Xbox Series X / S: According to Microsoft the fastest sold Xbox consoles of all time

With the PlayStation 5 on the one hand and the Xbox Series X / S on the other hand, Sony Interactive Entertainment and Microsoft invited the new console generation in November of last year.

While Sony Interactive Entertainment called sales numbers to the PlayStation 5 at more or less regular intervals, Microsoft decided to give up the publication of appropriate figures a few years ago. A small update for commercial cutting off the Xbox Series X / S called Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella as part of the current quarterly report.

PS5 probably still has the nose front

As in this means, the Xbox Series X / S is the fastest sold Xbox consoles of all time. Accurate numbers named Nadella not. As a comparison, however, we can use the Xbox One, which sold around 5.7 million times over the same period. Thus, the sales figures of the Xbox Series X / S are above this value. Furthermore, it states that the Xbox hardware increased by 172 percent over the past quarter, while sales generated by eleven percent rose.

Whether these numbers are sufficient to provide the playstation 5 forehead, however, may be doubted. Thus, Sony Interactive Entertainment already speaking at the end of the financial year 2020/2021 on March 31, 2021 of 7.8 million dismissed PS5 consoles . According to unconfirmed principal, Sony's console of the new generation could now have sold more than ten million times.

However, the exact sales potential of the new consoles will remain difficult as the lack of semiconductors both in the Xbox Series X / S and the Playstation 5 continues to lead to supply bottlenecks. These, in turn, ensure that new Xbox Series X / S and PlayStation 5 consoles that find the way to trade are outstretched.

Experts and analysts assume that the supply bottlenecks could still exist until 2022 or even. According to its own information, Microsoft and Sony Interactive Entertainment do not go from a short-term solution to the problems.
