Do note that Sony is limiting orders of the PlayStation 5 to only one unit per customer.

Sony is yet to announce by when can customers expect to receive the orders. There’s also no clarity on when the PlayStation 5 Digital edition will go on sale in India, which retails at a price of Rs 39,990. Additionally, the recently announced coloured variants of the DualSense 4 controllers are yet to arrive in India.

On the other hand, Microsoft has put up the Xbox Series S console for sale on Flipkart and Amazon as your read. However, details on the availability of the flagship Xbox Series X are yet to be known. The Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 compete with each other in terms of performance, gaming experience, and most importantly, pricing.

BGR India reviewed both the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, and found both of them to be extremely capable. However, it is the Xbox Series X that edges out slightly with features like Quick Resume, Storage Expansion slot, and Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass subscription services.
