It just hit me the PS5 may outsell the first Xbox, Xbox One and Series together, lmao.
PS5 is not even at half of its lifespan.

The Pro coming out, price decreases (even if it is just one), GTA VI, PS already revealed this is the quiet year as they expect their 1st party studios to make a lot more revenue on the next 2 fiscal years as well.

This is 100% in reach, which is crazy.

Even just outselling the Xbox One and Xbox Series X and S would be incredible. Especially considering the the Series S is basically half the price and they were pretty much giving out games for free.

I don't think it does but even getting close is crazy.

 

[Mozza]

Without the pro.

The Pro will never add mssive numbers, more of a niche core product.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I don't think it does but even getting close is crazy.

The first Xbox and Xbox One are at 82M. That number is something they will surpass later next year, on year 5. PS5 selling 110M isn't that weird, specially considering this gen is lasting longer.

 

[onQ123]

This is just a distraction to hide the fact that PS5 is down 30%

 

[RoboFu]

But also.....

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Down 30% from the quarter when supply finally ramped up.

The console still shipped like 5M units. That's huge for Q1 in any year.

But I had a launch lineup and cared about exclusives

Consider Xbox One is one Microsoft's greatest achievements, just slightly below Windows Phone, Zune and Windows CE operating system for the Dreamcast, I think Sony has a monster product in ther hands. Once they bundle Sea of Thieves and Foamstars this holiday, Microsoft should just pack it up and start supporting Google Stadia.

er .. Xbox 360 sold nearly 80 million units.

Bigger and more telling question. How many units for X & S do you reckon this gen? I reckon they'll be lucky to touch 40m.

If the estimates of it being around 24~26 million at this point are true, probably 45~ by the end, if they do some aggressive price cutting etc, could be more.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Honestly, 58 million is not bad all things considered. I dont think Xbox Series gets to 50.

Series will likely reach 35M max.

 

[Daneel Elijah]

As I said you never know with Xbox leadership, they might do crazy discounts just before announcing next gen. That would push sales, and if 1/3 of the already announced games hit the spot (being good) this might push hardware sales more just before next gen announcements. Again, this is all my thoughts.

On a separate note, isn't gamepass userbase bigger now than xbs console sales? Also, it will be fun guessing what will be the name of the next Xbox console

There is still Xbox One users that did not get a Series console, like Sony still have millions of PS4 users that have yet to upgrade. Xbox next name will be very important because if the rumors of a early next gen are true they will have to choose between have a link with the Series name( like a Series z or ultimate) or abandon it, risking to harm their messaging, having customers dropping the Series consoles hard.

I am not sure about the discounts. We know that they are loosing money since day one. Going even lower for then having a very expensive next gen console will be really weird to see.

Ok, why does this need a thread? We have all seen the numerous other threads stating that PS5 is selling well. And why compare to what people called a "failed console". What's the point to this thread?

 

[ByWatterson]

Yes you did:

Sales-Age - Microsoft Accidentally reveals 21 million Xbox Series S/X and 58 million Xbox one sold.

While not openly, Microsoft has finally revealed global Xbox Series X|S sales figures directly for the first time since launch over 21 million. That actually puts Xbox Series in a good position compared to other Xbox's though they need to pick things up a notch to keep it that way. This also...

It may not get to 40 million sold.

5 million in Q1 for the PS5, is one of the biggest Q1's in console gaming history!!!

For an eyesore like the PS5 that is impressive.

Not that the OG Xbox One looked any better.

 

[DavJay]

Honestly I always thought the One sold about 20+ million. The early day of that console were dark days.

People outside of forums didn't really know any of that darkness.

 

[bender]

That's a year old post and I was surprised then too.

Damn, XBO sold pretty alright by the end.

 

[EverydayBeast]

PS5 is just incredible

 

[nosoynadie22]

Microsoft's senior vice president of Interactive Entertainment Business Yusuf Mehdi has stated that given the broad multimedia focus of Xbox One, there's no reason why it can't shift between 400 million and 1 billion consoles in its lifetime. He said the company is also angling for 100 million Xbox 360 console sales in the next five years.
"We think you can go broader than a game console, that's our aim, and you can go from 400 million to potentially upwards of a billion units. That's how we're thinking of the Xbox opportunity as we go forward."

Funny thing mine is behind the TV so I never see it.



Why would people miss out on great games if you can just hide it?

I think Sony makes the boxes stand out on purpose. Advertising in a living room. Everytime there's a PS5, theres always a convo like "oh you have a PS5?" atleast where Ive been

I mean it shows even more how much of a "failed console the other one is when it's been beaten by another that just passed the halfway point of its lifecycle. The point of this thread is to inform some people that the PS5 has surpassed Xbox One sales, as the title itself states.

This makes a lot of sense actually. While it might be polarizing and keep a small few from buying it, its definately easy to spot vs an xbox.

Here's to many more

I hope you are not permed. I enjoy your bullshit. LOL.

I think you missed my point. Why is the benchmark a supposedly failed console? Why was that picked vs PS4 sales or Xbox Series sales? Why would it matter how it sold vs Xbox One? (current relevance?)

 

[Sorcerer]

Is 1O a difficult number to beat?

 

[Audiophile]

Crazy thing is, PS5 is tracking just shy of PS4 at a considerably higher price and with a more lacklustre lineup..

Shave 50-100 off the slim, launch the Pro, then go into a year with GTAVI, Death Stranding 2 and possibly Ghost Of Tsushima 2 and things should pick up even more.

 

[iHaunter]

i am more surprised that Xbox one sold so many units.

I mean this was after over 7 years.

It's had a good start and a bright future ahead. Don't forget a lot of MS titles to pad the line up and convert a few Xbox stragglers. Another 100M console in the bag. 4/5 ain't bad.
