However, of the two, it looks as though Sony is continuing where it left off with the last generation by selling double the number of next-gen consoles compared to its rival. As VGC reports, the latest sales analysis carried out by Ampere Analysis reveals that during Q1 this year, Microsoft sold 1.31 million Xbox Series X and Series S consoles. Sony on the other hand, more than doubled that with 2.83 million PS5 consoles sold. If accurate, it will be disappointing for Microsoft, which has placed a much bigger focus on subscription gaming for this generation, as well as having a performance advantage (on paper at least).
