In case you hadn't heard, this past week was an exciting one for gamers everywhere with the official launch of both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/Series S. The long-awaited debut of Sony and Microsoft's new consoles is well worth celebrating, and now that the systems are finally out, it's time to ask: what do we think so far?

Following the launch of the next-gen consoles, the DualShockers team gathered to share our thoughts on what we think (so far) of Sony and Microsoft's new hardware in our latest DualShockers Discussion. This time around, we have a trifecta of the DS staff giving their impressions of the new consoles with Mario Rivera (Video Manager), Ryan Meitzler (Features Editor), and Joel Taveras (Co-Founder).

You can check out the full DualShockers Discussion video below:

Overall, in the nearly hour-long video we go through our first impressions of both the PS5 and Xbox Series X from our first weekend with the systems. We go over what we like and don't like about the systems, some of the games that dove into over the launch weekend, what we're hoping to see from the consoles in the future, and much more, so dive in and join us in our conversation on what awaits for Sony and Microsoft.

For more on the next-gen consoles, you can read our full review on the Xbox Series X right now from Logan Moore (Managing Editor), who had the system ahead of its launch last week. We also have reviews coming later this month for both the PS5 and the Xbox Series S, so stay tuned for our official verdicts on those systems once we have some more time to fully assess what they both have to offer.

The Xbox Series X/Series S are both available now worldwide, and the PS5 is available now in select countries ahead of its worldwide release on November 19, 2020.
