Unbox Therapy explains why PS5 is better than Xbox Series X Unbox Therapy, Sony, MicrosoftPopular YouTube channel Unbox Therapy has managed to get their lucky hands on both Sony and Microsoft\u2019s latest technological behemoths. The video features a proper in-depth look at each console, and UT suggests why the PS5 is better than the Xbox Series X. [jwplayer sdEiSVZH] One of the world\u2019s longest and fiercest ongoing debates is in the battle for supremacy between Sony and Microsoft. Who is better? With each company on the verge of releasing their brand new consoles, people are scrambling to squeeze every bit of information they can find. People want to make a fully-informed decision, and Unbox Therapy may be able to help. The famous YouTube channel became famous for its systematic unboxing of products and providing insight and reviews on them. The channel \u2013 which now boasts a whopping 17.5 million subscribers \u2013 has been fortunate enough to be sent both consoles. Co-creator, Lewis Hilsenteger, explores them and a selection of accessories and games to review. PS5 vs Xbox Series X key differences With millions of pre-orders already in for each console, it\u2019s now a case of waiting for that brand new baby to arrive. But for the less savvy consumer, what is the actual difference apart from them being different colors? Lots of people are already accustomed to and feel brand loyalty to one or the other. This can stem from each console\u2019s respective controller, the software, and other factors. The controllers each have different nuances that make them totally different. Each piece of hardware has specific agreements in place with companies \u2013 allowing for exclusive titles that can only be experienced on one console. The hardware itself also has different menus and aesthetic differences that people will naturally gravitate to. Another key sticking point is the social connectivity between groups of people. If two or three friends have a PlayStation, then other close friends will feel inclined to get the same console so they can all play Call of Duty together. There are many aspects that go into determining the \u201cconsole wars.\u201d The console designs One of the things that Lewis complimented, repeatedly, was how good the PS5\u2019s design was \u2013 and it\u2019s accessories. On its design, he said: \u201cThis feels newer to me\u201d and that the console is \u201cgoing to command a little bit more attention.\u201d It\u2019s been well documented how extreme and innovative the PlayStation 5 looks. It does legitimately look like a console sent from the future. Whereas he felt the Xbox Series X was perhaps a little more safe. For the X, he said: \u201cI like simple forms, I could get behind this one to.\u201d This is inferring that Microsoft has kept the basic design of their consoles very similar, as far back as the original console. The 360 was the only one to really experiment with the color palette, but even then the Elite went back to being black. Sony, on the other hand, has gone from grey to black to silver to even white with the PS5. The controller The general sentiment about the base controllers was largely the same as the console designs. Lewis seemed blown away by the ingenuity and cutting-edge of the PS5\u2019s revolutionary features. He had this to say: \u201cThis controller ends up becoming the story of the whole thing, when you see it and feel it, you realize that\u2019s something new.\u201d On the other hand, he didn\u2019t criticize by any stretch of the imagination, but he felt the Xbox\u2019s controller was \u201ca little bit less exciting on the Microsoft side\u201d. He noted how similar the controller felt to previous iterations of the system. One minor mark against the controller was the fact that it still requires batteries. He thought \u201cit seems a little bit odd in 2020.\u201d This argument felt more conclusive with Lewis suggesting that the PS5 controller is \u201cthis is the more advanced controller.\u201d The accessories The PS5 was partnered with the new Sony Pulse 3D wireless headset, a charging cradle, and the PS Camera. Lewis felt the cups for the headset were \u201cnot the most isolating experience ever,\u201d but pointed out that the headset itself was \u201ccrazy lightweight.\u201d He loved the charging station, saying, \u201cThis is super simple, wow, wow,\u201d and couldn\u2019t say much on the camera apart from its complementary design. The Series X came with an Elite Series 2 controller and an Adaptive controller. Lewis raved about the Elite Series 2, citing it as being a \u201cgood looking controller\u201d and on \u201canother level of configuration.\u201d Its price point was questioned as it\u2019s nearly approaching the $200 mark, but he was complimentary of the adaptive one, saying, \u201cthat is a cool thing that Microsoft has that doesn\u2019t exist on the Sony side.\u201d Overall, it\u2019s a tough one to gauge. Microsoft offered fantastic products, but just controllers. Sony offered a fuller range of accessories, but were they as desirable as its competitor\u2019s? The software Lewis demonstrated Spider-Man: Miles Morales and the pre-installed Astro\u2019s Playroom. He pointed out that \u201cyou notice the shadows, the lighting, the detail\u201d and \u201ceverything is quick, everything is a generation ahead.\u201d He spoke highly of the quick load times and appreciated Astro\u2019s use of motion controllers, the haptic feedback, and overall functionality. The Series X has no discernible launch titles so he used Forza Horizon 4 to show-off the visual representation. He commented on how good it looked and talked about the impressive capabilities of the system in that games like Gears 5 can reach 120 frames-per-second. With regards to software overall, Lewis said, \u201cmaybe at the moment, PlayStation has a bit of an advantage.\u201d This points to the PS5\u2019s launch day exclusives, and upcoming games that can only be played on Sony\u2019s console. The verdict When it came to breaking down both consoles and giving a definitive answer, Lewis was able to answer with certainty. He said: \u201cI\u2019m gonna go ahead and take the PlayStation\u2026There\u2019s something about the styling, it\u2019s a little bit more ambitious from a styling approach.\u201d He seemed very enthusiastic and impressed with Sony\u2019s attitude to adopt a true next-gen feel and do something different. Additionally, he thought \u201cXbox feels a little bit more utilitarian,\u201d due to its simplistic but equally functional design choices. To conclude, Lewis took a somewhat impartial stance by saying: \u201cI pick the PlayStation, but they\u2019re both fantastic.\u201d He clearly enjoys both consoles, but thinks the PS5 just has the edge.
