare between them, it's hard to tell which one is real but either way, the Series X's controller works like most gaming controllers should.

Much to the surprise for XBOX fans, the Series X is backward-compatibility, allowing gamers to play almost all games from four generations of Xbox, and thanks to its cool services such as Game Pass, gamers can spend their lifetime experimenting with different XBOX games from all eras while taking advantage of the Series X's capabilities. Not only the old and existing XBOX games look good but feel good on this.

Spacing issues, the Series X features a Storage Expansion Card which delivers up to 1TB of external memory while maintaining the same peak performance of its internal SSD. That sounds great for those who had lots of games to install.

Sony PlayStation5

Now, what about the PlayStation5? Although it's priced similar to the Xbox Series X and comes in two different flavors, the one with the disk drive on it and the digital-only version that doesn't. However, unlike the Xbox Series X, the PS5's disk drive works only for PS5 and PS4 game discs, which sucks, but the PS5's new DualSense controller, unlike the Xbox Series X controller, is built from the ground up and it features a rather unique vibration system that behaves like the games you're playing such as experiencing the behavior of the anti-lock brakes from your favorite racing game.

Surprisingly, almost all of the PS4 peripherals do work on the PS5 as well, especially those advanced ones like the super-expensive racing simulator gear you have.

Of course, while the PlayStation5 can play both games of the same architecture, its power and speed make them even more enjoyable and lively to play with, and while it's best enjoyed at 4K TVs you had, the PS5 can support 8K output so you can play games at 4320p resolution display.

So, there you have it. The newest consoles in the market are the ones you would definitely die for unless you are stuck on a massive waitlist. If you have given the chance to own either of these two, which of these new-generation consoles would you go for?
