The PS5, powerful, but complicated to buy
Sony's PlayStation 5 was released over two years ago, but it's still very hard to buy.
Reduced stocks, linked to limited production, represent the main reason for its scarcity.
This does not prevent the PS5 from enjoying quality exclusive games, such as Horizon Forbidden West or God of War Ragnarök, both released this year.
It is one of the most powerful game consoles on the market, but also one of the most expensive: it costs 549 euros without a game.

The Xbox Series X, less exclusive, but easier to find
For its part, Microsoft's Xbox Series X is really the most powerful console of the moment thanks to its GPU which goes up to 12 TFLOPS.
On the other hand, it does not compete with the PS5 when it comes to exclusive games: the most recent and most notable is Halo Infinite, released a year ago.
However, thanks to the Xbox Game Pass subscription, you can play many games unlimited for 9.99 euros per month, which is a good plan.
In addition, it is much easier to find the Xbox Series X in stock, and the console even benefits from promotions.
Its base price is 499.99 euros.
Sites to find the Xbox Series X in stock:

You will therefore probably find it easier to get your hands on an Xbox Series X than on a PS5 for Christmas, but make sure that the console corresponds to your desires!
