Want to check out more about the new DualSense Edge controller? My review is up now: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kOB7qNN-prqxXas.html

I always was loyal to Xbox and would get a little jealous when I'd see the exclusives the PlayStation would have. Now I've switched to a PS5 and when I bought it the guy in the store basically said Xbox is more for multiplayer gamers and Playstation is the better fit for people like me that prefer the story-driven single player games. So if you're only going to get one that probably should be the main deciding factor for you. Sometimes days or weeks pass and I don't play any games. But I definitely use the streaming apps and other media capabilities every day

Backwards compatability is awesome on the series x together with Auto HDR and FPS boost.

I’ve owned both for about a year and a half and I find them both to be great consoles. Yet I find myself playing the PS5 about 80-20 compared to the Series X. I simply find the content more compelling and prefer the controller.

I’ve enjoyed both the Series X and PS5 a great deal. I do give a slight nod to the PS5 overall, though - the exclusives on the PS5 are incredible. Wonderful hardware either way though.

Maybe i'm old school, but I much prefer to purchase my games outright knowing that I actually OWN it, instead of paying a subscription.

It took me two years before I was able to buy a ps5 I couldn’t get one for love or money , sold out everywhere.

Extremely well edited video! I'm impressed. I bought both consoles this week, just waiting on the X to show up from the Microsoft store. PS5 has been killing it. The bar is high for the X.

The better choice between PS5 and Xbox Series X is a matter of personal preference and depends on individual needs and preferences. Both consoles offer high-quality gaming experiences and cutting-edge technology, and the choice between them will come down to the type of games you like to play, the features you value most, and your budget. Here are a few factors to consider when choosing between the two: Game Library: PS5 has a strong library of exclusive games such as Demon's Souls, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Xbox Series X has a lineup of exclusive games such as Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, and Fable. Online Services: Xbox Series X has Xbox Game Pass, a subscription-based online service that offers access to a large library of games, while PS5 has PlayStation Now, which also offers access to a library of games. Performance: Both consoles offer high-performance gaming experiences with fast load times and high-quality graphics, but the Xbox Series X is more powerful and offers more processing power. Price: Xbox Series X is the same price as the PS5, with a retail price of $499, PS5 has a retail price of $499 for the standard edition. Ultimately, the choice between PS5 and Xbox Series X will come down to your personal preferences and the type of games you like to play. Both consoles offer high-quality gaming experiences and cutting-edge technology, and the best choice will depend on your individual needs and preferences

I have both, got the Series X at launch and got the PS5 on a second wave launch which required me to buy an online bundle through gamestop. I have way more games on access on the xbox with Gamepass, though I've always gone Playstation over xbox in the past. Now that I have both, I do feel when it comes to exclusives PS5 wins, I also plan to get Starfield on PC over xbox.

For me it’s all about which exclusives you prefer.

Great comparison. Looking forward to see your channel grow, I just subscribed.

I have to say I love everything about your editing and presentation style-- a balanced mix of funny and informative. You've earned yourself a subscriber!

I bought the PlayStation 5 before about the Xbox series X. After I play both of them I think the Xbox series X is better than the PlayStation 5. One reason is it's actually backward-compatible can play older games. The fact that I can play a lot of Xbox 360 games is awesome. It has more teraflops which means it has more frames per second. There's more games that support 120 frames. They're both fast but the Xbox series X is the fastest console up-to-date. I was playing an old Xbox 360 game and it only took eight seconds to load the entire game from after the advertisement came on the game. And it's really smooth I love the Xbox series X it's the best Xbox it's my favorite console ever. The controller is really great also

I have a PS5 and had a Series X. Sold the Series X and built a high end PC. PS5 is still my go-to gaming station even with the pc

PS5s UI resolution is much better looking than the Xbox Series. Unfortunately with a PS5 one does feel very isolated since they eliminated all Community groups and there's very little emphasis on friends. At least with my Xbox i can relate with others much more easily and can immediately know when my buddies are online.

