Xbox had been declining YoY for the majority of months last year. It's easy to nitpick certain regions/months to make it seem that Xbox wasn't in decline, but overall it clearly was. And I already explained that this February's decline, in the UK/EU especially, can be attributed to Hogwarts Legacy, 2023's biggest game. Another factor is Helldivers 2 and to a smaller extent FF7Rebirth putting the spotlight on Playstation. |
That is if we look at buyers as random NPCs that just go into the store and buy whatever is "in the spotlight" at the moment, but that is not how humans work. Most people buying a PS5 today are people upgrading from PS4, and most people buying Xbox Series today are people upgrading from Xbox One; and somehow I'm having a hard time picturing an Xbox One owner thinking "Oh, Helldiver and FF7 are in the spotlight right now, let me go with PS5 this time around" No, but I can totally see an X1 owner thinking "Hmm.. seems like Microsoft is going to port all their games to PS5 eventually, maybe it will be better to get a PS5 and I will be able to play all the games there"
Btw, funny how you think that Microsoft putting their games on PC hurt Xbox's sales so bad, but somehow putting them on Playstation is not going to hurt it.
