the switch is 299 euro with zero competition.

The PS5 is 499 euro with the X/S opposite.

Framing an Xbox console as competition in Spain comes across as incredibly desperate.

The switch when it came out it had nothing in front of it except ageing consoles like the PS4/XB1.

The PS5 has the S/X in competition.

I note the facts no more and no less.

What's desperate is your damage control in denying the facts.

I have to agree with that :)

There is no way the Xbox Series X|S took any sales away from Sony in Spain (and probably in the rest of Europe too). 
I would love to see this happen, but there are not there yet.

The Switch just killed it, let's just face it.

Also, da fuck is a Desktop Console? Did I miss a memo or something?

Do you truly believe that XSX|S sales are stronger today than PS4 sales were in 2017?

Whether sales are strong or weak, this does not change the fact that the PS5 is not launched alone on this market unlike the switch at the time.

Massive sales as expected, same for the difference between Xbox and PS5. Also expected that It would turn into a Nintendo thread Very fast.

Both consoles sold out in Australia too. Many people complained about missing out on both.

Now if the XBOX X/S is selling like shit here due to running out of stock, there Microsoft need to step up their game and produce more consoles. Their ability to supply is what may just hinder them this gen if Sony can continue to out produce them 3 to 1.

From what I've heard, Xbox production was delayed because they had to wait until late summer to get their chipsets from AMD, whereas Sony got their chipsets faster it seems. So Sony had like a 2 month headstart on manufacturing. That seems to have really hurt MS, their worldwide launch week was only around half of PS5's worldwide launch, even though Xbox Series is selling out in almost all of the 40 launch markets; they simply don't have anywhere near enough stock to meet demand. They definitely need to ramp up production asap, as things currently stand MS is suggesting that Xbox Series could be selling out until March or April, which would seem to indicate that they only have the ability to manufacture maybe a few hundred thousand units per month currently. They really need to get more production lines open for Xbox Series asap, Xbox One sold 1.5m in December 2013,  it will look bad for MS if Xbox Series doesn't top that December number by a decrnt margin, even if it doesn't top it due to low supply rather than low demand. 

From what we heard in VGC Sony didn't finish their design until August because the console was catching fire on manufacturing.

X1 didn't had problems tô manufacture, was sold out until Holiday and still was selling less than PS4 because Sony was probably more confident in the demand.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Anyone believe that they could be stockpilling for 1 year without a single leak and only making 2.5M?

I wonder what the first seller smoked... I'll post a quick translation of his description just for the laughs:

"Ps5 disc edition. I'm very happy with it, but I need to redecorate my house. I know it's a little over the actual price, but if someone can buy it, it will be their best acquisition and I'd be very happy."

If it works, it works, I guess.

"I need to redecorate my house". I died reading this.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
