It is well known that sales of Microsoft’s hardware Xbox Series X|S are not doing well, but the company has never officially disclosed actual sales figures (a leak in 2023 indicated 21 million units sold). Analysts in the gaming industry agree that the sales ratio of Xbox Series to PS5 is around 1:2, but we have never had concrete numbers to confirm this.
Recent information from other companies’ financial reports gives us a better idea of Xbox Series sales.
AMD stated that current console sales have surpassed 100 million units (up to Q4 2024).
Take-Two reported that Gen 9 hardware manufacturers have sold around 94 million units (numbers up to November 2024).
If we subtract the latest PS5 sales figure of 65.5 million units (up to Q3 2024) from the total, we can estimate Xbox Series X|S sales at around 30-35 million units.
