Series X/S is actually making the Xbox One look good sales wise.


Also this is before PS5 Pro so PS5 has already outsold Xbox One & One X

Serious chance the Ps5 will outsell two Xbox console generations.

I think it just will. Not even a chance at this point. If they do announce PS5 Pro as well this year. Demand will rise for that. And the PS4 Pro bros will transition to the PS5 as people trade in at a big discount.

Unsurprising. Im sure the Vita outsold the XB1 too. And Virtual Boy.

 

[VolticArchangel]

58 million? Didn't Sony report 59 million sold to customers or was that just shipped units?

Not even close

 

[Kokoloko85]

They will probably overtake PS3&360 by end of next year. Consoles are dead

Shipped. This is VGChartz though, so can safely ignore any numbers they put out.

It's a good thing we now have 2 threads on this irrelevant statistic comparing to a "failed" console. Thanks!

If consoles are dying, they're doing it like Jimmy Carter.

Making a thread with VG Chartz as a source should result in an instant bukkake

As a duck, I don't have to take feedback from a tooth.

This just in, ps5 sold more units than 3D0!
More units than the Atari Jaguar! More units than Nintendo 64 and Gamecube combined!
More units than the Steam Deck, Asus Ally, Msi Claw and Legion Go combined! More units than every vr headset ever sold combined! Hooray! Viva la Sony....
ps, Xbox sucks.

That's really what's happening here with the title, we might as well be honest.

Sell through (sold to consumers) and Shipped (sold to stores) are two different sales metrics, shipped is always going to be a couple of million higher until the console is discontinued and then sell through will eventually be equal to shipped.
