Xbox Series X|S Reaches 12 Million Shipped, Analyst Says

This is great all around for everyone. Really wish Microsoft and Sony could pump out more units to satisfy the demand and grow the industry this generation more than ever before.

Good to see Microsoft doing well, I'm sure as their exclusive IPs start rolling out it will be a healthy ecosystem, like Sony's. I think Microsoft just had a rough launch meaning not much software up until Forza Horizon and Halo release but that's now behind them.

No, but then you have to divide the PS5 in half because half are digital only. Different consoles! Doesn't count!
PS5 digital gives you same expierence as PS5 normal version does XSS gives you same experience as XSX?

Yea,I think things are going to be quite close in sales between Xbox and PlayStation this gen......just going off my own habits,I've been PlayStation only for the last two gens but will certainly be picking up an XSX this gen as well as a PS5 once those big games like Starfield,Avowed and Fable start arriving(if they turn out good of course).

you have to divide X|S sales by two so 12 million / 2 = 6 million for xsx or xss depends which sold more sony sold 13.4 million PS5

13.4 PS5 divided by 6 million xsx or xss is 2.23 times more then xsx or xss consoles.
If you want to get really creative with your maths you missed all those XSX running in Azure for streaming that they sold to customers via the GamePass subs, factor those in too...

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
you skipped math in school aren't you?

No just the part where who cares or why it matters why we need to divide the Series consoles by 2 for any fathomable reason lol.

It's two SKUs of the "Series" console. I don't think MS or anyone gives a shit about which of the two sells more. Just like how Sony doesn't give a shit or report how many of the 100m PS4s were Pro.

yes i enjoyed PS far more then Xbox isn't that allowed? btw i only have PC.
I'm just rustling your jimmies. Yes, it's allowed. But acting like people are actually going to split the two Xbox versions is a hilariously bad take.

Every Nintendo iteration, PS iteration from the PSOne to the PS4 Pro all get counted together. Xbox had the One X last gen too. This isn't controversial.

it's different console that's why you need to divide this isn't rocker science there will be games which you couln't play on XSS but on XSX
An interview with PlayStation executives from Europe and America has revealed that the PlayStation 4 Pro accounts for about 20 percent of PS4 systems currently being sold.
so 20% of 116.6 million is 23.32 millions PS4 Pro consoles sold google is your friend. ;)

If you're going to misquote an article from 2017, at least give a source for it.

That's an article that came out shortly after the Pro released where they were touting that they are infact selling Pro consoles.

Sony does not differentiate how many of the PS4s were Pro in their annual/quarterly reports where they list total console sales.

You're choosing a strange hill to die on here, friend. No one divides or counts different SKUs of a console of the same generation as a separate thing.

Not Sony, not Nintendo, not MS.

Report me if I continue to console war
Maybe not but they are behind and will continue to be behind but that's not really an issue for Microsoft as it is for Sony. Sony have all their balls in one court, Microsoft have many balls in many court's, I'm not sure if this is a good analogy but there it is.

Yes, theres a good chance Xbox could have more overall current gen players over console, cloud and PC.

Which is the most important metric, beside overall profit.

misquote?
where did i misquote?
i doubt that from 100+ millions 20% have drastically changed. maybe by couple %
Did we see Sony splitting PS4 and PS4 Pro sales? No, because they play the same games. You seriously need to get a grip, you're embarrassing yourself.
you already made clown of yourself like 20 times, can you guarantee that all future games that will be on XSX also be on XSS? i'm not sure about that.

You're misquoting when you use a 4+ year old article in the wrong context.

Again, that article was written just a few weeks/months after the Pro released and a Sony marketing exec was telling that yes we're selling these Pro consoles.

Now you find me in any of the Sony fiscal reports from the last couple of years where Sony differentiate the sales of base PS4 and Pro.

I'll wait.

I think the Series S helps boost the sales, believed we have a thread on Series S sales last month?
I'm not sure i believe that, at least not at this point. I think if all those S's were just more Series Xs, they'd still be sold out.

The rare times you ever see unsold Xbox Series consoles, it's always the S models. The X goes first, despite the price difference.

Yes I can.

How many PS4 Pro games are not on PS4?
How many Xbox One X games are not on Xbox One?

You see the pattern, you're hurt and trolling hard I get it, but please stop now it's embarrassing.
that's your problem if your embarrassed i can help you with that:
  • Breathe deeply and slowly. Taking slow, deep breaths can help relax the body enough to slow down or stop blushing. ...
  • Smile. ...
  • Cool off. ...
  • Make sure you're hydrated. ...
  • Think of something funny. ...
  • Acknowledge the blushing. ...
  • Avoid blushing triggers. ...
  • Wear makeup.
when did pro came out compared to PS4? and xonex even came out even later compared to xone there's whole generation ahead.
 
No it's not, healthy competition. Neck and neck like the PS3/360 years. (at least the first couple of them).

Series S doing exactly what it was designed to do.
Neck and neck? Didn't PS5 surpass this number mid last year? There's the second half of 2021 including holiday that hasn't been factored in.

It may not be the 2.5 to 1 split we got used to, but it doesn't appear to be THAT close.

It would be easier if you just stopped posting rubbish.

Why does it matter when they came out, the inferior hardware was supported regardless.

Also what publisher is going to produce a game that doesn't hit about half the userbase? That's the stupidest thing I've seen today and you've posted a few.
