The Xbox Series is already the best-selling generation of Xbox

As we all know, the global shortage of semiconductors has greatly affected the video game industry. Low availability of components constrained “flash” sales of consoles within minutes or seconds. And that speaks of online shopping, because finding an Xbox Series X or a PS5 in stores in our country was almost a miracle.

Of course, it had an impact on sales, or so we thought so far. And it is that talking recently with the prestigious The New York Times, boss xbox, Phil Spencer, said the supply chain is “bigger than ever,” and it’s the demand for consoles that far exceeds it. “Supply is in fact as important as ever” (…) It is because demand exceeds supply” spencer said.

According to Spencer, Xbox Series X and Series S are outselling all previous Xbox consoles:

At this point, we’ve sold more of this generation of Xbox – Xbox Series X and S – than any previous Xbox version.

Microsoft, true to its policy, did not provide sales figures as they had decided for a few years. That’s why we can’t talk about official sales figures. However, the senior analyst of the prestigious firm Niko Partners, Daniel Ahmad |, estimated to have sold over 12 million consoles worldwide. This in recent months, since there is talk of 6.7 million units at the end of September 2021 against 13.4 million PS5 units. Below you can see the tweet we are referring to.

Ahmad points to Microsoft’s grand strategy of launching two Xbox consoles in Next-Gen Xbox, and that this has helped offset issues resulting from supply chain shortcomings.

Either way, all Xbox owners should look to the future with hope. We are facing the best selling and most requested generation of Xbox consoles and this will benefit all users. Be sure to read us in the Xbox Zone for more on this and other Microsoft console news.
