PS5 Reportedly Outsold Xbox Series X/S By Nearly 3-To-1 This Year

Research outlet Ampere Analysis has told the Financial Times that Sony’s PS5 almost outsold the Xbox Series X/S this year by as much as 3-to-1.

According to the firm, the PS5 saw sales increase by 65% to 22.5 million units in 2023, while Xbox Series X/S sales reportedly fell by 15% to 7.6 million. In addition, Nintendo Switch sales also dropped by 18% to 16.5 million units.

Sony announced earlier today that the PS5 has sold 50 million units worldwide since its launch in December 2020, with the format holder’s flagship console having seen a major spike in sales since the beginning of the year due stock shortages no longer being an issue.
