It is a fact that in this generation of video games things have not gone very well. Microsoft with his Xbox Series X/Sdevices that have not been preferred by gamers due to the lack of some titles that attract attention and also because nothing really stays on the platform, we saw that recently with games like Hi-Fi Rush. This leads us to the fact that hardware sales have been very poor, revealing less than positive records for the multi-million dollar company.
According to reports, console sales Xbox Series X/S have reached 28.3 million units worldwide as of June 2024, which is less than half of the 61.7 million consoles PS5 sold by Sony in the same period. These data, revealed through Aldora Intelligenceshow that Microsoft continues to lag behind in direct competition with its rival.
The comparison between both companies is not new, and the numbers are reminiscent of what happened in the last generation with the PS4 and Xbox One. On that occasion, Sony sold more than twice as many units as Microsoftwith 117 million PS4 compared to 57.9 million Xbox One. Current data seems to indicate that this trend is repeating itself with the PS5 dominating the console market before Xbox Series X/S.
Although those from Redmond had a more competitive performance during the era of the Xbox 360whose sales almost equaled those of the PS3the current outlook continues to favor the Japanese. Factors such as price and popularity appear to influence the continued dominance of PlayStationwhich is even preparing for the launch of the PS5 Pro at the end of 2024.
Despite efforts to strengthen its platform, including the acquisition of Activision Blizzardit seems that the company continues to face a difficult challenge. The trend suggests that Sony could clearly prevail again, unless a significant change occurs in the market, which at this point is no longer easy.
