The Nintendo Switch 2 is officially here, and as Xbox fades into the shadows of the console market, PS5 stands atop the hill, ready to meet a new challenger. Naturally, these two platforms both have their separate appeals, so comparing them feels a bit like an apples-and-oranges debate. Still, if you're like us, you want to compare all the latest hardware to see what wins in a battle for supremacy.
Not to mention, this is a hotly anticipated war following on from the last console generation. The Nintendo Switch and the PS4 both became two of the best-selling game consoles of all time, so it's only natural that we size up the next era of hardware sales wars we'll be watching for the next couple of years. The PS5 has been on the shelves since 2020, so Nintendo has had nearly five years to watch on and prepare for the fight ahead. Of course, the PS5 was always going to be more powerful in terms of raw specs since it isn't trying to be something you take on the go.
