If we compare their American launches with the launches of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, which were also in short supply in 2013, we get the following picture.:

  • The Xbox One cost $ 100 more than the PlayStation 4 and debuted in the US with sales of ~ 900,000 consoles, and attracted ~ 900,000 more players over the next month. End-2013 sales: 1.8 million

Thus, in terms of dynamics, PlayStation 5 lags behind PlayStation 4 by ~ 20 thousand, and Xbox Series X | S lags behind Xbox One by ~ 300 thousand. Phil Spencer previously explained that Microsoft only started assembling Xbox Series consoles at the end of the summer, so it was able to ship less than Sony.

In general, the American market continues to be one of the few where there is no 2: 1 or higher difference between the sales of PlayStation and Xbox consoles, which was formed in the generation of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on the international stage.

According to the latest data, since 2013 in the United States have been sold over 34 million PlayStation 4 consoles and over 29 million Xbox One, that is, the difference between them in the region is only ~ 5 million
