That would be some adjustment. But yeah that was a big typo lol

Xbox Series X|S vs Xbox 360 Sales Comparison - December 2022

This monthly series compares the aligned worldwide sales of the Xbox Series X|S and Xbox 360.

The Xbox Series X|S launched in November 2020, while the Xbox 360 launched in November 2005 in North America and December 2005 in Europe and Japan. This does mean the holiday periods for the two consoles do lineup.

XSX|S Vs. X360 Worldwide:

Gap change in latest month: 400,857 - X360

Gap change over last 12 months: 1,386,663 - XSX|S

Total Lead 4,468,522 - XSX|S

Xbox Series X|S Total Sales: 20,361,136

Xbox 360 Total Sales: 15,892,614

December 2022 is the 26th month the Xbox Series X|S has been available for. In the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the Xbox 360 when compared to the aligned launch of the Xbox Series X|S by 0.40 million units.

In the last 12 months, the Xbox Series X|S has grown its lead over the Xbox 360 by 1.39 million units. The Xbox Series X|S is currently ahead by 4.47 million units.

The Xbox Series X|S has sold 20.36 million units in 26 months, while the Xbox 360 sold 15.89 million units. Month 26 for the Xbox Series X|S is December 2022 and for the Xbox 360 is December 2007.

The Xbox 360 did not reach current Xbox Series X|S sales until month 35 where it had sold 21.03 million units.

The Xbox 360 crossed 20 million units sold in month 34, 30 million in month 43, and 40 million in month 54. The Xbox 360 sold 85.73 million units lifetime.

360's slow start and long legs make this one less straightforward than it appears; unless something changes dramatically, I do not expect Xbox Series to outsell 360 lifetime.

PS5 vs PS3 Sales Comparison - December 2022

This monthly series compares the aligned worldwide sales of the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 3.

The PlayStation 5 launched in November 2020, while the PlayStation 3 launched in November 2006 in North America and Japan and in March 2007 in Europe. This does mean the holiday periods for the two consoles do lineup.

PS5 Vs. PS3 Worldwide:

Gap change in latest month: 692,370 - PS5

Gap change over last 12 months: 3,024,936 - PS5

Total Lead: 10,838,997 - PS5

PlayStation 5 Total Sales 30,467,671

PlayStation 3 Total Sales: 19,628,674

December 2022 is the 26th month the PlayStation 5 has been available for. In the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the PlayStation 5 when compared to the aligned launch of the PlayStation 3 by 0.69 million units.

In the last 12 months, the PS5 has grown its lead over the PS3 by 3.02 million units. The PlayStation 5 is currently ahead by 10.84 million units.

The PlayStation 5 has sold 30.47 million units in 26 months, while the PlayStation 3 sold 19.63 million units. Month 26 for the PlayStation 5 is December 2022 and for the PlayStation 3 is December 2008.

The PlayStation 3 did not reach current PlayStation 5 sales until month 38 where it had sold 32.89 million units.

The PlayStation 3 crossed 20 million in month 27, 30 million in month 38, and 40 million in month 47. The PlayStation 3 sold 87.4 million units lifetime.

Xbox 360 did have some crazy legs. The Kinect helped boost sales for a couple of holidays. 

Wii aside that generation also took a while to really gain momentum; PS3 also didn't really take off til 2009 and after.

PS5 and Xbox Series X|S vs PS4 and Xbox One Sales Comparison – December 2022

This monthly series compares the combined aligned sales of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S with the combined aligned sales of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S launched in November 2020, while the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One launched in November 2013. This does mean the holiday periods for the two consoles do lineup.

Gap change in latest month: 1,904,628 - PS4 & XOne

Gap change over last 12 months: 3,121,207 - PS4 & XOne

Total Lead: 4,324,237 - PS4 & XOne

Total Combined PS5 and Xbox Series X|S Sales: 50,827,273

Total Combined PS4 and Xbox One Sales: 55,151,510

In December 2022, the gap grew in favor of the combined sales of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One when compared to the aligned launch of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in the last month by 1.90 million units.

In the last 12 months, the PS4 and Xbox One has sold 3.12 million units more than the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are currently behind by 4.32 million units.

The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in their first 26 months sold a combined 50.83 million units, while the PS4 and Xbox One have sold a combined 55.15 million units. Month 26 is December 2022 for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, while for the PS4 and Xbox One it is December 2015.

The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One have sold a combined 168.34 million units after 110 months.

I am confident that PS5 and XS will catch up to PS4 + XBO.
They've been hampered by shortages so far, but in the long run, once supply improves, I expect them the 9th gen to sell more. This gen will probably last longer due to economic circumstances, and both systems seem more desired than their predecessors.

PS5 vs Wii Sales Comparison - December 2022

This monthly series compares the aligned worldwide sales of the PlayStation 5 and Wii.

The PlayStation 5 launched in November 2020, while the Nintendo Wii launched in November 2006. This does mean the holiday periods for the two consoles do lineup.

PS5 Vs. Wii Worldwide:

Gap change in latest month: 2,664,840 - Wii

Gap change over last 12 months: 10,604,359 - Wii

Total Lead: 13,127,457 - Wii

PlayStation 5 Total Sales: 30,467,671

Wii Total Sales: 43,595,128

December 2022 is the 26th month the PlayStation 5 has been available for. In the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the Nintendo Wii when compared to the aligned launch of the PlayStation 5 by 2.66 million units.

In the last 12 months, the Nintendo Wii has outsold the PlayStation 5 by 10.60 million units. The Nintendo Wii is ahead of the PlayStation 5 by 13.13 million units.

The PlayStation 5 has sold 30.47 million units in 26 months, while the Nintendo Wii sold 43.60 million units. Month 26 for the PlayStation 5 is December 2022 and for the Nintendo Wii it is December 2008.

The Nintendo Wii crossed 50 million in month 32, 60 million in month 38, 70 million in month 43, and 80 million in month 50. The Nintendo Wii sold 101.63 million units lifetime.

I agree. Xbox One has already had its peak year as sales would decline from here on out. While I expect Xbox Series X|S sales in 2023 to be better than 2022 with a much stronger first-party lineup of games. And of course PS5 should have a great year as stock has clearly improved a LOT over the last couple of months. So I expect PS5 to start closing the gap with the PS4.
