XBox is doing really well against PS5. In fact, the only place I'd say XBox is doing poorly is Japan (and really PS5 isn't doing that great in Japan either). In fact if you take out Japan's numbers for this week and YTD, this is what it looks like:
2022 Console sales (without Japan)
| This week | YTD | |
| X|S | 140,076 | 1,268,731 |
| PS5 | 129,587 | 970,027 |
XBox is in a very good situation already this generation. Their sales are very close to PS5 overall, and they still have Bethesda and Activision exclusives on the way. Also, I expect PS5's situation in Japan to get worse and worse every year, and that is the main region that keeps its total looking good vs X|S. People say PS5 will outsell X|S, but I don't know about that.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
