Xbox Series X versus PS5: Microsoft just stole Sony’s thunder, again

Microsoft seems to be leaving no stone unturned to one-up Sony in the next-generation game console wars. After showing off literally everything about the Xbox Series X, Microsoft is also letting potential buyers know, its game console is coming very soon, possibly even before Sony’s PS5. The notify-me page for the Xbox Series X has gone live and while it still says “available Holiday 2020,” it actually serves more information than what Sony has put up on its own similar page for the PS5. The reason why that is, is because Microsoft has already revealed everything about its next game console — while Sony hasn’t.

So how did Microsoft steal Sony’s thunder again? Well if you look at the trend of how things have been, Microsoft has been very aggressive in talking about its next game console, trying to let some or the other information trickle out “curiously” just before Sony’s expected to out its own PS5 news. Sony is rumoured to be hosting a PS5 online event on June 3 where it’s said to drop “major” PS5 details. It isn’t immediately clear if Sony will finally reveal the final design of the PS5 on June 3, but a lot of chit chatter is going around the topic of PS5 games. Whether it would be PS5-exclusive titles that we’re looking at or a mix bag of games, some of which would also come to the Xbox One Series X of course, is something only time would tell.
