PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series X: Which is better?

PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X, the next-gen consoles are here. But which is better? Which do I prefer? And which do I think you should buy? This is my honest review and opinion, with one choice.

Having used and played both consoles over the last two weeks, I’ve compared them, side by side, in all of the important categories. These include the UI, controllers, games, gameplay, console looks and more.
A lot of you asked which console I would keep, whether the PS5 or Xbox Series X is better, and today I answer that question along with my honest review and opinion of them both. No console wars here, we’re all gamers.
Let me know which console you have or would buy?

Honestly for most people it comes to whatever your friends have

[@_chopper_]

Exactly

[@anabenskywalker122]

For me it’s based on which games I enjoy. All my friends were telling me to get the Xbox but I ultimately went with the PlayStation since it had games that I would enjoy (I really like RPGS that are exclusives for some reason). And with this being my first non-Nintendo console I wanted to get something I was familiar with. But now, a lot of my friends hate me since I didn’t take their advice and instead went with my brother’s when he told me to think back to when I was really young and he and I playing ratchet and clank and sonic all of the time

[@H4P.]

@@anabenskywalker122 wow I just went with Xbox because all of my friends had Xbox and I wanted to play with them so I got an Xbox, and it was for the better because me and my friends ended up playing multiple games together throughout quarantine this year so it was really nice

[@spookynuts7148]

@@H4P. Due to the playback capabilities on the Xbox X from xbox1, all the way up and even ps4 games? On an Xbox? Plus the cross cloud capabilities from pc, to tablet, to phone , back to tv? Yeah your getting much more value for your money then ps5. People don't realise that sony makes it to where your only limited to buying games worth $60+$70+ dollars and only exclusive to them as well as limitation in back compatability. Your already spending to much money on a game system for sony to apply limitations only for the reason of making profit and pushing folks to buy new games. With Xbox you get much more of the new games plus the classics across all your devices. Sony is to limited now not like when they launched a full back compatable version on the ps3. So again i'm going with Xbox as ugly as that square box is i'll just turn it into a coca-cola cooler and add some chritmas lights to it. But to me i already own the back compatable ps3 and have a game collection the goes from ps1 all the way up to ps3. I chose to skip the ps4 on porpouse to see what sony would do next as far as back compatibility goes. When they anounced they would not offer a seperate back compatible version that was a deal breaker for me. Can't wait until after march where all the problems on the new systems are fixed and more games come out. I'm in now rush to be the testing rat of any brand. I leave that to many of you who thirst for the first batch. No way i will wait it out until after march to get my XBox X 1TB.

I still have HDD's in my PC but I mainly use them for storage rather than gaming (unless it's an old game that doesn' t need an SSD boost)as getting large SSD's can be rather expensive for me. The series X definitely feels quick and responsive which tbh couild encourage me to use it moer especiall ygiven the XB1 felt a bit sluggish at times which ws why despite the fact I did like a lot of the games I got I barely used it.

My thing with the console war is how many controllers you go through and the amount of games available with one purchase. My friends with a ps4 or ps5 constantly go through controllers because of either the charger port started to bend down or the controller’s inputs on going through. And I used to play ps4 a lot for two years even though I’m a life king Xbox player, one thing I’ve noticed is PlayStation is that online competition is a lot easier. And I’ve played a lot of COD black ops 4, fortnite and apex. It was really easy to dominate compared to Xbox. One thing about PlayStation that I’ll give credit for is how the controller feels and responds, however I feel like all the mechanical parts that make the controller more advanced; break easier. I respect PlayStation but I’m an Xbox fan since the first Xbox. The fact that a jail broken Xbox can play old PlayStation games is hilarious when PlayStation is having a hard time with backwards compatibility.

Yea I’m 24 and i had a 360 back in the day. The Xbox was the clear winner in the 360/PS3 generation. I bought a Series X because the system and the exclusives appealed to me more than the PS5 did. I’m glad I bought it. But I bought a PS5 last week too. I couldn’t get any friends to make the switch this generation.

​@redx so lets see... god of war, horizon zero dawn forbidden west, spider-man, Bloodborne, The Last of Us, Persona, Ratchet & Clank, Ghost of Tsushima, Uncharted, inFAMOUS, Gran Turismo, Until Dawn, Sackboy, just to name a few. Also the outrageous amounts of free ps plus games (that you get to keep forever) and the ps plus collection that basically gives you the best PS4 games all in one package. and don't even get me started with Nintendo games... just remember one thing, quality games over hardware and quantity any day of the week. I have a pc with and rtx 3060 that can basically play any game above 60fps on ultra settings and I personally get bored to death with gamepass. It’s a lot of games but also a lot of meh games or games that I already played.

[@VorrTechs]

@redx bro... respect your opinion but imo and also the majority of people's opinion based on reviews and overall audience feedback, those games that you listed are an absolute joke compared to the PS Studio lineup, but hey, to each their own. also you keep talking about how much games you have, but again, always remember that quality is always over quantity. bethesda has some great games like doom, skyrim, fallout but lets be real, they're not the best when it comes to consistency, and this is proven by their history.

I think both of these consoles will go down as great consoles. The PS5 is the better option at launch mainly because of the exclusives actually being present (the duel sense is fantastic too).

Throughout my gaming history I've never settled for one or the other when it came to these 2.

Bought the Xbox One in 2019 so I could play the Gears 4 & 5 (Gears is my favorite game series ever). And thats where I currently sit. I know at some point in time I'll eventually own both PS5 and Xbox Series X, but that'll be awhile, can't go blowing money on gaming like some people can, got a family and bills to worry about, but I think I'm going with Xbox Series X first, that way I'll have it when Gears 6 eventually comes out lol.
