I've seen and taken apart way more ps5's than I have Xbox, but that's due to people breaking the HDMI. Ps5 is also more popular than the Xbox.

As for non-user damage, I would say I've seen more ps5's burn encoder chips or have their lasers die, although this is only a handful out of the hundreds I've worked on.

So really they are the exact same as long as you don't drop it, yank the hdmi, or spill maple syrup in it.

So you think they are both sturdy enough and well built as long as you take care of them?

Unless you get massively unlucky then yeah. I've seen them infested with roaches with tomato soup inside and they still work great. Smelled terrible, but worked.
