The console wars are as old as consoles themselves. Now with the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:next generation of Xbox and PlayStation consoles on the horizon, the rivalry between Microsoft and Sony fans is hotting up and so are the memes. The upcoming generation of consoles is more powerful than ever before. They are also more memeable, thanks in part to their 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:interesting designs.
Since the first announcements, both the Xbox Series X/S and the PS5 have been proviꦡding gamers with meme-worthy content. While we're glad the space stati🌳on toilet design didn't make the final cut, the finished products are still hilarious as these Xbox Series X Vs PS5 memes show.
10 Sony Lo🐷ve Their Audio 🥃
When the♋ consoles were first being unveiled earlier this year the differences were stark. While Mic🌜rosoft presented us with images of the Xbox Series X early on, Sony decided to talk about ears, a lot.
We should have realized when we were told that the epic PS5 event would be 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:two hours long and that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:wearing headphones would allow viewers to get the most out of the "cool audio work." While it's great that Sony wants to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:"enhance the sensory experience" we were really ju🅷st looking for reassurance that the console didn't actually look like a toilet seat.
9 𓄧 The Xbox Bin ♔Series
Memes about the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series X's appearance are common but there are some that specifically used it to poke fun at the PS5. He🅷re we can see the console compared to a wastebasket with the trash bag added for extra eꩵffect.
This meme could have gone either way with a comment about the Series X✱ being garbage inside but instead, the meme maker declared the "trash can" a suitable place to house a PS5.
8 𒀰 A Table For The P🍷S5
Not to be outdone by the Xbox Bin, this meme prefers to see the Xbox as a high tech table. The image adds a nice glass tabletop to Microsoft's console and declares it a suitable place to store a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PS5, the "console king."
While the idea is great, we're not sure that a short glass table is the wisest of storage places for Sony's console, alt🏅hough it's✤ at least more practical than housing it in a small trash can.
7 Toaster, Wifi Router Or Fridge😼?
The latest consoles from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft all have designs that are easy to make fun of. While our 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:ice cream sandwich theory may not have held up, the common com🤡parisons are perfectly shown above.
The PS5 router is a solid meme but it's the Xbox Series X fridge that has really taken off. Not only did 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Aaron Greenburg make a joke about it in the Series X presentation, but Microsoft has also made an actual Xbox fridge. Snoop Dogg was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:gifted one for his birthday, and gamers have also been given 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the chance to win one.
6 ඣ 🔯 Sim City Consoles
Game reviewer chose to go retro with his comparison, using Sim City buildings to highlight the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:differences between the consoles. We can see the sturdy but dull black of🍷fice building representing the Xbox Series X, while the PS5 is represented by the futuristic-looking white buildings that are found later in the game.
We're not entirely sure if the comparison is supposed to imply that the Xbox is a dull but reliable building with sturdy foundations, while the PS5 is a modern but sl🌄ightly terrifying-looking alternative, but we love the comparison regardless.
5 ꦍ That Controller's Wearing A Spaghetti Strap Top
Taking a break from comparisons of the consoles themselves, this meme focuses on the PS5 controller✅. The math shows us that if you take an Xbox Series S controller and add a spaghetti strap top you'll get the PS5 controller.
There are also s๊uggestions that the PS5 controller is wearing a sports b🍸ra but these are currently unconfirmed.
4 𝔉 I Love My Brick 🍎
This meme may be lost on some gamers due to its image being taken from cult UK show Father Ted, but the sentiment is universal. The image is of Fathe🌊r Jack who has a brick that he keeps with him at all times. He often says "I love my brick" and here the phrase is used to describe Xbox fans.
Traditionally Xbox designs have 🌼always been chunkier and more brick-like than their PlayStation equivalents and this generation widꦑens that gap since the Series X is actually brick-shaped.
3 🐈 Consoles As Cars
Here we can see the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:next generation of consoles compared to cars. The PS5 appears as a s✱uper slick BMW sports car, while the Xbox Series X is༒ a chunky 4-wheel drive all-terrain Mercedes.
You can read a lot into this meme, depending on which side of the debate you fall on. Is the Xbox reliable and versatile, rather than expensive and frivolous? Is the PS5 a des🐭irable joy, while the Xbox is simply a workhorse? You decide.
2 🅠 Spongebob Xbox Vs Yu-Gi-Oh!-PS5
In another comparison meme, animated shows are used to🎀 portray the new consoles. The Xbox Series X sees itself as Spongebob Squarepants, with a little adjustment. Everyone's favo✤rite Krabby Patty chef has his unique shape replicated in Microsoft's design.
Meanwhile, Sony's PS5 is put up against Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonist Seto Kaiba. The antiꦍ-hero is the CEO of KaibaCorp, a large multi-national gaming co☂nglomerate. Make of that what you will.
1 🔴 Perfectly Balanced
This final meme shows a poll regarding the different gaming options. The choices are Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and "PC 2." Each option has 33% exactly, showing a perfect split between PS5 fans, Xbox lovers, and PC enthus💃iasts. As Thanos himself says this poll shows everything perfectly balanced. While there will always be friendly rivalry this poll shows that there is room for all in the console wars.
Of course, it may also show that Microsoft is winning, since we're pre👍tty certain many of those players eagerly awaiting "PC2" are running Windows on their gaming machines. One thing we do know is that if the consoles are as good as the memes the next generation is going to be a good one.
