Release and Marketing

It all started when Sony Computer Entertainment first introduced its PlayStation 2 in 1999. The company positioned the console as the centre of home entertainment because it can play video games and audio CDs and DVDs. Microsoft’s main business was to support the personal computer (PC) business with Windows operating systems, software, and games, but it saw PlayStation 2 as a threat to personal computers.

That was when four engineers of Microsoft’s DirectX team Kevin Bachus, Seamus Bleckley, Ted Hase, and DirectX team leader Otto Berke began imagining a Microsoft console that could compete with Sony’s Play station 2, would look like. They designed a system that shares many hardware components with the PC, effectively runs versions of Windows and DirectX, and runs games on the console.

What does it look like?

Xbox Series X is composed of an Xbox Series X console; a controller, Ultra High-Speed HDMI cable, and power cord are included. A standalone can be to Xbox Game Pass and the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X | S for the complete experience.

The PlayStation 5, on the other hand, is fuelled by a custom system on a chip (SoC), having a custom 7 nm AMD Zen 2 CPU with eight cores functioning at a variable frequency capped at 3.5 GHz. The GPU is also a custom unit founded on AMD’s RDNA 2 graphics architecture.
