At this point the Series won't manage much more than 40m lifetime while the PS5 can reach 120m if it takes eight years until it gets replaced by the PS6. VGChartz sell-through by the end of May 2025 shows a 2.3:1 ratio in favor of the PS5. Monthly sales for May 2025 show the PS5 winning by more than 5:1. By the end of 2025 we should be looking at an LTD ratio of 2.5:1 already. |
I think it's a lot worse than that if you take into account that the Series S isn't as powerful as PS5 or Series X. Series S competes with Switch and Steam deck IMO. I'll count it in vgchartz's platform totals just to be civil but if 20% of Series' sales are Series S then there's currently under 27 million high-end gamers who prefer Xbox over Sony. So the high-end console market would currently be at 2.8 to 1 in Sony's favor.
I went with saying that things wouldn't change too much because I had a previous thread where I argued that Series S shouldn't be tallied up with Series X. I eventually conceded that it should be, but still think that the high-end console market is a disaster for MS.
