The time is just about here to get your shields up regardless of what fanboy camp you represent, as both the Xbox and PlayStation fans are ready for battle. The upcoming release of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 is bringing all the hype in the world.
With AAA games set for release as launch titles, the interest level in this console war might not have been at this level before. In order to further bring it to people’s attention, fans of either consoles have come up with many memes to put the other down. These are all pretty funny no matter what your affiliation might be, so let’s check out 10 hilarious PS5 vs. Xbox Series X memes.
Updated on September 13th, 2020 by Elise Nelson: The next generation’s consoles have been very meme-worthy, providing gamers with some much-needed laughs. Sony took a big step away from their previously very consistent line of simple black PlayStations and instead designed a white and black tower. Although Microsoft has been a bit less consistent over the years, they went with a thick cube aesthetic for the Xbox Series X. We love pitting the rival consoles against each other in funny memes, but in all seriousness, we’re just really glad we have these concrete releases to look forward to.
10 Coffin Dance
Remember the Dancing Pallbearers and their viral Coffin Dance video from earlier this year? People everywhere remixed the song from the famous clip and combined it with their own funny videos. It seems a still shot from the video made it to the gaming community, as someone hilariously edited the pallbearers as PS5’s carrying the Xbox on their shoulders.
Sony’s two-hour PS5 event back in June was a major point in the console’s favor, as it answered a ton of burning questions about the PS5 and made fans even more excited about it. Your move, Xbox Series X.
9 Trash Can
The Xbox Series X is not without its quirks. Its 3-D rectangular shape certainly does not make it very portable, and it may fit a little funky in gaming spaces. Someone, likely a PlayStation fan, took a jab at the design by adding a trash bag to the top and calling it a Trashbox. Maybe Microsoft designed the console in collaboration with Rubbermaid?
8 Copycat
Of course, a brand new console design wouldn’t be complete without a new controller to match. Sony ditched the all-black DualShock (though it came in many funky colors and designs) and introduced the new DualSense. Like the console, the controller boasts a white design with black buttons and handles. Xbox fans couldn’t help but notice that it looks oddly similar to their controllers. Just like in school when students copy each other’s homework but change it up just a little so it’s not obvious.
In addition to the new design, the DualSense features haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, a microphone, and an audio jack for headsets, so all jokes aside, that’s pretty cool.
7 Household Appliance Wars
When the designs of the next-gen consoles were revealed, everyone’s minds seemed to think of two household appliances: a refrigerator and a WiFi router. The small, boxy nature of the Xbox Series X and the vertical disc drive in the bottom left corner really end up making it look like a mini-fridge with a handle. As for the PS5? We aren’t sure why Sony went with an upright model instead of one that lays down, but that really lends itself to the WiFi router vibes. Which appliance — er, console — will win?
6 Hard To Argue Against That
The gaming industry loves having characters take up different outfits, something that fans enjoy quite a bit as well. In this scenario, though, Xbox fans are arguing that the PlayStation kind of took the easy route.
Hilariously, this meme has the Xbox controller put on a tank top to become the PS5’s DualSense. What’s funny is that it actually does seem like a perfect fit, meaning Xbox fans will most definitely use this to poke fun at the PS5 copying their style.
5 So That’s How It Happened
The impact of the DualSense’s design will most definitely be felt until the next Xbox and the PlayStation 6 are revealed, as Xbox fans will hold on to the belief that the controller is a rip-off of their preferred console.
According to this meme, the stealing part was completely literal, and PlayStation actually came barging in to snag the controller. One thing’s for sure, you can’t watch Monsters Inc. without thinking of the PS5 and Xbox Series X battle again.
4 Who Wants Something Cold?
The shape of the Xbox Series X really does make up its own jokes, as its resemblance to a normal box has prompted PS fans to lay in the jokes hard. Here, one person is under the idea that the PS5 reveal will quite literally compete with the Xbox Series X.
According to him, the console will mirror its competitor to the point where it becomes a fridge. Under this logic, the PS5 can easily beat the Xbox Series X because who wouldn’t want a fridge that plays games?
3 The End Is Here
Interestingly, the battle between Xbox and PS fans has been pretty quiet for almost a decade by now. This is mainly due to PS4 absolutely dominating Xbox One in sales. However, Xbox fans believe the third war between the consoles will be different.
For this reason, it’s the Xbox’s controller shown taking the fight to the PS5’s, and so the industry is in for a fresh war between these rivals. Let’s see what happens when Xbox brings a gun to a console fight.
2 No More Laughing
This actually is a pretty valid point, something PS fans will need to begrudgingly accept. Before the DualSense reveal, there’s no doubt most found the Xbox controller humorous. Now, though, there just might not be enough laughs to go around.
While the Dualshock controller looks quite different, the new one’s far too similar for PS fans to have a go at the Xbox controller anymore. In this regard, Xbox fans are considering it a victory now that they can’t be mocked for its design.
1 Shots Fired
This one isn’t going to sit pretty with Xbox fans, although one has to commend the PS camp for coming up with this joke. Here, the Xbox Series X’s design is made fun of, as the creator of this meme infers that the box is supposed to hold up a superior console.
Even funnier is how there’s a glass slab placed above the Xbox Series X before placing the PS5 on it, thereby implying that the latter console shouldn’t even touch its rival directly.
