After the good launch of the new Xbox I thought that it would be a closer race between PS5 and Xbox Series. The sales of the last weeks suggest that we have a 2:1 ratio in favor of PS5. Sure, everyone struggles with shortages, but I get the feeling that we don't see such a close competition like with PS3/X360, which I have expected.

PS3 was an anomaly, it launched one year after 360, it was too expensive, plus some mistakes was made. Still it managed to beat 360 at the end.

Did you really expected PS5/XS would be the same thing when Sony have now even more exclusive blockbusters than before, launch in the same time, made no mistake and at the same price ?

Microsoft also aquired many new studios, maybe we see the result of this in a few years. I thought that Series S could make the difference because of its cheap price, but it seems that's not the case (at least as long shortages remain). I mean a 2:1 ratio is still better than what we had with PS4/XBO, but Xbox Series needs to be the first choice in the US, but there's a long way to go.
