Xbox Series X|S vs Xbox One Sales Comparison in Europe - October 2023 

This monthly series compares the aligned Europe sales of the Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.

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

XSX|S Vs. XOne Europe:

Gap change in latest month: 110,668 - XOne

Gap change over last 12 months: 655,646 - XOne

Total Lead: 88,064 - XOne

Xbox Series X|S Total Sales: 6,771,595

Xbox One Total Sales: 6,859,659

October 2023 is the 36th month the Xbox Series X|S has been available for. In the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the Xbox One when compared to the aligned launch of the Xbox Series X|S by 110,668 units.

In the last 12 months, the Xbox One has outsold the Xbox Series X|S by 0.66 million units. The Xbox Series X|S is currently behind the Xbox One by 88,064 units.

The Xbox Series X|S has sold 6.77 million units in 36 months, while the Xbox One sold 6.86 million units. Month 36 for the Xbox Series X|S is October 2023 and for the Xbox One is October 2016.

The Xbox One crossed 8 million units sold in Europe in month 39, 10 million in month 50, and 12 million in month 62. The Xbox One sold 14.86 million units lifetime in Europe. The Xbox Series X|S is 8.09 million units behind lifetime Xbox One sales in Europe.

Weird that PS5 is so far down from PS4 in Europe.
Guess sending more stock to America came at a price, although it does make sense to prioritise a more contested market.

Xbox by contrast has been neck and neck with its predecessor in Europe, though the current slump puts that at risk.

Yeah, Sony shifted a higher percent of PS5s to the Americas than Europe during the shortages due to having more competition in those regions. 

The Xbox One sold 372K and 629K in November and December 2016 in Europe looking at VGChartz estimates. These match up to November and December 2023 for the Xbox Series X|S. So we shall see how well the Xbox Series X|S sells in November and December.

PS5 vs Xbox Series X|S Sales Comparison in the US - October 2023

This monthly series compares the aligned US sales of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S both launched in November 2020. The Xbox Series X|S launched in the US on November 10, 2020, and the PlayStation 5 on November 12, 2020.

PS5 Vs. XSX|S US:

Gap change in latest month: 131,242 - PS5

Gap change over last 12 months: 3,007,248 - PS5

Total Lead: 4,220,462 - PS5

PlayStation 5 Total Sales: 16,097,948

Xbox Series X|S Total Sales: 11,877,486

October 2023 is the 36th month the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S 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 Xbox Series X|S by 131,242 units.

In the last 12 months, the PlayStation 5 has outsold Xbox Series X|S by 3.01 million units. The PlayStation 5 is currently ahead by 4.22 million units.

The PlayStation 5 has sold 16.10 million units in the US in 36 months, while the Xbox Series X|S sold 11.88 million units. The PlayStation 5 has a 57.5 percent marketshare (+4.0% year-over-year), compared to 42.5 percent for the Xbox Series X|S (-4.0% year-over-year).

The PlayStation 5 is currently 1.26 million units ahead the PlayStation 4 in the US when you align launches, while the Xbox Series X|S is behind the Xbox One by 1.47 million.

Wow, Xbox Series X/S isn't doing too hot in it's own territory compared to the PS5 (as in Microsoft is an American Corporation while Sony is a Japanese Corporation). Is this just because the PS5 has better exclusives, like Spider-Man 2, Final Fantasy 16, God of War: Ragnarok, than the Xbox Series X/S, like Halo Infinite, Starfield? I feel like there are more reasons than just that because the two, Xbox Series X and PS5 have the same specs (in fact Xbox Series X has better specs) with PS5 having better load times. Is it because Sony has been producing movies that give it recognition, so people buy PS5 because they recognize the brand?
Or is it because of a simpler reason like how PS5 is more catchy than Xbox Series X/S, thus it sticks in people more unconsciously indoctrinating people to buy PS5?

I'd say it's multiple things rather than just one. One thing you didn't mention is the Xbox ecosystem is no longer just the console market as they release all their games day 1 on PC and are growing their presence on mobile as well.
