PS5 seems to have stocks at a minimum in Europewhich obviously has a very negative impact on sales, which mark a crisis point even compared to the previous months: for the first time, Xbox Series X | S seems to have outgrown PS5 regarding sales a February 2022 even in markets where it has historically lagged behind the Sony console.
There are no precise data yet, but the question is reported by the usual Christopher DringGamesIndustry.biz journalist who deals with market and sales data, who anticipates what will be the information arriving tomorrow on the European video game market.
As reported in the tweet above, i data collected by GSD for February 2022 they should show a drop in PS5 sales, although otherwise it was a month full of high-caliber releases from a software point of view. “Console sales continue to be struggling,” Dring reports, “PS5 stock levels are at such a level that, for the first timemore Xbox Series have been sold than PS5 in tracked European markets. “
In the state we are in at the moment, in terms of production and distribution of consoles, it is clear that sales depend mainly on the ability to produce machines and put them on the market, so the decline of PS5 is probably due to its absence in stores.
On the other hand, the increased presence of the Xbox Series X | S also gives rise to an interesting discussion on the strategy adopted by Microsoft for its next gen consoles. Considering that the Xbox Series S seems to be more present than the other consoles, even the Xbox Series X, it is clear that it is an easier machine to produce also in terms of the collection of materials and assembly.
It is difficult for Microsoft to have been able to predict the situation in which we find ourselves at the moment, given that the crisis was not easily conceivable until a few years ago, but it seems that the bet to build a different model at a reduced cost turned out to be particularly apt. , in this situation.
