PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S: Next-gen consoles a year later

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S

It has now been a year since PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S made their debut on the market, ushering in a next-gen video game console that, due to a series of exceptional circumstances, could give the idea of ​​not still be in full swing. We say "could" because, to the test of facts, the machines of Sony and Microsoft have actually already raised the curtain on the future they offer to gamers, which is something far from mere brute force.

Although the shortage of components, and the consequent scarcity of consoles available in stores, is destined to continue for some time, there are many fans who are asking the fateful question. What is worth buying between a PlayStation and an Xbox? A question that never as in this case is both apt and incorrect: on the one hand, in fact, we are dealing with two machines that are very close in terms of performance, but on the other there are enormous differences in terms of supply.

Watch on YouTube. This means first of all one thing: that, perhaps for the first time and regardless of the "type" of gamer you are, it has never been so convenient to own both consoles. The PS5 exclusives, the Xbox services, the ability to focus on cheap hardware like the S Series and the Xbox All Access subscription offer - which allows you to pay for the machine in installments like a smartphone - mean that putting both consoles in the living room is not a particularly crazy and expensive idea.