That was a pretty good review, is a couple of things you forgot, backwards compatibility on Xbox is incredible, whilst with the PS5 it's non-existent outside of psplus. You also forgot that offline play is generally a lot better on PlayStation ( for physical discs) These things could affect your choices if you live in an area with either bad internet, or if you have an existing Xbox 360 collection

Started the gen with series s and ps5 and quickly changed the Xbox for the x so I could pick up cheap physical games of titles I loved. My ps5 still gets most time because of trophies. Since my collection is there I feel like I might as well play third party games on ps5 to add to my collection. May have been different is I wasn't so invested as I still feel the portability of the series s should be considered a feature since it's so easy to take the console on trips

I was always on Xbox but recently got a ps5 and it’s pretty awesome I think it might have swayed me for now

For me this generation just started 2months ago when I first saw the PS5 on the shelfs.

This is the most helpful video I've seen comparing these consoles. Thank you. :)

I have both but that ps5 hit different. It’s the games for me

The missing point is the availability. In the country where I live, PS5 is harder to get.

What are the name of those lights for the back light behind your tv

damn such good content and only 850 subs??? u deserve more

Great production quality! What what program do you use for the effects. I think Gamepass is clearly a more compelling over PlayStation plus. But if you don’t care about playing the newest games the extra library is actually fairly competitive

Xbox Series X ! Great minimalism design, quick resume, queit working and lot lot games :)) 2 years with me !

Thanks for the review bro!

Great analysis Jason. On point

I own both and if I were to rate them I would break it down this way. Series X has way better backwards compatability it has Gamepass and is smaller. Sony has better exclusives as of right now, but that is changing soon. The PS5 controller has made improvements from the PS4, but I still prefer the Xbox controller. I can't really say one is better than the other as they are both really good. Only issue I have had with PS5 is finding several games that are performing very bad from backwards compatability and Sony needs to fix these issues. It seems Sony rushed it out the door and has not given much thought on improving it as of yet. If I had to choose only one. I would keep my Series X because I have a huge library of older games and I love how it upconverts them. To each there own. It is better to own both so save your money and buy both.

PS5 has their own “resume activity” feature on their system but doesn’t work as well as quick resume in my opinion. At least as from my perspective since most of my games on ps5 are physical copies instead of mainly going digital with gamepass on my Xbox series X

great video man

Ps4 had speakers in the controllers too. But not a built in mic tho

Budget = series S Mid-range = PS5 High-end = Gaming PC

I own both and love both more games the better to me!

This dude seems like a cool reviewer. Keep doing your thing King.

You can use any controller on Xbox or ps5 using a USB adapter, you can use a PS5 controller on series X or S using the USB adapter.

If you are in two minds the safe bet will be the PlayStation 5. You can't go wrong .

I chose ps5 digital for me. Happy so far

Thanks for making this video, I just ordered a PS5 and its coming on Thursday so this was helpful

Switched to xbox this generation after never owning one and always having a playstation and i must say I don't regret making the decision

Ps5 and series s are the best duo imo

I would rather have my own wallpaper and dynamic backgrounds on PS5.

I got my xbox series x October 2022 & my PS5 on launch day i'm enjoying both worlds🥂😎

Hey Jason I have noticed you have a AirPod max. Can you able to connect to both of your consoles and is the sound quality any good than the ps pulse handset or something similar?

For me,the fact that i can play all (or the most) games that i had on the 360,was the go to. I own a PS4 pro and I wanted to buy a PS5 but in the end, replaying my 360 games and the previous generation games with FPS boost that the PS5 lacks (like Prey, Dishonored,Fallout 4 and so on,games that were VERY underwhelming on the PS4),made my choice very happy. I'm a proud owner of a series x and thus far I'm very happy with it! Nonetheless I would have liked to play Days Gone and GOW on a PS5 with 60 FPS but hey,maybe in the future I'll get that too!

ive been debating the whole which console thing. i currently have a pS4 and Xbox One X and a Switch. Recently i have been playing my Switch more because of the game i am playing currently not available on the other 2. But i held off on upgrading to the newer Gen because they were hard to find and outrageously expensive . Plus the titles to take advantage of these powerful consoles were few and far between. Now i can find them both at retail. I like my games on a physical disc so i want the disc PS5 or Series X console. I have played way more Xbox games over the years and so i am going to get the Series X. i think with the game studio acquisitions they've made, Microsoft along with the whole Gamer Pass experience have the opportunity (potential HaHa) to make the gaming experience seamless over several platforms. Plus the acquired studios like Bethesda are not small players. They are heavy hitters and likely Starfield will be a home run. So i think over the next couple years AAA titles for XBox will start to dwarf Sony.

