So, it looks like Sony sold ~21.2m PS5s in their fiscal year of 2023 (1st April '23 to 31st March '24).

Comparatively, although Microsoft uses a different fiscal year time frame, the've sold ~7m Xbox Series X|S in the same time.

That's a solid 3:1 ratio. I don't think we have ever seen this before between the two.

PS2 destroyed the Xbox handily, but you seem to have acknowledged that in subsequent posts. 

I'm wondering globally if Xbox 360 outsold the PS3 3:1 or more in a month. PS3 had a rough go for almost 3 years, but Xbox doesn't have the global presence of PlayStation (namely Japan). 

Series X/S were at one point the fastest selling Xbox console in history, and now they're all but guaranteed to sell notably below the Xbox One (and not even touch the 360). Yeah, they're only tracking slightly behind Xbox One right now. But at this point in its life, Xbox One was getting ready to launch Game Pass, the One X and such. Also, Microsoft was not talking about the successor to the Xbox One in a big way, if at all.
