10 Ways The Next Xbox Will DESTROY PS5

2020 looks to be the year we'll see the next wave of consoles, as both Microsoft and Sony are set to re-enter the market.

Logic and past history suggests we will see both consoles released around the same time, as both brands look to gain the upper hand in the competitive world of gaming.

While there are limited details out there at the moment in terms what we can expect to see, snippets of information have started to leak into the online world as gamers look to heighten their excitement levels.

Microsoft and Sony seem to relish the head to head competition every time they release a major new console, and 2020 will be no different.

Currently titled 'Project Scarlett' on Microsoft's side, they used this year's E3 conference to announce and showcase initial details for their future system, now aptly named among online communities as 'Xbox 2'.

Xbox has always held the edge over the PlayStation in certain aspects, and Microsoft will be looking for 2020 to be the year that they obliterate their main competition.

One of the biggest things confirmed for the new Xbox and something which puts it ahead of it's rival at the moment is backwards compatibility.

While both consoles will feature it in some form, Xbox have already confirmed that players will be able to go back in time to play titles from Xbox One, the 360 and the original Xbox.

This is a huge piece of news for those who love their now 'retro' Xbox games, and is perfect for those who might be new to the system and want to get a feel for the original titles which made Microsoft's system such a powerhouse.

The PS5 has confirmed it will at least have backwards compatibility with PS4 games, but seems to be lagging firmly behind Xbox.

It remains to be seen whether Sony will commit more development time to this aspect of its console, but it's risky move to allow Microsoft such an advantage.
