In a surprising bit of news it looks like the Xbox consoles actually outsold the PS5 in the UK despite a decent restock for the PlayStation console in the month. While it still mostly comes down to supply constraints currently facing the new consoles, it does show that Microsoft’s current plan is working early on.

  1. well when so many people are writing on Facebook that thier ps5's are crashing before and after updates, you can safely assume even more people who read that are going to buy a series X or S ""logic"" 🤷

  2. Honestly I'm not that impressed with the PS5 at this point. It's been a mess of a roll out, not just the sales(scalpers, initial roll out, limited quantities etc.) but the features, updates or lack-thereof. IMO the PS5 is still riding off the wave of success the PS4 achieved, that's why it is in such high demand, those 100+ Million PS4 gamers want to retain all their gaming history and investments. There is substantial room for improvement. I loved gaming on my PS4 and the exclusives were really good but I won't discount the efforts Microsoft is putting forth and it is starting to show. Ultimately competition between them, means the consumer wins.

  3. Gamepass has only the games I want thats why I love xbox so much and with Microsoft rewards gamepass ultimate is always free for me I don't pay shit for tons of games to play.

  4. People also don't understand, that just because the PlayStation "had" exclusives in the 7th Generation of consoles, does not mean that you as the consumer were not paying a crap ton, just for those said exclusives to have, via the PS4's console's library settings etc etc. You can say that the PlayStation 5 is going to do just as great again, but to you PlayStation Fan Boys, I say this: "Hardware, Software, and overall pricing for games sales count a crap ton more this time around." The overall price range, and Games options (i.e. Games Pass being better than the PSnow subscription option) means a bit more to many gamers out there, who are not meaning to spend yet again, a crap ton of money. It all adds up, when you think about how much you're spending on DLCs, and other in game items etc, etc. I think that Microsoft is going to do just phenomenally in earnings, & in console sales this time around. You need to hand it to the team over at Xbox, for creating such an adverse, yet towering like console that would draw people's attention span into buying it. The form of it, draws people in, & that is something to be said.

  5. PS5 is my first PS and I don't feel I missed anything. I'll take tomb raider over uncharted and spiderman is boring.
    The UI is not good either. I know a lot of people must stick with PS as they grew up with it.

  6. Did this video have a Playstation sponsorship attached to it?! What a patronising, shallow minded viewpoint. Sony only won last time round because they conquered outside of America. With their ridiculous $90 games in the UK etc, this news is not surprising and will likely only continue to swell once the Sony early adopters are done. I think things will be looking very different by the end of the year.

  7. Man… for you to say in an unlimited conditions, the ps5 would outsell the Xbox handily, shows you are a little biased and gamer privileged you are. Gamers like us have both… but you discounting just how good gamepass is for people who just can’t buy games like we can but have a few bucks to get a system foe their kids. Until Sony does something like gamepass… expect to see more Microsoft leading sales.

  8. Most people that claim the pre ordered theirs more than likely bought it from a scalper,. People would be able to get the next gen consoles right now if people wasn't giving in to scalpers. Good luck getting one Christmas of 2021.

  9. At this stage most people wanted a PS5 but have given up and settled for a series X you can get a series x on Facebook marketplace for pretty much retail price as for the PS5 the demand is crazy and prices are still high I think sales at this point is just about who can actually get more consoles out on market will sell more

  10. Xbox series s has been available in Pal regions and it's why the xbox would have taken January I can go to most stores in Australia and get an xbox series s at the moment, but still waiting until the series x is available.

  11. Not really a conclusive check as there’s been no stock of either and the few orders of ps5 in the uk were preorders for February and they went before the public got to them . So saying somebody bought an Xbox in January means they sold more than the ps5

  12. The funny thing is, in Iran you can buy xbox series x pretty easy and almost for its real price. But ps5 would be somewhere around 1000 dollars! Yet no one buys xbox here!!!

  13. Console wars aside, Xbox is better than PS5….Lower price digital model, many ways to expand storage, cleaner backwards compatibility, more powerful, doesn’t have $70 games, gamepass, etc It should be selling better than PS5 everywhere but people have been brainwashed to worship the Playstation brand at this point.

  14. Have to get a ps5 to easily get sony exclusives, anyone with a decent pc can get free versions of all the xbox stuff, unless microsoft forsakes windows os gamers, xbox will never have literal exclusives. But no system is "better" they all suck compared to pc rigs running 2 rtx 3090's.

  15. At this point you can hate on MS but reality is if your not onboard because of brand loyalty your missing out, it's a great place to be for a daily driver.
