With gift giving holidays just around the corner families all over country are looking to get the new Playstation 5 and XBOX Series X as the perfect gift... if they can find one. The Playstation 5 and XBOX Series X sold out almost immediately upon launch last week. Although analysts have predicted that the Playstation 5 will outsell the XBOX Series X over time... right now, the current console wars winner is whoever put more stock on shelves. There are also different theories for why the consoles sold so quickly.

This time around it’s Microsoft’s Xbox series X versus Sony’s Playstation 5.

Both consoles are also backwards compatible, which gives Series X owners access to Xbox One games, and PS5 owners access to PS4 games. The Xbox series X comes out November 10.

REDMOND, Wash. – Microsoft is buying the company behind popular video games The Elder Scrolls, Doom and Fallout.

A stripped down version, Xbox Series S, will cost $300 and be available at the same time.
