The march is behind, and the time has come to see how the consoles are given from the point of view of sales, and we will compare them from 2018. It will be in the fall. 5 yearsWhat was the current generation of consoles, i.e. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/SThe field we will also look at Nintendo SwitchBut it was published in 2017, so it is impossible to talk about the current generation, since its successor will be released only in June of this year.
So how is it? PlayStation 5 sold in March/Marci 1 137 164 pieces and has a total of his account 75.28 million piecesWhat makes her the best console of the current generation.
Nintendo Switch sold 547 216 pieces And it can boast 150.25 million pieces soldBut it has been sold since 2017, so it has more leadership compared to Sony and Microsoft and came out at a time when the current consoles were PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Xbox Series X/S then closes our trio; 263 531 Solded pieces and the total number of items sold are made 32.73 millionThe field but these are only grades, since Microsoft did not say the number for some time. Xbox sales decreased for a long time, as Microsoft emphasizes everything everywhere and does not sleep much on the console. This is considered one of the ways to play games in the Xbox ecosystem, and this is not just a console, but the brand includes mobile phones, television, portable devices and in fact everything where you play Xbox games. We must not forget the subscription to Game Pass, which is an integral part of the Xbox strategy and brand.
Compared to 2018, this is a slight decrease, since in the same period PlayStation 4 in 2018 had less than 200,000 more. The Xbox One even had 328 thousand for the same period.
We still have a comparison with last year. PlayStation 5 had a year ago over the same period by another 141,771, which this year makes a decrease in about one 11 %The Xbox Series X field had another 99,909 27 % decrease compared to the previous year. The worst is the Nintendo switch, where there is even a decline 39 %But from the point of view of the arrival of the new console, this was expected.
The situation with Xbox is interesting in another, since Microsoft introduced a new purely digital version of its Xbox Series X last fall and slowly stopped the production of an older model with mechanics. This is the first period when Microsoft sells mainly a purely digital console, including a weaker Xbox S series. 75 % General sales of Xbox make a digital version. The good news for Microsoft is that although sales are reduced in the long run, in recent years they have been the lowest decrease. This is due to Circana data.
Finally, sales from the beginning of the year. PlayStation 5 is sold from January to March 3.25 million Console, Nintendo Switch 1.63 million Consoles and Xbox Series X/S then 0.73 million console.
Let’s see what numbers will be for the whole year. The new generation is still far away. Sony seems to be aimed at 2027, and Microsoft seems to be too. Firstly, they talked about him about 2026, but later there were more speculations that report about 2027, so we will see when we see a new generation.
