News business PS5 is selling twice as well as Xbox series analysts say

We know the PS5 sold 7.8 million units and that Sony is aiming for 14.8 million units by next year. On the Microsoft side, we don’t know how many machines have been sold, even though we are told that they have increased a lot because the manufacturer hasn’t communicated them for several years. So we have to use the analysis firms to get an estimate. This is the case today Ampere analysis, a pretty reputable company, presenting its console sales report for the first quarter of 2021. Between January 1st and March 31st Sony would have sold 2.83 million PS5s while Microsoft would have sold 1.31 million Xbox series.

A difference that indicates that Sony reportedly sells 2.2 times more consoles than Microsoftwhich the leadership with the PS4 would confirm. However, it is very important to remember that the Strategy of the two units is different. Microsoft offers game consoles, but its main focus is on services, which include the Game Pass. Microsoft is no longer trying to sell a lot of machineseven if it is desirable as a large audience to capture on PC, consoles, and mobile devices. For his part, Sony puts its consoles at the heart of its strategy, with a policy of exclusivity and content on its salon machines. For several months there has been a collapse of ps4 salesbut this decline should not lead to misconception. It fell from an extremely high ceiling and demand remains high, according to Ampere.

But both the PS5 and Xbox series have to bow to that Nintendo Switch, which would have sold 5.86 million units between January and March. The hybrid console’s success is well founded and Nintendo can currently count on its component inventories to meet demand. However, this cannot last, as Shuntaro Furukawa has shown that he is quite concerned about how the situation will play out.
