Because we’re in the first year of both consoles’ availability, the PS5 vs Xbox Series X debate will rage on for some time. These are Microsoft’s and Sony’s brand new top-of-the-line gaming consoles, and both are aiming to provide a similar gaming experience, with the majority of the differences stemming from the games and services available.

Let’s take a look at the specifications, performance, and services available on both consoles. The PlayStation 5 vs. the Xbox Series X. Defend yourself!
