11 th June 2020, Sony finally revealed the PS5, their next-generation console, and the major competitor for Microsoft's Xbox series X, which was unveiled on December 12, 2019. The two companies have been rivals ever since the days of the XBOX 360 and the PS3 and 15 years later, nothing has changed. Sony's PS4 was the clear winner during the previous generation of consoles, but Microsoft has learned from its earlier mistakes with the Xbox One and intend to not repeat them once again. Both consoles have made major upgrades compared to their predecessors, but the real question is which console is truly superior?
Xbox series X vs PS5: Price and release date Neither company has announced any specific release date or price, but both are expected to be available for sale in late 2020. Several leaks suggest that the ps5 will be pegged at between 450-499 USD, whereas the price of the series X remains unknown. Microsoft will have to be clear with its price as the Xbox 1 was more expensive and was slower than the PS4 at launch and they cannot afford to make such a mistake again. A key detail is that Sony will be limiting the purchasing rate to one PS5 per person.
