PS5 Pro video reveals shocking downgrade compared to Xbox Series X

Kaneb0

A new PS5 Pro video has shocked some PlayStation fans after it revealed a downgrade compared to the Xbox Series X. The Xbox Series X was released back in 2020, alongside the PS5 as its competitor. This month, Sony released the PS5 Pro as a major upgrade on the PS5, so it should be a major upgrade on the Xbox Series X. And in most ways, in a big and glaring way, it isn’t.

Where the PS5 Pro costs PlayStation fans $700, the Xbox Series X can often be found for just $400. A $300 price difference is a huge difference, and to that end, you’d expect the PS5 Pro to do everything better than the Xbox Series X. However, it doesn’t. As one new video reveals, while the PS5 Pro may have improved loading times, the time it takes to boot up the console is actually longer. Much longer, actually.

Where the Xbox Series X takes about 14 seconds to boot up when the power button is activated, the PS5 Pro takes about twice as long. In other words, it takes about 28 seconds from the time the power button is activated until the console hands over input.

14 seconds might not seem like a consequential difference, but it adds up. Even if the console is only turned on once a day, those 14 seconds add up quickly. More specifically, it adds up to nearly two hours over the course of all 365 days of the year. For some, this number will be much lower, but for others who use their console even more often than once a day, it could be much more.

It is worth pointing out that there may be advantages to a longer boot time. It’s possible that the PS5 UI and OS perform better once loaded because the system spends more time loading it and prioritizes stability over initial boot speed. But even though the PS5 Ui and OS are a bit sharper compared to the Xbox Series X, the difference is not very noticeable. Furthermore, it is not entirely clear that this has anything to do with the start times. Either way, it doesn’t look good for your fancy new premium console to do worse than a console that’s $200 to $300 cheaper and four years older than it. This is especially a bad look when it’s the competitor’s console.

At the time of publication, PlayStation has not commented on the PS5 Pro’s boot time or offered any insight into why it’s taking so long to get up and running. If this changes, we will update the story accordingly.
