Xbox Series X Versus PS5 Gaming Consoles

Game Quitters reports that more than two billion people play video games all over the world. 150 million of these people are in the United States. That translates to a lot of gamers closely monitoring the ongoing battle between Xbox and Sony for console superiority. Both the Microsoft Xbox Series X and the Sony Playstation 5 (PS5) are exciting new additions to the ever-expanding gaming landscape set for release in 2020. Do you know which console suits your gaming preferences and needs?

The Upsie team took a closer look at these two exciting gaming consoles to help you determine which one will take your gaming skills and enthusiasm to the next level. Upsie explored criteria for both of these “next-gen” systems that include the hardware, media compatibility, and user interface.

Keeping in mind the financial investment you are putting into your console you may want to also consider buying an extended warranty from Upsie. It will ensure many problem-free hours of competition with yourself, family, friends, or online communities.

The technical specifications of your console are essential and can make a big difference in the decision-making process for dedicated gamers.

One of the most crucial specs of the Xbox Series X is its powerful processor, clocking in at speeds of 3.8 Gigahertz, compared to the PS5’s 3.5 Gigahertz, notes CNN. While the speed differential might not make a huge difference to new and recreational gamers, it could prove a pivotal distinction between the two for seasoned, competitive gamers.

The Xbox Series X comes in first again for storage with a massive 1 TB of SSD storage. Compare that to the Sony PS5 that offers 825 GB of SSD storage. Depending on how much gaming you plan to do, 175 GB of storage space might not make a huge difference for you. But it is worth considering for those who play multiple games per console.

The Xbox Series X Wireless Controller features haptic feedback, hybrid D-Pad, dynamic latency input, and Bluetooth low energy pairing. At the same time, the Sony PS5 has haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and built-in microphone array which negates the need for a separate headphone.

The Xbox Series X offers a new generation of console gaming. It features innovations in hardware and software set to change everything for the future of gaming. With unprecedented speed, graphic fidelity, and dynamic power, you will want to play without interruption. Accidents and manufacturer flaws can happen, so you want to make sure you are covered to avoid any long-term breaks from play. Microsoft historically has offered their Microsoft Complete protection plans, but pricing has not yet been confirmed for the Series X.

The Sony PS5 promises there are no limits for game lovers with this console iteration with its 3D sound and adaptive triggers. However, there are unforeseen limits to any console when human error and accidents come into play. No warranty information is yet available for consumer review, so you must find an alternative coverage plan just in case.
