With the release of the PS5, Sony kept its memory card near its chest and slowly spread the information to the public. Now that silence is finally over, we know exactly the power of the PS5.
Microsoft recently demonstrated the full weight of the Xbox Series X, so we put together a table that shows the two consoles side by side. In terms of raw power, Microsoft is undoubtedly the winner.
How does the PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series X-spec compare?
and so. PlayStation5. XboxSeriesX. And their predecessors. How do all specifications and numbers compare and stack up? These are all concentrated in one place.

Will this factor influence your next-generation buying decision? We don't know anything about gaming at the moment, but will you look at the upcoming exclusives before you make up your mind, or will you choose a more powerful console? Will the price factor influence your decision?
Although we still don't know anything about the price of the PS5 or Xbox Series X, assuming no delay from the corona virus, both consoles will be released before the end of the year. Hopefully they won't retreat too long-PS4 and Xbox One sales have fallen since the next generation of machines came out, so people are clearly ready for this jump.
