PS5 Sales Are Outpacing PS4 in the U.S., Xbox Series X and S Lags Well Behind Xbox One - IGN
It’s a mixed picture for video game console sales in the United States, with the PlayStation 5 still outpacing its predecessor, the PlayStation 4, but the Xbox Series X and S lagging far behind the Xbox One.
According to the most recent data from Circana, after each platform’s first 52 months in the market, PS5 unit sales exceed PS4’s sales pace by 7%, while Xbox Series X and S combined now trails Xbox One by 19%.
As positive as the picture is for Sony’s console effort in the U.S., especially as it comes without a PS5 price cut, it's yet more depressing news for Microsoft. The Xbox Series consoles have for some time struggled for sales globally, and Microsoft has admitted it lost the so-called console war a long time ago in the face of competition from PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
