XBOX Series X V.S PS5

Updated: Feb 17, 2021

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are both finally available in India: which one should you buy? Well, available is a strong word right now, given they are both sold out virtually everywhere — and there's no word on new stock is expected to arrive, unlike the weekly drops that happen in other markets. That's largely because of chip storages across the industry at large — from car manufacturers to laptop makers, no one is able to cope with the global demand, fuelled in part by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. AMD, which makes the custom chips for both PS5 and Series X, admitted recently that it will continue to have supply issues through the first half of 2021, so picking your next generation console might come down to availability.


But when do you get the opportunity to pick between Sony and Microsoft's next-gen console offerings, which one is the best choice? The short answer is that there isn't an obvious winner. That's why I decided to compare them across the board. It's all in the video below. I'll talk about games, from what's available right now — in terms of exclusives and backward compatibility — to what's coming up in 2021. How the games perform. The varying strategies to sell those games (Xbox Game Pass for one vs. a higher price for the other). How the two new controllers (DualSense and Xbox's) shape up. The problems with storage. And the unique features they offer. PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series X specs

PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series X controller

The DualSense controller for PS5 is a major upgrade on the DualShock 4 for PS4. It's more ergonomic and made of higher quality material, but most importantly, it adds to the gaming experience with haptic feedback and trigger resistance. Microsoft had both (or something similar) with the Xbox One controller, but Sony is pushing those systems further with the DualSense.


Microsoft has kept things much the same with the new Xbox Wireless Controller. It's got a new “Share” button borrowed from DualShock 4, and a modified D-pad borrowed from Xbox Elite Controller. Unfortunately, Microsoft still doesn't offer in-built rechargeable batteries, preferring to give consumers choice (the AA batteries route), but I think that's the wrong move.


PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series X games

At launch, neither next-gen console can boast of a stellar line-up. PS5 has Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Demon's Souls, Astro's Playroom, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, The Pathless, Godfall, Bugsnax, and Destruction AllStars (nearly three months after launch, in fact). But very few of these are actually PS5 exclusive, they are also on PS4 and/or PC.


Meanwhile, Xbox Series X boasts of Gears 5, Forza Horizon 4, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Yakuza: Like A Dragon, and The Medium (over two months after launch). Most of them are games from the Xbox One era or older, and one is an exclusive only for a limited time.


The launch line-up for PS5 and Series X is much bigger beyond PlayStation Studios and Xbox Game Studios. We've the likes of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs: Legion, Immortals Fenyx Rising, FIFA 21, NBA 2K21, Dirt 5, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Rainbow Six Siege, Just Dance 2021, Mortal Kombat 11, Borderlands 3, No Man's Sky, and Destiny 2.
