So yes, the Series S is the only one in stock, so it is selling, but also it does have to appeal to people for it to be purchased. It does not need to be the most wanted console, but at least some appeal for someone to buy it. The points added in the article does show where that appeal is coming from: Halo, Forza, and GamePass. Simply put, if the only reason to buy the Series S is because, "well it is in stock", it would not be selling.
With that being said however, I think declaring a "winner" over sales numbers is silly. I really do not care if my console of choice is the number one is sales, only that it is indeed being sold. As long as it is being sold a good number, games will continue to be made for it. Why should I care which sales the most, unless some sort of bragging right that makes no difference?
- Series S has sold the most this past month. Good for it.
- Demand is still strong for both PS5 and XSX, so if the available numbers were equal across all 3 consoles, good chance Series S would be behind the other two.
- Due to the hold Sony has on gaming culture overall, and how Microsoft's strategy provides their games to the PC market as well, odds are Sony will again be the sales leader this generation.
- It doesn't matter who the sales leader is, as long as the platform of your choice is still getting games made for it.
Celebrate that console are still selling overall folks. Series S is in an interesting position, that is neat to see, but no need to argue over which is better due to sales. Just silly.
