PS5 vendió 43.000 unidades en su primera semana en España, Xbox Series X/S 14.000

Ya conocemos las cifras de ventas de las nuevas consolas de Sony y Microsoft en nuestro país, que agotaron todo su stock en su primera semana a la venta.

Today we bring you some very special sales figures from Spain, those of the new Microsoft and Sony consoles, which debuted on November 10 and 19. Xbox Series X/S sold 14,100 units in its first week on sale in our country for both models, and PlayStation 5 43,000 units, also for both the normal and digital models. As you know, both in the case of PS5 and Series X both are completely sold out, so they sold their entire launch stock. A second batch of consoles will arrive for PS5 around December 15, although they are all reserved and cannot be purchased more for now, and for Xbox Series X it's uncertain when there will be more, although more units are expected to arrive in January. Xbox Series S still has units in stores, although at the moment it is also difficult to find.

Yeah, the PSP was really popular here, same with the Vita, it lasted way more than even in most EU countries.

Great results for Sony!

PS5 is sooo supply constrained atm. Crazy digital queues across the board.

PS is so much more popular than Xbox in the majority of Europe. I think the strong affiliation of the PS brand with the European Champions League is a part of this.

Xbox is closer to the PS5 than i expected tbh. Not bad.

Edit:
Seems like they managed to cater to the same 15k die hard Xbox fans with every console release lol.

Spain isnt a market where Sony is gonna push more than the absolutely needed - they have this market more or less on lock, unless something big happens. Xbox being cheaper and stuf like GamePass is gonna help for market like Spain, but in the end the PS loyality is too big. This gen is gonna be mostly Nintendo+Sony again.

These PS5 and Series X numbers simply reflect how many units Sony and MS sent to Spain, because they're all sold out, which is interesting to look at. I wonder how much they could've done if they weren't supply constrained.

As you know, both in the case of PS5 and Series X both are completely sold out, so they sold their entire launch stock. A second batch of consoles will arrive for PS5 around December 15, although they are all reserved and cannot be purchased more for now, and for Xbox Series X it's uncertain when there will be more, although more units are expected to arrive in January.

doesn't this basically mean everything they could push out to market was sold, like were you able to see any of these in stock at launch week anyway?
so doesn't tell much?

VGchartz next-gen worldwide sales estimation (IDK if VGChartz is still reliable though):

PS5 2.1 to 2.5 million units sold.
XSX and XSS 1.1 to 1.4 million units sold.

https://www./article/446429/ps5-sold-an-estimated-21-to-25-million-units-worldwide-on-launch-day/

Edit: it is a banned site... so I think I have my answer about VGChatz being reliable or not :)

Numbers will be interesting when we will get past the soldout phase, now we just know that Sony's stocks for Spain were 3 times bigger than Microsoft's.

Well ps4 was biggest console launch ever worldwide and they have beaten that by 15% in Spain as well as launching in more markets so... what can we say? Not much to glean from this really.

Almost certainly supply constrained in the case of the PS5 DE. My local store (massive retailer) got a ZERO allocation of digital editions. I ended up pre-ordering a disc version despite looking for a DE because that was all that was available. There were plenty of people in the pre-order threads that did the same.

Pretty much as expected, but then again, the supply is limited, so it's hard to judge.

If everything sells out then we can't really extrapolate a whole lot from the data other than "which company is manufacturing more and allocating to that country at a higher rate". It's good to know, but doesn't really tell too much.

Looks like a lot more for PS5 but I assume both are selling as many as they made right now. Spain is in Europe right? I wonder if things are the same everywhere there.

I think the main thing I'm taking away from worldwide launch is that Sony made way more PS5's than Microsoft made Series S/X's.

Demand was obviously much higher for PS5 given its worldwide foothold - but I didn't expect them to make so many of these things before 2021...

Sony knows that they will sell any console that they can produce at this point. So, I think they are pushing the more profitable model right now (Blu-ray version).

If both are sold out then that more says that MS predicted the Xbox was never going to be in as much demand as the PS5 and shipped less. Which is fair enough. Good going for both then, those are healthy enough numbers.

Sounds about right for Spain.

I'm surprised by the (relatively!) good performance of XSS, compared to the PS5DE. I expected either less XSS, or more PS5DE.
But I assume this is also heavily impacted by shortages (it looked like Series S was the only console you could more or less easily buy without a preorder).

I want to see the UK numbers I think PS5 done crazy number's here. Ive heard from my friend that YODEL alone had 60,000 deliveries for PS5 on their own. He's only a warehouse guy though so could be bullshit.

Supplies seem constrained in all regions, it feels like that is going to be an issue in the short term. Sony would be able to sell a ton more units if they had them.

So does Sony have a much bigger overall manufacturing capacity? Or is Microsoft being careful with their stock allocation so there aren't a bunch of launch Xboxes left on shelves for months after launch again?

Looks like MS didn't expect much sales there. Interesting to hear their shipment sold out.

Sony only needs one production line to manufacture both their PS5 SKUs as the only difference in the disk drive, the bottom plate, and the packaging. Proof being that some people who ordered Digital Editions received physical disk units inside their boxes.

Xbox needs to separate production lines for Xbox Series since they differ completely from hardware, box, packaging, and controller (color).

So yes, Sony's manufacturing is much more streamlined.

Not sure what I expected from Spain, but probably a bit more. Clearly not the focus for EU but as it's a pretty decent sized market in Europe I really thought more for PS5 tbh. Xbox probably around the numbers I expected.

Wonder where Sony focused the PS5 shipments in Europe.