In Australia Xbox game pass ultimate is $16 /month but PS plus extra is $19 /month

I want that PlayStation start up sound on my ps5

I think Microsoft Xbox team needs to do is to have a more efficient version of XBSX digital with 75w power efficiency at $400. Lower the price of XBSS to $250. A gaming PC is so power hungry average 250w up to 600w. Xbox need to be real green and promote a power efficiency gaming.

I bought both this time around. Loved the PS3 and the 360 but didn’t bother with the PS4. Bought a PS4 Pro solely for the PSVR but sold it after a year. I did like some planned exclusives by Sony so bought a PS5 but in my opinion m, Xbox achievements are far superior to PS trophies with the latter only having 3 different levels - where gamerscore points vary from easy 5 point achievements with no max. Plus having gamerscore as a single score opposed to how many trophies of each type works better too. No. 2 The Xbox Elite controller with its trigger locks, adjustable stick height and travel resistance as well as the 4 assignable paddles have been a game changer in games - no more taking your thumb off the aiming thumb stick to jump etc. However the standard controllers for both systems are great. Game pass is awesome too. £10 a month for roughly 450 games is a steal. In conclusion, I like both consoles - A LOT. But… if it was not for PS5 exclusive titles the time I’d use it compared to the Xbox SX would be a lot less. As for my Xbox, I use it everyday and accounts for probably about 90 - 95% of my console gaming. They both kick ass though. Anyhoo, just my opinion.

Few hours with the dual sense? What are you doing with it to make it die that quickly? Definitely last longer then that.

Never owned a console when i bought xbox series s .. love the gamepass, that and the game streaming to other devices in the house are awesome

They are both good console period. I have a series x and love it. I will be getting a ps5 soon. They both have there advantages so get them both.

ps5 with gaming pc is my choice since almost every xbox games are on pc too... shame that ps5 doesnt have so good backwards compatibility like Xbox, i would like to play some older games from ps3

Great video. I decided on getting the Xbox series X for the game pass ultimate which allowed me to play games on my PC and Xbox or the cloud with the same save file. I was considering to get the PlayStation 5 but the design and lack of games taking advantage of the haptic feedback made me reconsider my decision. For those who are trying to decide one console or the other just decide either you want an good immersive experience playing games that do support the PlayStation 5 features or a good gaming service that let you play on nearly any device and a lot of backwards compatibility to older games. Both consoles are powerful therefore no need to compare tech specs.

Nice review of features, but you don’t give much information on the video and microprocessor performance comparison. Which has better performance and graphics quality at higher resolutions??

It comes down to the games. PS5 is the better choice for right now however Microsoft is buying up developers like crazy so things could change. You can't go wrong with either.

Quick question. All I play is NBA 2K and I like older Arcade games like Final Fight and street fighter 2. I mainly plan on streaming the games on the go playing away from home. Which system do you recommend?

I'm planning on buying the ""Pro"" version of the dualsense soon for no other reason besides I want to have my own controller that is noticeable but I love the clean white and black look so not getting a colored controller

I just pick up a ps5 so I have both but I do like Xbox more although seems I didn’t own a ps4 I am speeding all my time catching up on some amazing ps games like spider man and god of war in my opinion if u can afford both get both even if u get them a few years apart

Sony already talking about ps6 and can't make sure there's plenty ps5s to go around. Make it, make sense!

