That's impressive due to lack of stock and scalpers.

TheGreatGazoo301989d ago

That's impressive considering I don't believe Sony has reported sales number and Microsoft doesn't. Even if we had those Xbox/PS should be called "number manufactured" since they'll both be selling every single system they make instantly u til mid 2021

Darthpaul841988d ago

I’d imagine with the demand being what it is and covid 19 showing no signs of going away the series x and ps5 will continue to be in high demand. If Xbox can launch halo and PlayStation can put out god of war in the fall of 2021 I wouldn’t be shocked to see the scalper situation still going strong.

roadkillers1989d ago

First couple months only show how much a company is able to ship rather than the demand. They are out of stock and sold out everywhere in initial including the Switch (which is generally sold out at a lot of stores because of the production impact of COVID)

If you want to know abouy how much demand is left, check out the second place markets. Xbox Series have been selling for about $650-$800, Playstation 5's around $800-$1000, and Switches sell for about $300. Playstation has the most demand moving forward. I think Xbox Series will be sold for retail within the next month while Playstation may be until April or May.

The demand for both next Gen consoles is through the roof. Switch launched in the spring. No Holiday or pandemic to drive sales. Switch outsold Both next gen console in November. Because you could actually buy one! https://www.google.com/amp/...

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing38d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit38d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing38d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9238d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
