Since launching in November, the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 have become highly sought-after items that are sold out everywhere. Ironically, this hasn’t equated to record-breaking sales for either company. Research Director Piers Harding-Rolls of Ampere Analysis has published a report showing how next-gen console sales have matched the previous launches.
Xbox Series X|S sales (2.8 million) almost match the Xbox One (2.9 million), while the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 both sold 4.2 million units. Supply constraints have been a factor, but Sony expects to reach close to 8 million sales by the end of March.
