January 2024 is the 39th month the Xbox Series X|S has been available for. In the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the Xbox One when compared to the aligned launch of the Xbox Series X|S by 19,746 units.
In the last 12 months, the Xbox One has outsold the Xbox Series X|S by 2.18 million units. The Xbox Series X|S is currently behind the Xbox One by 2.21 million units.
When the PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S first launched all the way back in 2020, console sales were not what either platform manufacturer wanted them to be. The pandemic slowed things down more than ever before, even though in the case of each next-gen console, all the units that were manufactured, sold.
Of course that didn’t last, and soon manufacturing limitations on the consoles were a thing of the past, and sales started to leap forward. For one next-gen console platform, at least.
I can see why Microsoft is putting their games on PlayStation with these numbers
Imagine how many copies of future games like Elder Scrolls VI, Blade, Indiana Jones and more they could sell if they went fully multiplatform.
Sony would probably be selling more if they stopped sending mixed signals about their future. Putting games on PC because you are taking data analytic advice from Microsoft about the future of consoles is folly and has limited their potential sales. Microsoft want Sony and the world to believe that consoles are done as a business so companies like Sony and Nintendo etc can end up serving Microsoft's platform. Remember when it comes to Microsoft "It is us or no one and the three E's" Don't fall for it.

If you're looking for lightning-fast Xbox Series X|S storage expansion, this 2TB Seagate SSD deal is a must.
in the uk this 2tb card on amazon is: £253.16. -
what a shambles. ps5 card which is faster, at same storage, is just a bit more than half the price for a branded corsair/western digital / seagate or way less than half for an unbranded..`!
Microsoft had a niche idea but horrible pricing execution that makes it just so awful.
Like who is going to take their plug n play storage over to their buddy's place to play the latest 80-120GB Game Pass title? No. Sony had the right approach.

A major achievement...Ouch
The result of being able to play your games anywhere on any screen, making your own device obsolete. Just like putting your games on a subscription service day one, only to act surprised the games are not selling, so now have to look outside your own player base that your self groomed to not buy your own products.
