PS5 surpasses PS4 despite low sales, but Xbox Series X|S is below Xbox One

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com November 29, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

It is no secret that the current generation of consoles fell into disrepair in various areas, including commercially, since its sales never took off and in the last year only drops have been recorded. Sony and Microsoft have accepted their respective situations, but there are interesting particularities that reflect the reality of each company in terms of their hardware.

Find out: Is the generation doomed? They report a new drop in console sales in the United States

Despite the decline in PS5 sales, the current Sony console outperforms PS4

During a question and answer session at Install BaseMat Piscatella, Circana analyst, revealed data on sales of PS5 and Xbox Series X|S compared to those of PS4 and Xbox One in the same time periods, but of their respective generations.

According to their information, despite the drop in sales experienced by the Sony console, PS5, Its commercial performance 4 years after its launch is 8% above that recorded by the PS4 at the timethis in the North American market. In this generation, Sony insisted that one of its goals was to surpass the sales rate of the PS4 and so far they have achieved it, although not in percentages that suggest that it can surpass it.

PS5 surpasses PS4 sales despite all the difficulties

Xbox Series X|S has fallen so much in sales that it is already below those of Xbox One

Besides, Xbox Series X|S He is in a bad position because Mat Piscatella pointed out that Its sales are 11% below those of the Xbox One in the same period of time in its generation. Unfortunately for the Microsoft console and its fans, the ecosystem and multiplatform strategy, as well as the lack of great video games by Xbox Game Studios, has taken its toll. The hardware sector is the one that gives the negative data in Microsoft’s latest financial reports in its video game section. However, the company maintains its commitment to consoles and one has been confirmed for the next generation.

Currently, Sony opted for the PS5 Pro, a model that was planned even before the standard version. The company considers it a premium system for a niche of enthusiasts, so in theory it should have no problem posting the same sales numbers as the PS4 Pro.

Microsoft maintains its console offering and this holiday season there are more models to choose from, including a digital Xbox Series In both cases, considerable sales increases are not expected and it seems that this generation will not be as long as expected so sooner rather than later we would have news of successor consoles.
