Next-generation Playstation and XBox to go head to head in pre-Christmas retail bonanza. trevorlong 9News
The console will go on-sale on November 10 alongside a much smaller new Xbox One Series S which is in simple terms the current Xbox repackaged into a neat little new form-factor.Like it's arch-rival, the PS5 is built to push the boundaries of the console gaming experience with a similar, if not mildly lower set of specifications, but none that you would notice in day-to-day gaming.
Sony's announcement today of a $749.95 price tag puts it head to head with Xbox, though the "All-digital" PS5 which is the same but without the CD drive allowing only for games that are downloaded off the internet - comes at a more compelling price of $599.95 which will put a lot of pressure on Xbox's top-end device sales.Sony's PS5 launch date is two days after Microsoft, with shoppers walking out the doors on November 12 with the new console.