The background and music playing when you hover over games was there in ps4 and if i remember correctly it was there in ps3 as well

I love the ps5 and the ps4 still as well. I am looking to probably get a series x. I say get them both if you can I overall would probably play more on the ps5 but the quick resume feature is really nice and wish ps5 had that. I play pc also and have for years. If you already have a pc I would get the ps5 for the exclusives first since pc and xbox is so similar

No mention of the horrendous stick drift of ps5 controllers? I baby them, and all four I’ve owned stick drift. All I play is madden and MW2. I know 2 other people who have ps5s and experienced these same issues. They are by far the least durable controllers I’ve ever seen. I also own a series S and X. I play MW2, Forza and Halo on these controllers. I’ve never had a problem with them ever. Might not be breaking a mold in innovation but I’ll take that over controllers not lasting 6 months. Also streaming to twitch is much much easier on Xbox. Sony almost goes out of their way to make it difficult on the ps5.

Back in the day, it was a hardware discussion of what system could play games better. Now, they all look pretty much the same to the average gamer. Its more about what exclusives do you like more, PS or Xbox? If you have the money, get em both. Even the $299 Series S can play most games just fine at 900/1080p if you are strapped for cash $299 and a $14 a month subscription will get you almost 200 games to play online.

Music playing while on the game logo was a thing on the PS3.

When it comes to games I have to go with Xbox just because of GP.

The choice was simple for me. Gamepass + starfield = I had to buy the series X lol

As someone with a horrible internet connection I chose ps5 and I’m very happy that I did. The only thing I feel that I’m missing is backwards compatibility but honestly with the exception of a handful of games older games are hard for me to go back too. Most of them feel so dated when I try to go back and play them. If you don’t have a very good internet connection and are in a situation we’re your going to mostly play single player I can’t recommend ps5 enough. With my limited internet I only use it to update certain games for the ps5 enhancements like far cry 5 or other games that can be updated to take advantage of improved frame rates and resolution. Besides updating games here and there or system updates I’m exclusively a single player gamer and I’m more than satisfied with my ps5. But I will admit I’m jealous about star field because I love those exploration type games but honestly star field and halo aren’t enough to make me get an Xbox. I’d rather just build a PC.

I have both systems but at the end of the day it comes down to games. I generally enjoy playstation studio games better.

This video is perhaps the best I've seen on KZfaq. So many Xbox Series x vs. PS5's are biased towards one of the consoles rather than giving an even review. Thank you very much. I have a PS5 and your review was stellar and fair on the pros and cons of each console. I will have to say that with Microsoft allowing GamePass to be on everything including a Samsung TV they are kind of shooting themselves in the foot because they're not giving people a serious reason to have to buy the Xbox Series X. I think Sony's approach is more console-centric. There are people who have a gaming PC's who will buy the PS5 for the exclusives and use GamePass on the PC. That's a lost sale for the Xbox Series X which gives developers even less of a reason to bother developing for Xbox.

I own both and for me the SX edges out the PS5 just a little but both a great and glad I own both. This is the one generation I would hate to only own one system.

That Amazon plug was the smoothest affiliate marketing I’ve ever seen 😆

12:52 thats the exact combo I’ve got

I'm really enjoying my time with the PS5 but I really wanna see Xbox succeed. I don't own an Xbox right now but my most wanted game is Starfield. It just really looks like a game I'd enjoy. I'd rather play it than anything coming to PS

I don't care what system is better.. we are three years and on the next generation of console and still we haven't seen any major exclusive games on either console to be honest with you this is the first generation of console that I haven't picked up in the first two years I'm just waiting on a slim version Kathy's monster consoles are way too big for my entertainment center... splat facts

I was firmly in Playstation camp until this gen, Sony deciding to move Playstation HQ to California during PS4 era made me completely lose interest in it, as most of the exclusives became samey "cinematic" games like Last of Us(Which I always considered seriously overrated, even the first one I had to force myself to finish). Their seeming hatred of Japanese studios, by closing all of their own and demanding censorship from third-party ones also made me dislike the direction Americans were taking Playstation in. Not to mention 70$ games were initially an idea of Jim Ryan, CEO of Playstation, and only after no one resisted it much everyone else have adopted it as new standard price. All of that is why this gen I decided to get Xbox Series X, and I'm honestly really happy with it, Gamepass and Backwards compatibility are amazing features, and I certainly appreciate their recent turn to release more Japanese games on the console, even though they will need a lot more time to truly gain trust of Japanese devs and gamers, especially after Playstation effectively betrayed them the moment it started being controlled from US.

