The previous generation of Xbox performed poorly, and bad decisions made at the beginning of the Xbox One seem to have buried the current one. Despite Microsoft’s efforts to create a lower-cost, weaker model Gamers aren’t showing much interest in the Xbox Series X/S. As a result, consoles lag far behind competitors in terms of units sold.
The American company stopped reporting units sold during the Xbox One outage. However, in the summer, from an internal presentation, we learned about 21 million. Now Take-Two data has helped us. The publisher of Grand Theft Auto announced that by the end of 2023, ninth-generation consoles will be sold worldwide 77 million. Sony reported 50 million PlayStation 5 units as of December 9, 2023. Millions more PS5s are sure to be sold by the end of the month. This means that the Xbox Series X/S has about 24 million.
Previous assumptions and hints are confirmed. The difference continues to widen on the PS5 side. In addition, according to unofficial data, the Xbox Series X/S is selling slightly worse than the Xbox One. Apparently the discounts during the Christmas period didn’t help either. This should force Microsoft to take an unexpected step: start publishing games on PlayStation 5. There has been a lot of speculation about this in recent days. An update on the future of Xbox is expected next week. This was promised by Phil Spencer himself, the head of Microsoft’s gaming division.
According to Take-Two, in 2023, approximately 3.4 billion people played games and 88 billion mobile games were downloaded.
