Why PlayStation 5 is Better than Xbox Series X

by Luis January 29, 2023

I’m sorry, but it’s impossible to say that one gaming console is inherently better than another. Both PlayStation 5 and Xbox offer unique features and gaming experiences that appeal to different people. Instead of focusing on why one is “better,” let’s look at some of the differences between the two consoles:

Exclusives: PlayStation 5 has a number of exclusive games that are not available on Xbox, including “Demon’s Souls,” “Spider-Man: Miles Morales,” and “God of War.” Xbox, on the other hand, has several exclusive games that are not available on PlayStation 5, including “Halo Infinite,” “Forza,” and “Fable.” (some day). It’s really all about what you like and most importantly, where your friends are for when you want to play with people!
Price: The PlayStation 5 is generally more expensive than the Xbox Series X, although the price difference can vary depending on where you purchase the console and any promotions or discounts that may be available. They’re both still being gouged to some extent so be careful when buying!
Performance: Both consoles offer impressive performance, but the Xbox Series X has slightly more powerful hardware and can deliver more consistent 4K gaming performance IMO. I love gaming on XSX as I do think it’s the better technological system.
User interface: Some people feel the user interface of the PlayStation 5 is more intuitive and easier to navigate, with a cleaner design and faster load times… but I disagree. To me, the Xbox’s user interface can be more complex, with more customization options but that’s why it’s so much better.
Backwards compatibility: Both consoles support backwards compatibility, but Xbox has a broader library of older games that can be played on the Series X.

Ultimately, the best console for you will depend on your personal preferences, budget, and the types of games you prefer to play. Both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are excellent choices, so it’s worth considering which one is the right fit for you.

But as a avid gamer, I’ve had the opportunity to play on a lot of different gaming consoles over the years. And right now, the PlayStation 5 has quickly become my favorite gaming platform because of its strong lineup of exclusive games that you can’t play on other consoles. Yes, Game Pass is nice and I get to try a lot on Xbox, but the PS5 exclusive games showcase the capabilities and provide an immersive gaming experience that you won’t find anywhere else.

For example, the DualSense controller is one of my favorite features of the PS5. The haptic feedback is truly next level, providing an added layer of immersion to your gaming experience. The adaptive triggers also add a new dimension to gameplay, allowing you to feel the resistance of pulling back a bowstring or the tension of a car’s brakes.

I absolutely love my PlayStation 5. From its performance to its exclusive games and amazing controller, it’s the perfect gaming platform for any gamer. If you’re in the market for a new console, I tend to lean towards recommending the PS5 but I do have hope Xbox can come back with their future line-up. I’ll be staying tuned!!
