| Topic | PS5 has outsold XBOX Series X|S 2 to 1 |

Another reason is because of just how much console gamers bought a PS4 compared to a xbox one these same gamers wanted to carry over all their PS4 game purchases to the PS5. This mattered a lot at the start of the new console generation since it took a bit for even more native PS5 and series s/x versions of games to show up. Also, free PS5 upgrades to a lot of those PS4 games PS4 owners already owned. Free nioh 2 uograde?....hell yeah I'll take that. Xbox also had a bunch of games with the free next-gen update IIRC, but this is definitely a big reason. Microsoft kind of **** the bed with the XBone launch, and couldn't really recover, so the PS4 absolutely dominated that generation. And since last gen was also the gen where most people and companies started shifting to digital purchases, and both PS5 and Series consoles have backwards compatibility, most people aren't even gonna think about changing consoles this gen. Sort of downstream effects of Xbox losing last gen is basically guaranteeing a loss this gen. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
