Reports Confirm PS5 Sales Outperform Xbox Series X by a Huge Margin
In the context of tracking the details that emerge from several international websites specialized in monitoring data and statistics about sales numbers, the audience was truly waiting and anticipating the reveal of the first numbers related to the global sales of the new generation consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. The beginning was with Microsoft, which confirmed that its devices had the best launch in Xbox history, and that all versions were sold out without discussing any detailed numbers, confirming that they prefer not to disclose the numbers even if they are leading the global sales.
But on the Sony side, the company confirmed that the PlayStation 5 achieved the best launch in the history of home gaming consoles under the PlayStation brand, surpassing what was recorded by the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 2 specifically, without providing any numerical data, only confirming that all shipments available at the launch date of the device worldwide on November 19 have been sold out.
And this is what the Vgchartz team went back to talk about in detail when they indicated through reports coming from them that the PlayStation 5 indeed outperformed in sales compared to the Xbox Series X, with Sony’s home console selling about 2.5 million units, more than 1.5 million of which were sold in the US markets alone, compared to 1.5 million units for the Xbox Series X. Such numbers are still speculated by the source based on data, awaiting the official statements from the company itself in the upcoming days.
However, what is interesting once again is what was presented by various media outlets in Spain, announcing that the PlayStation 5 registered the best launch in PlayStation console history in the Iberian Peninsula territories, where sales were as follows as can be seen below, confirming that the platform is experiencing a very high demand from the public, which made Sony reassure everyone that the second and largest batch of the device will be available in the coming weeks of December.
On the other hand, Microsoft confirmed that the new batches of the Xbox Series X will not be available until March 2021, while Sony expects to sell more than 7.5 million units of the PlayStation 5 before March 2021, meaning that the device will be available in very large quantities, which will largely eliminate scalpers in the coming weeks.
