Microsoft and Sony want to stay ahead of one another, each offering their own version of the console. The Xbox One and PS5 each offer a wide selection of games. Which console is more popular? This article will go into detail about both consoles. But, what's more important is the question of which consoles will win the next generation? A gaming console is only good if it has the right games.
PlayStation 5
Famitsu Japan, a Japanese publication, calculates that the PlayStation5 is more popular than the Xbox360. The number is closer to 10.3 million, however. This is the best March for a console since over a decade. Microsoft sold more consoles than any other current-generation console in the first quarter of 2022. The Nintendo Switch is on track to beat the Xbox 360 as the most popular handheld console in the world by 2022.
Xbox Series X
During the first quarter 2022, the Xbox Series X/S sold more consoles that the Playstation 5/Playstation 4 combined. According to NPD Group's monthly sales tracking, Microsoft sold more Xbox consoles in March 2022, than it did any month since 2011. In the first quarter of 2022, Microsoft sold more consoles than Sony, despite struggling to produce enough PS5s.
Xbox One
Famitsu, an Japanese publication that tracks hardware sales, reports that Microsoft's gaming company sold more Xbox One consoles in its first week than its competitor Playstation. According to this publication, the PlayStation 5 sold 2,693 units. Only 453 units were Digital Editions, which do not include an optical drive. The Xbox One sold 6,225 more units than the PlayStation 5 in Japan during its first week. It did this in seven days that started on May 9.
PS5
The PlayStation 5 was released two years ago, on November 3. It already outsold the Xbox 360/X/S. It has sold more than 10,000,000 consoles to date and is now the fastest selling console in Sony History. The PS5 is more popular than its predecessor. Sony has revealed milestones for launch titles including Spider-Man: Miles Morales (6.5 million sold since November), Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (1.1 million), and Returnal (more than 560,000 copies).
Semiconductor shortage
More products are affected by the worldwide semiconductor shortage. The PlayStation 5 is one prime example of a product in danger. It sold out almost immediately upon its launch. While the shortage was a foregone conclusion due to high demand, it also made the console out of reach for millions of customers. Restocks sold quickly, further causing delays. This type of chip could be in short supply as the holidays approach.
PS5's unique gimmicks
The PlayStation 5's unique gimmicks and special features made it one of the best-selling consoles of 2015. The PS5 and Xbox Series X were severely disrupted by a global shortage of microchips. People have dedicated their careers tracking down the availability of next generation consoles. Until a restock is announced, fans are forced to settle for pre-owned units or enter a shuffle draw on Newegg.
Xbox One
Microsoft has stopped disclosing figures for Xbox console sales. Between November 2000 to September 30, 2010, more than eight millions units of the previous-gen Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 were sold. The Xbox One S has been on the market for more than two decades and already surpasses the sales of the PlayStation 3 in terms of units sold. Microsoft has not made public sales figures. But, according to an analyst estimate, the consoles sold to retailers for eight million dollars in quarter one of 2022.
Xbox One X
According to Japanese publication Famitsu, the Xbox One X sold more consoles than the PlayStation 5 in March 2014. This is huge considering the PS5 has sold less than 2,000,000 units. The Xbox Series X/S however, has already sold over 5.8million units. The Xbox One X may not have yet sold more consoles than its predecessor, but it is on track to do so.

How many controllers do I need?
Many people believe they need multiple controllers in order to play their favorite games. They believe that if one accessory isn't available, the player won't be able to fully enjoy their game.
