Xbox Series X Is Everywhere All Of A Sudden, Unlike PS5
When you go on my Twitter timeline right now, you see a ton of Microsoft's Xbox Series X. People are talking about load times, AI-assisted HDR, performance increases, all that good stuff Microsoft wants in the air before launch. The reasoning is pretty simple, and it's not because the entire conversation shifted overnight to focus exclusively on Microsoft's console over Sony's PS5. It's because Microsoft has been sending people a ton of consoles, and they're talking about them. Pretty straightforward, actually.

Sony, on the other hand, has been much more reserved. We're seeing the first hands-on videos from Japanese Youtubers now, and they're showing off a lot of the same things people are praising with the Xbox Series X. But there's a difference between flooding social media with preview units and a single, limited event, and it's mostly one of scale. By giving out so many consoles, Microsoft ensures it has a prominent place in social media in these weeks before launch.

First PS5 hands-on videos show off hardware and games, but no UI
Sony has invited a number of Japanese publications and YouTubers to get a closer look at the PlayStation 5. It's the first time we've seen the PS5 hardware outside of leaked images from Taiwan's National Communications Commission. A variety of publications have now published detailed hands-on images and videos of the PS5, providing a more realistic look at how big the console is and gameplay of titles like Astro's Playroom and Godfall.

4gamer has published photos of the PS5 standing both vertically and horizontally, demonstrating how the stand works in either position to hold the console in place. Some photos also show how the PS5 will cool itself, and 4gamer notes that it wasn't able to hear the fan inside the console or feel much heat exhausting from it during its limited time with the hardware.
