Here’s How The New Xbox Prices Compare To PS5 & Nintendo Switch 2

With both the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S facing price hikes globally, the choice to purchase one has become a bit more difficult – after all, the PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 present appealing alternatives as well.

We’ve conducted a quick comparison of how Xbox measures up against Sony and Nintendo’s latest offerings, and the findings are quite intriguing. The Xbox Series S continues to be the most affordable entry into next-gen gaming, but the Switch 2 is now not far behind, while the Xbox Series X is, in some areas, priced higher than the PS5.

Below is a comparison of prices for Xbox Series, PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2 across four key regions:

Naturally, we have a preference for the Xbox Series X and S as the premier options for experiencing current-gen gaming despite the recent price increases. Nevertheless, with Xbox continuing to launch more first-party titles on other platforms, we understand why some might argue that acquiring a PS5 is a considerable choice for enjoying certain Xbox games.

Xbox Game Pass stands out as a significant advantage for Xbox, particularly given that some first-party games will soon be priced at $80. While you may spend slightly less on a PS5 compared to an Xbox Series X, or get a new Switch 2 for just a bit more than an Xbox Series S, if you aim to enjoy any Xbox first-party games on those consoles, it could become costly – unless waiting for substantial discounts fits your plans.