Thank f you didn't sit on the fence at the end with your review.

It's true, Sony does have better first party exclusives, that goes without saying, but Game Pass is unbeatable value. As a subscription service it has far more games and even added fps boost to bunch of titles which you didn't mention. I have PS Plus Extra as well which is cool, and I was able to enjoy games like Returnal and Stray without paying full price, but I find myself using Game Pass more and cancelling my PS Plus subscription intermittently. Xbox just need to update their UI and controller to be more next-gen.

The Xbox finally added themes that was available on on the PS3, the share button that was available on the PS4. I own both as well, but the UI is just better on PS5.

Went today to costco put the ps5 in the cart but then i put it back as nothing on ps5 interest me other than Spiderman. I used to like Sonys titles but they are all the same walking simulator third person single player action adventure. On the other Hand i have a series X and other than game pass i also have stopped playing it. I think the industry as a whole is dead either that or i grew out of gaming. The 360 ps3 imo was the last good generation. People can say quality all they want but i also want variety, after uncharted everything has become the same. I take GoW 3 over any God of war after it.

When it comes to External Hard Drives for my Xbox One Slim / Series X and PS4 / PS5. The wait-time for the PS4 loading up and reading the 8TB External Hard Drive is horrendous and even when you transfer Games from External -> Internal or Internal -> External…that takes way longer than it should. And also the Game Console demanding you only have 1 Version of any Game is also terrible when it basically says “IF YOU WISH TO USE THIS EX. HARD DRIVE ON THIS OTHER PS4, YOU MUST DELETE ANY COPIES OF ANY GAME(s) YOU HAVE ON THE INTERNAL HARD DRIVE OR THE EXT. HARD DRIVE.” (I wanna keep both copies of my PUBG, Cyberpunk, and MGSV[You know how long it takes to install Games SONY?]) It’s also Thee dumbest thing in existence when you wanna play GTA V on another PS4 Console and it says “OH SORRY THIS IS A DISC FILE OF GTA V, EVEN IF YOU OWN THE DIGITAL LICENSE TO GTA V, YOU MUST UNINSTALL THIS DISC FILE AND RE-INSTALL IT DIGITALLY.” 😂 On Xbox One Slim / Series X, you can basically connect 2 External Hard Drives to the Console both at once and even have 3 Copies of any Game on all 3 Hard Drives. 😂 I like that Xbox also has that Pre-Loading/Pre-Installing feature where you can search for most Games on the Xbox App and install it anyway to your Console before you actually buy the Game. I was bummed Sony doesn’t have a feature like that. Microsoft’s Console is very flexible with Game Data where you can even emulate old PS1, PS2, and PS3 Games on it’s Console(s) while Sony made their Console(s) more limited with Game Data AND entire Game Files to the point where it seems like they are actually trying to make their Console be an inconvenience for you. 😅 That’s why Xbox plays Skyrim, Fallout 4 and Cities Skyline better than PlayStation does cuz they allow for External Assets to be downloaded and used which gives us better Mods.

My dilemma is I have been with PlayStation for a while now. However, I only have enough to get one system and I think I’m going with Xbox this year. Just the fact that they bought the rights to the Bethesda is huge. That along with the game pass is why I am switching to Xbox.

