The New Generation powerful gaming consoles were released in November 2020. These consoles’ names are PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
The main confusion comes now which console better to play games. So don’t be confused I m here to solve your confusion with PlayStation 5 Vs Xbox Series X comparison.
Both consoles are made by two different companies like Sony and Microsoft. PlayStation 5 is made by Sony and Xbox Series X by Microsoft.
My main motive in this article is a comparison of both consoles and it’s helpful to my audience to judge who will be the best console.
According to my, both consoles are best for every game player because of 8k resolutions, powerful processors, and many more things which I can mention in the article, so keep reading.
Both consoles are equally powerful but according to my a little bit of difference in each console makes a big impact on performance.
So that’s why I m trying to explain the uniqueness of both consoles in this article.
PlayStation 5 Vs Xbox Series X Price Comparison
The price of any product is most important to buy it, so it’s compulsory to discuss the price of both new generation consoles. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X is available at the same price.
Both consoles are available at cost 500$ approximately. So price shows that both consoles compete with each other for who will be the No. 1 console.
Sony and Microsoft are also aware of those game lovers who can’t afford 500$ to buy these consoles.
Less Price Console
Both companies are launch affordable consoles for game lovers with lower versions of consoles.
Microsoft launches the smaller version of Xbox Series X is Xbox Series S. Xbox Series S console price is 300$ approximately.
Sony company also launch an affordable price console and that console name is PlayStation 5 digital edition.
Playstation 5 digital edition available at 400$ price without an optical drive but the digital edition has the same as PlayStation main console.
My advice is you can buy PlayStation 5, ps 5 digital edition, and Xbox Series X, I don’t recommend you for buying Xbox Series S.
The reason behind Xbox series S not recommended by me because it’s a performance not equal to Xbox series x, so it’s not justice by its price.
PlayStation 5 Vs Xbox Series X Specs Comparison
PlayStation 5 and Xbox series x are mostly equal in specs, but Xbox Series X has a little bit stronger than PS5.
Before the PlayStation 5 Vs Xbox Series X specs comparison, you must know that both consoles are more powerful than old consoles.
Both consoles have the same CPU like 8-core 3.5 GHz of AMD Zen 2 in PlayStation 5 while in Xbox Series X 8-core 3.8 GHz of AMD zen 2, it’s almost equal.
In Graphic Processor Unit (GPU) comparison, Xbox Series X looks a little bit stronger than PS5.
Xbox Series X has a 12.0 teraflop AMD RDNA 2 GPU, while PS 5 has 10.3 teraflops AMD RDNA 2 GPU.
RAM of both consoles is the same as 16 GB GDDR6.
SSD is playing an important role in console performance, SSD increases the load and saves files time.
Both consoles have Solid State Drive (SSD) for fast loading, Xbox Series X have again stronger than PS 5 in SSD comparison.
Xbox Series X has a 1 TB custom NVMe SSD, while the PS 5 has a little smaller 825 GB SSD.
These all specs show that Xbox Series X much powerful than PS 5 on papers, but the main performance of both consoles depends on how third-party games are optimized for both consoles.
So never forget that both consoles are powerful machines in the gaming industry, on paper, only small things make difference in both consoles.

On the other side, Sony tries backward compatibility in PlayStation 5 first time.
