Estimates for H1 from Enpleinjour at Install Base forums:

PS5 : 1.3M
NSW : 0.75M
XBS : 0.15M

This is an almost 1:10 ratio of Xbox to PS. The Nintendo Switch, which is eight years old, is outselling the Xbox 5:1 right now. If you had told me the Switch and Xbox numbers were opposite, that would have made sense.

Right now, this is just proving the recent reports and rumors that Xbox hardware is about to be discontinued in Europe.

I believe that's the first i remember that a market is discontinuing a piece of hardware...

It is not a surprise. What is the advantage of buying an Xbox? The Game lineup has been pretty pathetic, the power difference is NIL, While Microsoft has started to Gimp game pass. There just isn't a whole lot of incentive to buy an xbox right now.

Europe is PC heavy, with Microsoft policy to bring every game to PC and gamepass, Xbox it's pointless here.

Discounts are gone... No price drops plus full price digital games is going to kill the console industry someday.

The meme of Dokter Mccoy from Startrek is fitting here....:"Its dead Jim".

Phil in the IGN interview said console is doing great... granted, he didn't specify which.

Surely new hardware will solve this problem.

 

[Rockman33]

None of those numbers really look that good. Xbox being the worst by a long shot.

 

[TGO]

Removing the reason to buy the console or it's games does that ironically.
