Xbox Series S|X Rides the Popularity Wave to Close the Gap to the PlayStation 5 in Lifetime Sales

The PS5 vs. Xbox sales battle has been going on since its initial release. Both Sony and Microsoft have been trying to conquer the markets with their next-gen products. But one of them has always lagged as the other has major control over the markets.

Sony has always outperformed Microsoft, thanks to their massive fan base created over the years. Despite Microsoft launching the Xbox Series X two days prior to the PS5 release, their arch-rivals have managed to consistently rule over the markets. To mention dates, Xbox Series X/S was launched on November 10th, 2020 while the PS5 hit the markets on November 12th. The consoles were initially launched in the U. S and then moved to the global markets.
