According
to
a
reliable
analyst,
Sony
managed
to
ship
5x
more
PS5s
than
Microsoft
managed
to
ship
Xbox
Series
S/X
consoles
last
quarter.

Daniel
Ahmad,
Director
of
Research
and
Insights
at
Niko
Partners,
tweeted
to
say
this
his
firm’s
estimates
are
that
the
the
PS5
is
beating
Xbox
Series
S/X
by
a
ration
of
5:1
for
the
last
quarter.

5.
The
PlayStation
5
shipped
4.5
million
units
in
the
last
quarter.
According
to
our
estimates,
this
is
almost
5x
more
than
the
Xbox
Series
X|S
shipped
in
the
same
period.

(This
is
a
bonus
one
for
the

due)

During
its
latest
financial
report,
PlayStation
revealed
that
it
had
managed
to
ship
4.5m
consoles
in
the
last
quarter,
bringing
the
total
PS5
consoles
shipped
to
59.3m.

As
for
Microsoft,
they
stopped
reporting
console
sales
years,
presumably
because
they
weren’t
impressive.
But
they
did
recently
say
that
hardware
revenue
had
dropped
31%
during
the
last
quarter.

Later,
Daniel
would
add
more
context,
saying
that
the
5:1
ratio
was
for
the
last
quarter
only
and
that
lifetime
sales
are
closer
to
a
2:1
ration
in
favour
of
PS5.

Since
we
know
the
PS5
has
shipped
nearly
60m
units,
that
means
we
can
get
a
very
rough
estimate
of
30m
for
Xbox
Series
S
and
X.

The
Xbox
One
managed
to
sell
an
estimated
58
million
in
its
lifetime,
but
we
don’t
have
much
solid
data
to
go
by
as
Microsoft
stopped
announcing
console
numbers
a
year
or
two
after
the
Xbox
One
launched.
