The question now is whether this approach will be enough to counter PlayStation’s continued dominance in console sales or if new hardware strategies will emerge to revitalize Xbox’s standing in the gaming landscape. Both models feature a 7-inch 120 Hz Full HD touchscreen with VRR support, contoured Xbox-style grips, and dedicated Xbox buttons for seamless navigation. Both devices run Windows 11 with the new Xbox Full Screen Experience, which streamlines game discovery, cloud streaming, and remote play from your home console.
