PS5 Vs Xbox Series X: The Complete Buyers Guide

PS5 Vs Xbox Series X is going to be the debate that fuels the next couple of years - but for now, with pre sales, and more consoles on their way officially in novermber, just in time for the holidays - here's your complete buyers guide to which one you should chose!

Should you buy the PlayStation 5 in 2020? How about the Xbox Series X? Neither? Well, I think it’s time we break down what we know and see if we can help find out which of these next gen systems could suit you best!
Both of these systems are launching next month - hitting store shelves on November 10 for the Xbox Series X and Series S, and November 12 for the PlayStation 5. And both most definitely have their own strengths and weaknesses, too!
What makes this console generation interesting is how different it is from the generations that came before it. For the first time I can think of, all three major console makers are doing their own things instead of fully directly competing with one another. Sure, Nintendo has been like this since at least the days of the Wii, and they still are, but to say that the PS5 and Series X are targeting the same folks would be wrong. There’s some overlap, sure, but each of these systems have their own strengths and weaknesses that we’re going to cover in today’s buying guide! So, today TheGamer, let’s try to answer the question: Should you get a PS5 or Xbox Series X in 2020?

Nobody cares abt what u like, its abt what ur friends r gonna get

[Suavemente]

Respect both console but, been with Playstation since the first console . Its all about preference. So ps5. No hate on Xbox.

[kingsargonii]

I think the question should have been "Can you get a PS5 or Xbox Series X in 2020".

*Console war returns *

Nintendo and PC fans: 👀🍿

Most of us who already know what we want but came her cause it looked interesting

[MercysNo.]

I'm still planning on getting the PS5. I grew up w/ the PlayStation, it holds a special place in my heart.

[KailumAsylum]

I'm going to wait till a month or two after release, so I can get more details on what's better.

When no one has the TV to support the resolution

[AJFromBatuu]

If you’re getting a PS5 like me, why wouldn’t you get a disc version? It’s more expensive up front, but it’ll save you money in the long run, and It’ll take much longer to run out of storage

Ps5/xbox sx: "i am speed and power"
My tv: "will 360p do it?"

[lelelelelawl]

I am seriously triggered about him saying hard drive instead of ssd

[batnigga]

Fun fact: the exclusives section of this video was scripted before the Bethesda incident

[supreme_tech_reviews]

Clearly this script was written months ago. Microsoft has bought huge games like doom, skyrim and fallout to name a few.( which means those are also Xbox games) As for storage Microsoft does offer the option to purchase a 2 Terabyte extension drive and PS5 has stated that they'll offer something similar. While the Xbox series s is the cheapest next generation console. Its also the least powerful, it also doesn't output in native 4k. Rather upscale.

The controller shouldn’t have been a tie, though the Xbox controller is already great it’s essentially the same exact controller as the XBONE, the Dual Sense has adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, and built in microphone. I think that category would’ve gone to PS5, there’s just a lot more being added there.

[thegingercarguy]

I’ve never truly appreciated Xbox until now. Hundreds of games for 25 a month, a 250 pound, or so, option. All, or most, games available on PC? It’s brilliant

[jollyrioger]

Went from 360 to PS4 and this generation back to Series X. Microsoft’s been showing a lot of confidence in their console lately and I’m a big Elder Scrolls and Fallout fan.

[DJ_ODSY]

as someone who doesnt really care for the ps exclusives except spiderman, theres no reason for me to switch to ps from XB1 right?

[kracomimusic]

Im heading to the store to buy a potato be right back folks

[shuraikh]

Why am I watching this? I cant even afford them

[Focus_SF]

Wrong! The ps5 has 9.2 teraflops while the cpu can be maxed out 3.5. And while the gpu is at 10.3 the cpu will run at 2.8 this is called amd smart shift. The Xbox is much more powerful with a 40% performance delta. Please do your research before making videos thanks
