Microsoft has been withholding sales figures for its Xbox hardware for a while now, while Sony has been consistently revealing sales numbers for the PS5. However, in the recent earnings call by Take-Two Interactive, a major game publisher across all platforms, the company revealed that the combined sales of Gen 9 consoles (Xbox Series + PS5) have reached a staggering 77 million units, counting until the end of 2023.
Now, if we subtract the confirmed sales figure of 50 million units for the PS5, disclosed in December 2023, we can estimate that Xbox Series has sold around 27 million units. In simpler terms, the sales ratio between the PS5 and Xbox Series stands at roughly 2:1. These numbers may not come as a surprise to industry analysts, as they had already predicted sales at this level.
It is worth mentioning that the only time Microsoft showcased hardware sales figures was during a game developer conference in Brazil in mid-2023, where they stated that the Xbox Series had sold 21 million units.
TLDR: Take-Two Interactive revealed that the combined sales of Xbox Series and PS5 have reached 77 million units, with the PS5 outselling the Xbox Series at a ratio of 2:1. Microsoft had previously disclosed a sales figure of 21 million units for the Xbox Series.
