Thats a bit worrying. Everyone knew the xbox was never gona beat the ps5. But at least staying ahead of the ps4 is the most healthy scenario. 

Yeah these Xbox Series numbers are seriously concerning for a new console. Can supply issues be entirely to blame, or is demand just that low?

Microsoft had ordered half as many wafers from TSMC as Sony AFAIK, so it makes sense for both consoles to be supply-constrained at about a 2:1 ratio.

lol My mind said Series X and I typed out One. Then since my brain thinks it said Series X, it didn't notice the mistake after I posted. It happens.

Did they order as much as they could though, or did they only order that much because demand was low, is what I meant. Like, if supply wasn't an issue, how much higher would it's sales be?

I think MS knew they wouldn't sell as much as the PS5 regardless of supply. They probably had entire market analysis departments to determine that kind of stuff.

how is the ps5 stil selling when no one has any in stock to begin with??

Does the source of who said there was no stock checked every store that sells PS5 every week? 

I disagree. For the main reason is that the bethesda deal is something that mainly us forum dwellers are aware off. The majority of the market is oblivious of this acquisition. The ps5 will continue to outsell the x1 by a lot untill the games exclusive to xbox from Bethesda arrive. Thats the only way the main market will motice this change. And I don't see any game from bethesda coming exclusively untill 2022. And thats also not gona be all their big hitters but maybe just starfield. I would think most gamers probably will still wait for the other ones on ps5 not realizing that might not happen.

Also by the time any of that happens if the gap in the americas grows to large in favour of the ps5 I don't see any game changing that as the friends of friends snowball effect will keep it ahead.

For those annoyed by the generation arguments and that just want to know how the consoles compare with each other over all time.
