The PS5 is massively outselling the Xbox Series X and S combined, analyst claims

The PlayStation 5 is dominating sales compared to the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, selling almost five times as many units in the first three months of the year. Industry analyst Daniel Ahmad revealed these findings, showing a significant decline in Microsoft’s console performance. The gap in sales has widened over the past year, with Sony outselling Microsoft by a large margin. Microsoft’s recent closure of studios like Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin may be a result of trying to cut costs due to poor Xbox sales. With competition from a new Nintendo Switch and a potential upgraded PS5 Pro on the horizon, Microsoft’s gaming outlook doesn’t look promising. Microsoft’s plans for an Xbox mobile game store focusing on titles like Candy Crush and Minecraft may tap into the mobile market, but it’s uncertain if this will improve console sales. There is internal debate within Microsoft about the future of Call of Duty on the platform, potentially affecting console sales and revenue. Overall, Microsoft seems to be losing ground in the gaming market as competitors with clearer long-term strategies outshine them.
