Seeing your post history you don't care for specs or opinions seeing you've been asking the same question for years mate.

Since getting my steam deck my series X is just sitting there, keeping my unused switch company.

This response is ridiculous. OP please ignore.

If anyone's told you they purchased a PS5 because "it's trendy" - well, they aren't gamers, their opinions mean nothing and aren't useful for the OP.

I haven't a clue which one is built better but going on past experience, my ps4 is still running perfectly and I've had it since 2013. I've owned all other PS console and each have worked with no issue for 7+ years.

I've had my ps5 since launch and as expected it works perfectly.

I once owned an xbox 360 and it lasted 1 year before it had that red ring of death thingie.

Series x is more sturdy and standing rock solid while ps is wobbly as hell. Xbox also is quieter and operating at lower temperature even though have higher clock speed. It’s also smaller and easier to clean.

I would place my vote on series x

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.

I own both, gotta say the X is sturdier. But I prefer the ps5 to play

Still we are looking at 10.3 t flop gpu at ps5 vs 12.00 at Xbox. Don’t get me wrong , my personal opinion is , so far , I’ve seen more beautiful games on ps5, but I wish they could make that console smaller , that was definetly achievable

Having had both. I’d say the Xbox has better build quality. Feels more solid. More user friendly to take apart in my opinion. With regards to reliability, I’d say they’re both pretty good. But both are open to the usual abuse of people jamming hdmi and other cables in wrong, putting them in hotbox poor airflow areas. And spilling drinks on them.

Xbox is just better in every single way. PS fan boys hate to see it

I’m on my second PS5

First Series X

PS5 just started shutting down randomly, I’m normally inquisitive enough to strip apart a console but having it die in two years with my light gaming? Yeah, wasn’t best pleased but that’s tech for you.

Both consoles are just really, luck of the draw. I could say SX all day yet you go buy one and it die the next day.

I’ve seen PSU failures for both, lasers and the Liquid Metal thing on PS5 etc

It is what it is - a lot of people are going to brush the Liquid TP aside but yeah I’ve put mine horizontal, if it turns out to be a load of crap? I know I was safe.

This isn't a bait thread. I'm genuinely interested because I'm a former pc gamer who's going back to console. So I'm trying to get my ducks in a row on which console I want to buy with my tax return money. I haven't had a console since 1998. To be honest, I don't know anything about the modern day console. But I know they both seem to be good consoles with their own sets of pros and cons.

Honestly your best bet for temps would be in-depth Thermal imaging videos on YouTube.

I can certainly say my Xbox feels cooler in general and that could be for a number of reasons, my PS5 doesn’t exactly get hot and is only noisy when the disc drive spools which isn’t very often, even with a disc based game.

Generally all I care about is hot air being pushed out, which both do fine !

Xbox One X is still my favorite. The Series X and PS5 are both awful looking. I honestly don't notice any real difference between the Series X and Xbox One X, same UI even. Xbox One X is built better than both IMO

I've played on both and have too say I was more impressed with the ps but I did stick to my Xbox for game pass mainly

Let’s be honest most of us have been with the same console since online both are great for console gaming and do the job People argue over it all the time and each have perks and drawbacks but you’ll never settle this argument!

We have both in our house. Me and my son trade them back and forth all the time and love em both. But the Xbox just feels more sturdy. The PS5 is louder. It's awkwardly shaped and awkwardly huge, the stand won't stay on when trying to place horizontal. I hate having to move it from one room to another. I will be trading it in for the Slim as soon as it's available.
