Gaming PS5 vs Xbox Series S|X
- Thread starter afrocentricity
- Start date
Consoles must be close to the point it isn't worth scalpers getting them anymore?
don't think so? Demand is still insane for the PS5.
The XBox lads are incredibly cringe...
The lack of self awareness after only being able to say "you've no games" for 12 months
Should we pull your Dualsense posts up?The lack of self awareness after only being able to say "you've no games" for 12 months
It's the only sense you've gotShould we pull your Dualsense posts up?
Fight me
You'd cry at my ability to deliver a snakebite/headlock combo.
Both consoles doing well.
Odd to see the CEO of Microsoft talking about sales when it’s something they’re not bothered about eh @Alock1
The most remarkable thing about that tweet for me is that the Xbox One outsold the 360 in the same timeframe. I remember the 360 as a console that did really well early on in the gen, and at a time when it basically didn't have any competition either. The Xbox One was a PR disaster at launch and had to deal with the PS4, how on earth did it outsell the 360? Sure, increasing market and all, but I'm still surprised at that.
Yeah they don't care at all
Xbox 360 was supply constrained. Not as bad as the Series X but it was. Xbox One obviously benefitted early from a ton of loyal customers but didn't have a long tail as it lost share back to PlayStation and wasn't able to attract newcomers.
The early sales don't mean much. Xbox and PS are both selling all the stock they have. It's longer term that'll be telling.
I didn't realize. I bought one pretty early on, like a couple months after launch (so within the timeframe in question here) and it was widely available. It was the only next-gen console available at the time and, being a Playstation gamer, I thought I'd hold out for the PS3, but when the Oblivion trailers hit I just couldn't resist.
I imagine there must've been many like me.Imagine paying £450 to ship 10m hardware units in the first 8 months
Sorry, a bit late to the party here and not a question aimed at me but thought I'd give my two pence. I thought he was an online bully who took that type of behaviour to other online forums. Just a seriously lost and unhappy individual.
Damnnnn! By the time MS get around to releasing their heavy hitters Sony will probably be out of sight. What's the issue XBox struggling with chip shortages or just...?
From my attempt at trying to get the series X for a friend, i can tell you that Sony are producing way more stock in Europe, the series X is like gold dust and it isn't due to insane demand.
Fair enough. Ouch...
Just watched a Gamepass ad during a PSVR YouTube channel. Gotta give to them they are pushing it. Will pick it up at some point. Don't want an XBox yet.
It’s crazy how much you guys value these sales figures that mean absolutely nothing. But when that’s all you’ve got left that’s all you’ve got left
Yet you lot value gamepass subscriber numbers…..
Who does?
They mean you have an idiot hardcore following, yes. See yourselves for proof.
No one else takes this as seriously as you guys.
It's actually amazing really, considering how often people talk of things going wrong and not having anything to play in your thread. Very similar to Brexit tribalism - nothing actually good but fiercely arguing your case constantly, often with untruths and exaggerations.
Yeah sales mean absolutely nothing
Au contraire. Have you seen the proliferation of superhero movies recently? High sales translates to atrophy as companies desperately seek to ring out water from the popularity of existing trends.
I'd much sooner be on the side of the company experimenting with their products, providing dizzying value as they desperately seek to get people on board the boat.
And then once the boat is full, I jump off to swim freely in the clear blue waters, adventuring to find my next island paradise.
QED.

Great post. They'll just keep repeating "hurr durr look how many things the big company sold" as if it means anything to anyone other than the Sony finance department.
Well if you like, we can go back to games, and MS lack of...?
Or metacritic scores...?
What about innovative features...?
I'm bored...
You've got people complaining about nothing to play in your own thread mate. Get a grip of reality. Meanwhile we're all here with full hard drives and too much to play.
