Microsoft and Sony are both trying to outdo each other by having their own versions. Xbox One and PS5 both offer a large selection of games, but which sells better? This article will detail both consoles. But, what's more important is the question of which consoles will win the next generation? A gaming console is only as good its games.
PlayStation 5
Famitsu in Japan, which tracks the sales of gaming hardware, claims that the PlayStation5 has sold more units then the Xbox360. The number is closer to 10.3 million, however. This is the best March for a console since over a decade. Microsoft sold more consoles than any other current-generation console in the first quarter of 2022. The Nintendo Switch is poised to surpass the Xbox 360 as world's most popular handheld console by 2022.
Xbox Series X
During the first quarter 2022, the Xbox Series X/S sold more consoles that the Playstation 5/Playstation 4 combined. According to NPD Group's monthly sales tracking, Microsoft sold more Xbox consoles in March 2022, than it did any month since 2011. In the first quarter of 2022, Microsoft sold more consoles than Sony, despite struggling to produce enough PS5s.
Xbox One
Famitsu, which tracks gaming hardware sales in Japan, reported that Microsoft's gaming company sold a greater number of Xbox One consoles than its counterpart Playstation during its initial week. According to this publication the PlayStation 5 sold 2,693 units. The Digital Edition (which lacks an optical drive) was 453 of those. The Xbox One sold 6,225 more units than the PlayStation 5 in Japan during its first week. It did this in seven days that started on May 9.
PS5
The PlayStation 5 was released two years ago, on November 3. It already outsold the Xbox 360/X/S. It's the fastest-selling console in Sony history, with more than 10,000,000 sold. But is the PS5 better than its predecessors? Sony has revealed milestones for launch titles including Spider-Man: Miles Morales (6.5 million sold since November), Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (1.1 million), and Returnal (more than 560,000 copies).
Semiconductor shortage
More products are being affected by the global semiconductor shortage. The shortage has impacted the PlayStation 5, a leading example. It sold out almost immediately upon its launch. Despite the fact that it was obvious that there would be a shortage due to high demand for the console, this also meant that it was not affordable for millions of customers. Restocks were also selling quickly, which added to the delay. There is a chance that this chip will be out of stock as soon as the holidays are approaching.
PS5's unique gimmicks
The PlayStation 5's unique gimmicks, special features, and design made it one of 2015's most-sold consoles. Due to a shortage of microchips worldwide, both the PS5 (and Xbox Series X) have been severely affected. As a result, people have devoted careers to tracking the availability of next-gen consoles. Fans must choose between buying pre-owned units or entering a Newegg raffle to win a new console until a stock is available.
Xbox One S
Microsoft has stopped disclosing sales figures of its Xbox consoles. The previous-gen PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 sold more than eight million units between November 2000 and September 30, 2010. The Xbox One S is available now for more than two years and has already outsold the PlayStation 3. Microsoft has yet to release sales figures but a recent analyst estimate suggests that consoles sold to retailers for more than eight million dollars in the first quarter 2022.
Xbox One X
Famitsu reports that the Xbox One X sold more units than the PlayStation 5 in March 2014 according to Japanese publication. This is an incredible feat considering that the PS5 only sold slightly more than 2 million units. The Xbox Series X/S has sold approximately 5.8 million units. While the Xbox One X still hasn't sold as many consoles as the PlayStation 5 yet, it is certain to soon catch up.
