According to the latest analysis, the sales of the PlayStation 5 in 2023 were nearly three times higher than the Xbox Series X/S. Sony clearly outperforms Microsoft in this regard.
Although Microsoft does not provide official sales data, it is estimated that Xbox has surpassed the milestone of 25 million units sold, which is a result twice as worse compared to the PS5. However, the data for the year 2023 is even more unfavorable for Xbox.
Ameper Analysis firm’s analysis shows that in 2023, the PlayStation 5 outclassed the Xbox Series X/S in terms of sales, reaching 22.5 million users. This is an impressive 65% increase compared to 2022.
At the same time, the Xbox Series X/S sold only 7.6 million units. This means that the PS5 sold three times better than its competitor.
There are several reasons for the success of PlayStation. The main factor is the exclusive games such as Spider-Man 2 and God of War: Ragnarok, which are only available on Sony consoles. Microsoft does not have such high-profile productions in its portfolio, and Starfield, which was a highly anticipated title, turned out to be average.
User familiarity also plays a significant role. Many people choose to purchase the PS5 because they previously owned a PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 3 and appreciate the quality of the Japanese manufacturer’s consoles. Sony hopes that the PlayStation 5 will eventually surpass the PlayStation 4 in terms of sales, which achieved an impressive result of 117.4 million units sold.
