It has been a year since the PS5 and Xbox Series X and Series S first released and still supply is struggling to keep up with demand. Every time there is word of a restock, whether online or in-store, the stock instantly sells out, and shelves are left bare. Getting your hands on the hottest consoles is certainly a challenge, but on StockX you can easily find the exact system you are hunting for regardless of if you are looking to upgrade your own setup or give the gift that continues to be at the top of most people’s wish lists. It doesn’t matter if you’re team Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo, we have the perfect system for you.
Sony PlayStation 5 PS5 Blu-ray Edition Console
The Sony PlayStation 5 Blu-ray Edition is the single most popular cultural artifact of the past 12 months with over 125,000 units sold on StockX alone. This is in no way surprising either as the console helped to usher in the newest generation of gaming and entertainment with a sleek design and features that include 4K compatibility. The PS5 was easily the most sought-after gift of the holidays a year ago, and with demand still high, it is setting itself to hold on to that title this year. Pick yours up today so you can play all of the biggest games including Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Demon’s Souls, NBA 2K, or Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
Microsoft Xbox Series X
Everyone is entitled to their opinion when it comes to their gaming system preference, so if you are in an Xbox household we think that is just dandy. Much like its Sony counterpart, the Xbox Series X offers a 4K gaming experience with frame rates up to 120 FPS. And with its 1 TB of SSD space, the Xbox Series X is one of the best consoles for speeding through load screens so that you can get right into the action of the game without annoying delays. If you have had your eye on upgrading to a Series X now is the time to do it so that you can get to playing all of the highly-anticipated Xbox exclusives coming out soon like Halo Infinite and The Elder Scrolls 6. If this version of the Xbox is a little cheap for your blood, you could always check out the collaborative Gucci edition.
Microsoft Xbox Series S
If you have been wanting to enter the next generation of gaming, but the price tag has been holding you back then the Microsoft Xbox Series S might be the best console for you. The Series S packs a lot of punch in its small frame as it has most of the same specs as the Series X, but removes the disc drive allowing for its smaller stature. With 512 GB of storage space, the Series S is a wonderful way to get plugged in with digital versions of all the top titles.
Nintendo Switch (OLED)
Truly a console for everyone, the Nintendo Switch (OLED) provides an amazing experience for gamers of all levels and allows you the ability to play some of the greatest gaming franchises ever created. The Nintendo Switch (OLED) was by far the biggest console to release in 2021. The console offers significant upgrades to the original Switch by increasing the size of its display to 7 inches and new onboarded speakers to improve the overall audio quality. With recent releases like Mario Party Superstars, and Metroid Dread, the Nintendo Switch (OLED) is the best console for enjoying the nostalgic roots of modern gaming, and you can do it on the go!
Nintendo Switch Lite Pokémon Dialga & Palkia Edition
The world has changed drastically over the last year and a half. With so many no longer required to head into an office five days a week, many find themselves with the freedom to travel when they want. For those living a life on the move, the Nintendo Switch Lite is the best console for easy transportation. Measuring in at just over 8 inches in length and with built-in controllers, the Nintendo Switch Lite can easily be stored in most bags without worrying about losing any crucial parts. The special edition Nintendo Switch Lite Pokémon Dialga & Palkia Edition even adds in special touches for Pokémon trainers as it features stenciled designs of the two Legendary Pokémon. You can really show the world you are ready to catch ‘em all while you are playing Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl.
