Xbox Series X|S Outsells PS5 Again - Global Hardware Mar 27-Apr 2

[curl-6]

While it is cool to see Xbox performing competitively again, I think some folks are getting ahead of themselves.

Xbox has the upper hand in the short term, but this doesn't mean the tide is turning long term and Playstation is still going to win this generation.

While their first party arsenal has improved by leaps and bounds, I still expect MS to keep putting most Bestheda and Activision games on PS just cos they'd be leaving too much money on the table by not doing so. We're not gonna see, say, Call of Duty become Xbox exclusive.

Meanwhile, Sony has a very strong first party battery themselves, and greater global brand power. Once they're no longer held back by shortages, the sales gap will start to widen again. It will be closer than last gen, but at the end of the day, PS5 will still outsell Series S/X.
