The first showdown between the PS5 and Xbox Series X may happen at Tokyo Game Show 2020 on September 24 -- at least according to organizer CESA (Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association).

While the full PS5 and Xbox Series X will likely be revealed by that date, TGS appears to be the first time Sony and Microsoft will be physically together. Since Sony will certainly skip E3, GDC 2020, and PAX East, TGS will be the next big show where the two console giants can share the same arena.

Here are the key parts of the TGS 2020 press release that support the fact that a new platform will be on display:

It is natural to assume that the "next generation of novel game consoles" refers to the only new next-gen console coming this year.

With so many rumors and performance claims being spread by fans on both sides, it will be interesting to see how users react when they actually play both consoles and compare them virtually side-by-side for the first time.

Another focus of the show will be cloud gaming, which will also be very interesting; we know that Google continues to evolve Stadia, and the possibility that both Microsoft and Sony will go even deeper into their respective cloud gaming offerings at TGS The possibility also seems logical.

On the other hand, it is still a great time to pick up a PS4 or Xbox One, as both consoles are on frequent sale before the start of their new generation this fall. From the looks of things, both current consoles will be supported for a long time thanks to the backward compatibility of the Xbox Series X and PS5.
