Total Sales and Market Share for Each Year

Microsoft

• Xbox Series X|S
• 1.58 million units sold year-to-date
• Down year-on-year 252,934 units (-13.8%)

Nintendo

• Nintendo Switch
• 3.27 million units sold year-to-date
• Down year-on-year 509,030 units (-13.5%)

Sony

• PlayStation 5
• 6.69 million units sold year-to-date
• Up year-on-year 3,998,645 units (148.4%)
• PlayStation 4
• 0.06 million units sold year-to-date
• Up year-on-year 5,734 (11.3%)

With those PS4 numbers, I am wondering if the 2022 are calculated right. Trunks is there possibility the 2022 may have to be adjusted for the PS4 ? or it's all real ?

We get very little PS4 data so it is a lot of extrapolating to get the worldwide figures. So adjustments are possible depending on the data we get in 2024. PS4 lifetime by the time we stop will be around 117.2M. Yes, I know we are really close to that.

Xbox Series X|S Outsells Original Xbox

Microsoft's latest video game consoles, the Xbox Series X|S, which is part of the ninth generation of video game consoles, has outsold the lifetime sales of the six generation console, the original Xbox, according to VGChartz estimates. 

The Xbox Series X|S has sold an estimated 25.37 million units worldwide through November 2023, while the original Xbox sold 24.65 million units lifetime.

Up next for the Xbox Series X|S is the Atari 2600 with 30.00 million units sold, followed the Nintendo 64 with 32.93 million units sold and the Sega Genesis with 34.06 million units sold.

Breaking down sales by region, the Xbox Series X|S has sold an estimated 13.66 million units in North America, 6.99 million units in Europe, 0.54 million units in Japan, and 4.19 million units in the rest of the world. This compares to the original Xbox, which sold 15.77 million units in North America, 7.17 million units in Europe, 0.47 million units in Japan, and 1.24 million units in the rest of the world.

Breaking down Xbox Series X|S sales in Europe, the console has sold an estimated 2.35 million units in the UK, 1.03 million units in Germany, and 0.92 million units in France.

The Xbox Series X|S launched worldwide in November 2020.

While it did worse in the US than expected worldwide PS5 did amazing still and will end the year strongly and should take the lead over the PS4 slightly. Switch was down massively but that's alright since the successor should be next year though Xbox is looking dire. Outselling the Xbox One is suddenly looking a lot less likely than before.

I think Starfield bring a total non-event in terms of game quality was a detrimental blow for Xbox. The hype was absolutely there and if they delivered something on Zelda/BG3 level I think Xbox sales might have exploded this holiday. But instead, Xbox once again finds itself without a true killer app exclusive for well over a decade now. Definitely feels like a major turning point for Series where it could have been closer to a 360 era but not might not even match One.
