As someone with both, I prefer the PS5. But if you’re more concerned about backwards compatibility, then the Xbox is a good choice too.

What do you mean by backwards capability and is ps5 not good at that or something. Also I was saying does ps5 1440p 120fps look better than seriess s

120fps performance is equal on both, with the PS5 just now getting VRR support.

The Xbox has more support for older 360, OG Xbox games — so your library is slightly bigger to pick from. The PS5 has some BC, but it’s mostly via streaming.

Both consoles are generally going to look identical, with the Xbox offering slightly (emphasis on that) higher resolution at times.

That being said, the PS5 controller is much, much better than the Xbox. That is something to think about.

Both would likely be the series X, as the series S is a cheaper "worse" performing version (so if you want performance you wouldn't want the series S).

The PS5 can only play PS4 games physically, and PS3 games with a subscription.

The Xbox Series X/S can play all Xbox One games, most Xbox 360 and a good number of original Xbox games, with the only cost being the game itself.

The Xbox definitely has better backwards compatibility.