As someone who owns both (I use PS for offline, single player games and Xbox for online multiplayer) I do prefer the Home Screen of the PlayStation. But that might be recency bias since I haven’t owned a PlayStation since the PS2 (I was poor and could only afford one so I went with the console I played multiplayer on). The PS Home Screen is clean and efficient. Xbox’s is familiar but it feels dated and needs something fresh. Plus, compared to the PS, it feels cluttered

Phew....just bought a 5! Great piece👍

As someone thats main platform for gaming is PC, I owned a PS4 Pro and Xbox One X and for me Gamepass Ultimate & Play Anywhere (Buy once own on Xbox & Windows) won me over so much I have recently picked up an Xbox Series X

To be honest … I’m sticking with Xbox/PC only because of the games i personally want to play and also (in my opinion) is a better platform for 3rd party games but another thing is that I’m a big Halo fan I love playing Halo Infinite and Gears … the PS5 first party line up is only single player games and tbh I’m not really a fan on single player games I still have my ps4 and I like playing God of War and Spider-Man but that’s just all (in my opinion) is what usually play on the PlayStation side but overall I prefer Xbox 🤷🏽‍♂️

recently my pc broke and to replace my gpu and mobo is quite costy was thinking of just getting a ps5 for genshin since thats one of my main games, hopefully i dont regret it

I own both Xbox Series X and PS5 love them both💚💙 Xbox supports dolby vision gaming (ps5 doesn’t) and majority multi plat games run better with higher resolution and framerates. Xbox has a game changing feature called quick resume and backwards compatiblity with physical discs and FPS boost and auto HDR for games all the way up to the original xbox, which ps5 lacks. Gamepass drops new 1st party and some third party games day 1 and has a solid game catalogue better than ps extra. Controller Ps5 is better and more next gen than xbox but adaptive triggers are mostly gimmick not all games use them and sometimes they get annoying. I disable them when playing shooters online. Also battery life on dualsense is not that great. Xbox controller is more comfortable feeling especially the elite series 2 controller. Only reason I have my PS5 is because of the amazing and awesome 1st party exclusives xbox sadly is missing. Only ones I like on xbox are gears of war games, forza games and state of decay.

Just keep in mind that if you are considering buying a PS5 today that due to value engineering changes that Sony did on the PS5 at the end of 2022, there are some major overheating issues. Over time, the radiator inside of the PlayStation 5 becomes clogged with dust, and the system overheats. To solve this problem, you need to clean your game console monthly. This will be a simple process for some people but a major hassle for others depending on how much free time a person has. I’m not saying that the PS5 is a bad console. I’m just saying this is something a person should really consider when deciding which console to purchase. For me I work 60 hours a week and have a lot of responsibilities outside of work. Thus, constantly cleaning and maintaining a console is a deal breaker.

I have both. Both are great. The quick resume is top notch but the controller of the ps5 makes gaming on it outstanding. ps5 is my favorite

6:47 - 7:00 omg HOWLS MOVING CASTLE!!! Damn that's an amazing Anime movie! Now, I might have to rewatch it again pretty soon. P.S. amazing review comparison. Loved your work and honesty. Great lighting and ALL 🎉

I have both next gen consoles now bro and I’m more of a PlayStation/Sony fan boy but I do support Microsoft and Xbox too and that’s why I have the Xbox Series X and I got my PS5 back In December 25, 2020 and Xbox Series X back in November 7, 2022 almost 2 years and 3 days before the original launch release date of the Xbox Series X came out November 10, 2020 bro and great 👍 video bro 😎

Good review thanks loving the Series X and PS4 pro

I just got a xbox series x it's the first gaming system I bought since game cube so I'm little behind 😆 but I found the xbox on sale with an extra controller on and ebay store so I pulled the trigger and bought it and I love that it's backwards compatible with a lot of xbox games so it's giving me a chance to catch up and I love that it also comes with a browser readily available Unlike my friends ps5

Been a PlayStation guy since the first one dropped, eventually got a Series S to try out along with my PS5 and for me I think it just comes down to exclusives and Xbox just doesn’t have them like PlayStation does, I could use it for games like COD, NBA2K, Madden etc. but I could also do the same with my PlayStation, Xbox just doesn’t do it for me

Good Video

I have a ps5 since 2021 and I bought a series x yesterday. Just by playing halo instead of cod on ps5 I felt so much more relaxed and enjoyed all session long. Just by that, if I could only have one, I’d choose Xbox over ps5 every single day

I own both and my preference is Series X because they bump Far Cry 4 and 5 (my favorite games) to a solid 60 fps, while FC 5 and 6 are still stuck on a measly 30 fps on PS5.
