Hearing how well a console is doing in terms of sales is interesting, so it was disappointing when Microsoft stopped sharing numbers after PlayStation 4 crushed Xbox One in 2015. This has left us analysing reports from third-party publishers and speculating about how Xbox One did and Xbox Series is doing. That's no longer necessary.
In today's Best International Games (BIG) Festival in Brazil, Microsoft announced Xbox Series has sold more than 21 million units. This means it's a bit more than half as many as PlayStation 5. That's not all though.
The presentation also revealed that the Xbox One and Xbox Series combined have sold more than 78 million units, which means we finally know there are approximately 58 million Xbox Ones out there. That's a less than half of the last PlayStation 4 figures we got (117.2 million on the 1st of April 2022).
Still, it's nice to hear Xbox Series continues to do well even if it also explains why Microsoft has put a much bigger focus on streaming and Game Pass, while reiterating PlayStation has already "won the console race".
