Why should you buy the PS5 or X-Box Series
It is another plus for the Play Station Family as they welcome the new Play Station 5 (PS5) during the easing of lock-down. It is no surprise as the launch of the PS5 was delayed due to the effect of the corona virus pandemic which affected a lot of tech companies operations (Apple, Samsung and the likes), while some others did remote jobs to continue operations during the lock-down. The play station 5 has been rumored since early 2019 and finally the await is over as we are experiencing a new evolution of gaming experience from both the PS5 and the Xbox Series X.
The X-Box Series X on the other hand was announced during the E3 2019 as "Project Scarlett" and is scheduled for release in late 2020 and we are going to take a close look at these gaming consoles.
