The Xbox Series X and Series S are priced at $499 and $299, respectively. The Xbox Series X is a flagship console while the Xbox Series S is an inexpensive console without a physical disk drive.
The PS5 console comes with a custom processor that supports 4K graphics, ray-tracing support and an SSD hard drive that provides "lightning-fast" loading speeds.
