Sony Estimated to Have Sold Twice as Many PS5 Consoles as Xbox Series Globally; XSS Allegedly Outsold XSX Across Several Key Markets


Recent industry data estimates that Sony has told twice as many PlayStation 5 consoles as Microsoft has sold Xbox Series X|S consoles worldwide.

This new data comes from research firm Ampere Analysis. According to a new console insight from the firm, Sony has reportedly sold through roughly 12.8 million PlayStation 5 units (disc and digital models combined) globally as of September, whereas Microsoft is said to have only sold through 6.7 million of its Xbox Series family (Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S combined). During the third quarter of 2021, the research firm estimates that global console sales across Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo reached 9.1 million units, with the Nintendo Switch slightly outselling the PS5 (3.91 million Switch units compared to 3.42 PS5 units).

MS already confirmed that the Series X/S outsold all of their previous consoles. How many Xbox 360 and Xbox One consoles were sold during their first year.

If this is somewhat accurate then

Xbox 360 by the end of 2006 was just under 8 million.

Xbox One by the end of 2014 was just under 11 million.

Those are with Holiday sales included for that year so article may still have some merit since it's only counted to September this year. Missing September - end of December sales figures for 2021.
