Six years into the generation, the Xbox One vs. PS4 argument still has some fight left in it.

YouTube channel Dealer – Gaming laid out the case in its 2019 breakdown, “5 Reasons You Should Buy Xbox One Instead of PlayStation 4 in 2019 | PS4 vs Xbox 2019.” The video doesn’t dispute that Sony won this console war on the scoreboard — it’s built around five specific reasons a shopper might still walk out of Best Buy with a Microsoft box instead.

• The PS4 family had shipped more than 100 million units worldwide by mid-2019, backed by exclusives like God of War and Spider-Man, giving Sony the clear sales lead entering the console generation’s final stretch.
• Xbox Game Pass offered a rotating library of more than 200 titles that included every Microsoft first-party release — Forza Horizon 4, Sea of Thieves, and the upcoming Gears 5 — on day one, something PlayStation Now didn’t match.
• The Xbox One X’s 6-teraflop GPU outran the PS4 Pro’s 4.2-teraflop chip, and Microsoft’s hardware carried a built-in 4K UHD Blu-ray drive that neither PS4 model offered.

The Game Pass Pitch

The video’s headline argument is subscription value. Xbox Game Pass bundled access to a catalog north of 200 games for a flat monthly fee, and critically, it wasn’t a secondary tier — Microsoft’s own studios shipped their releases straight into the service. Forza Horizon 4 and Sea of Thieves were already there, with Gears 5 lined up to join on launch day rather than arriving as a paid add-on later. Sony’s answer, PlayStation Now, leaned more on streaming older catalog titles than delivering brand-new first-party releases the moment they hit shelves.

Horsepower: Xbox One X vs. PS4 Pro

On raw specs, the video’s case is straightforward math. The Xbox One X’s GPU pushes 6 teraflops of graphical horsepower against the PS4 Pro’s 4.2 teraflops, a gap that showed up in native 4K rendering and frame-rate stability across multiplatform releases. It’s the kind of edge that mattered most to buyers chasing the sharpest possible picture on a 4K television without stepping up to a gaming PC.

Six teraflops against 4.2 — on paper, it isn’t close.

Backward Compatibility Done Natively

Microsoft’s backward compatibility program let owners play hundreds of Xbox 360 and original Xbox discs or digital purchases directly on Xbox One hardware, often with better frame rates and resolution than the games got on their original systems. Sony’s approach for its own legacy library relied more heavily on cloud streaming of older titles rather than native disc-and-download support, which the video frames as a real gap for anyone sitting on a shelf of old game cases.

4K Media, VRR and the Living Room Argument

Beyond gaming specs, the pitch leans on home-theater features standard PS4 and PS4 Pro simply don’t have. The Xbox One X includes a built-in 4K UHD Blu-ray drive, plus support for Variable Refresh Rate (FreeSync/VRR) and Dolby Atmos audio — turning the console into more of an all-in-one media box for buyers who don’t want a separate 4K player under the TV. For anyone comparing the full Xbox One and PS4 hardware lineups side by side, that’s the kind of detail that tips a purchase.

Controllers and Network Value

The final argument covers the stuff you touch every session: cross-platform play support, Xbox Live’s network stability, and customization through the Xbox Design Lab and the Elite Controller. It’s less about specs and more about the day-to-day feel of owning the machine — something that matters as much as any teraflop count once the console is actually sitting under the TV.

None of this erased Sony’s lead — the PS4 was still outselling Xbox One and carrying exclusives Microsoft had no answer for in 2019. But with both companies already teasing their next-generation hardware, the video’s real point was about value for anyone buying into the current generation late: a Game Pass subscription and an Xbox One X, at that stage of the cycle, bought more raw capability and more day-one content per dollar than the PS4 side of the aisle could match.
