Sony’s PS5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X are both marching toward the next-generation console war right now. I would’ve laughed if you had told me a few months ago that I would be saying this now, but for the time being, Microsoft has an obvious edge. Sony absolutely crushed Microsoft in the current-generation console battle, with PS4 sales that have exceeded 110 million units and about doubled estimated Xbox One sales. A few months ago when PS5 and Xbox Series X leaks started picking up steam, it seemed like we were headed for more of the same following their releases ahead of the holidays in 2020. There was so much hype surrounding the PlayStation 5 and it seemed like almost no one was talking about the Xbox Series X, which was only known at the time as Project Scarlett.
Now, things have definitely changed. Sony was rumored to be planning a PS5 event sometime in February, but that obviously didn’t happen. Now, with coronavirus wreaking havoc and industry events being canceled left and right, it’s unclear when Sony will make its first big round of PlayStation 5 announcements. Meanwhile, Microsoft has already revealed its new Xbox Series X console design, confirmed all the key specs, and even discussed some of the console’s exciting new capabilities that will push home gaming far beyond anything we’ve seen on current-gen gaming rigs. Sony has a ton of catching up to do, and we expect the next big wave of details to come in March. We don’t expect Sony to share any information about PS5 pricing at that time though, but we have some interesting thoughts to share on that front.
