The gaming console war is heating up again with the two big guns all set to release their iterations in the coming months. Already the anticipation for the two is off the charts as the holiday season is fast approaching and the available information is adding to the excitement. Given what information is available in the public domain, let’s see how the two consoles stack up against each other and which one is the better option. Talking about visual design aesthetics, the two consoles adopt a different approach. While the Xbox Series X goes for a very measured look dominated by simple geometric shape in a boxy PC-like tower build, the PlayStation 5 boasts a futuristic slender curvy form factor. The choice of color is also different – the Xbox has a matte black finish while the PlayStation 5 goes for a flamboyant combination of white-dominated design with black color on the inside section of the console. While the Xbox controller follows the more conventional route, the PlayStation controller is strikingly cool. Apart from the looks, Sony has given the DualSense controller a better sensation dominated haptic feedback. This promises a better in-game experience and feels good in the hands too (presumably). A dedicated gaming console in 2020 has got to be packed with some serious hardware given the level of graphics modern day gaming titles have. The two consoles are going to arrive with some serious firepower, which won’t leave anything to complain. Both will be powered by the 8-core AMD Zen 2 CPU with PS5 running at 3.5 GHz and Xbox Series X having slightly higher 3.8 GHz clocking. Both will have the 16GB GDDR6 RAM, so no differences there either.
