- Start date
The thread title needs to be updated to adress that this is best console launch ever in France.
Geez, that Switch chart for 2020
Do we know the total shipment numbers worldwide of the PS5 and XSX? I'm assuming MS shipped more to the US, but with how much the PS5 is outselling it in every region, I'm wondering if it's just more popular than the XSX or just had significantly more units shipped overall

Weren't all of those supply constrained though? The hypothetical potential sales seems like it could be applied to all of them
2:1 long run in the US? Nah.
Even with disastrous Xbox One they did better against PS4 in the US. XSS and XSX are much better products than X1 was.
Microsoft said they waited till RDNA 2 and on all the Series X the production date has like july or even august on them of this year
Why 2:1 in USA when last gen was very close? That would be around 360 levels of mindshare, europe is very much possible to be that if not more unless something changes.
It's now clear as day that Sony faced no significant manufacturing setbacks. Still the market is starved for PS5.
Very nice, also those are good numbers for the Switch too with its launch.
I guess since people said they waited until the last second for the full RDNA 2 feature set for their hardware.
There seems to be a pattern, where Sony is shipping around 10-20% more stock to each country (US, UK, Spain and France). With 200k units to Japan on top of that, PS5s worldwide launch must be a lot bigger than PS4's.
Xbox Series worldwide sales probably very slightly above X1 launch, with more regions covered, but with similar or less units per country.
No? Consoles are always supply constrain does not change the PS5 is breaking records.
Wait... Didn't microsoft say they set new record at launch in France/Germany/UK ?
Yeah, like I said in another thread, worldwide Sony will already have a healthy lead.
The bigger the gap gets the harder it will be for Xbox to catch up.

Xbox doesn't have to "catch up" to be successful.
Their business model isn't dependent about console sales anymore.
Found old article with extra numbers:
PS3: 78k (100k launch shipment)
X360: 49k
PS2: 63k
The article has weird numbers for Wii though (75k)
What? They release their games day 1 on PC too. They have Game Pass for PC. They have game streaming service for mobile, which is also coming to select smart TVs and iOS at a later date. They have 23 1st party studios now when at Xbox One launch seven yrs ago they had 7. They have openly talked about how they want to expand their reach beyond platform walls.
Their business model is bigger and wider than ever before in whole Xbox history. Dooming and glooming around Xbox gets ridiculous here.
As soon as Xbox launches on smart TVs, console sales will be meaningless to them.
I think it's great that Sony and Nintendo saw such success with selling their latest consoles, but from now on really the only metric for Microsoft is how good the games are.
That escalated quickly. Meant no offence.
It's just that nothing in this industry is for certain.
MS certainly made some moves. We'll see if people take to them.
Well, a few years back when MS announced that all first party games would launch at the same time on Xbox and PC people said, that Xbox would be dead and that it wouldn't make any sense to buy an Xbox. More than half of this forum said that. That's why I have to smile when I see threads like this.
Yep some people still don't get it. It's not about Xbox it's about Gamepass.
Console sales will probably be meaningless to everyone in a few years when separate console boxes go dodo. I think MS is heading there faster but with wider reach than Nintendo or Sony.
The low stock narrative is not going well. Another disaster for the usual suspects.
Yeah some people don't realise that hardware numbers isn't the main objective for Microsoft.
It's getting people tied into their services. The Xbox hardware is a Trojan horse for them.
Microsoft would rather have a constant stream of revenue from gamepass than what for many is a fixed sum for hardware every 5 years (longer in most cases).
They don't care whether you're playing on PC, Xbox or Xcloud as long as you're subscribed.
It's more important for Sony, hence why they limit the availability of their key software. If Sony's main objective was to have people in their ecosystem in the same way they could have PsNow available on more platforms, and that includes their games on day one, plus release every game on PC.
Before hardware goes completely we'll have digital only consoles. Streaming only consoles is nowhere near ready. I'd say 10 years minimum before that happens.
But the next-gen of consoles will be digital only in my opinion. Games on discs won't be a thing for the latest consoles.
A few years ago it was phones that were going to kill consoles. Now it's integration into other tech.
Consoles aren't going anywhere.
How would the numbers have been better if every console they made have been sold?
They could have gotten a lot more since PS5 demand is just crazy. Pre orders don't even last 5min in Europe.
Not really, worse then XBOne.
