Well microsofts goal is to really fill everyone's home with the Series S.
That's where all the money is at for them. Pretty sure at this point they have sold more Series S then X.

The big daddy console is better sure but we know most of the market will end up using it for it's youtube, prime videos, disney plus and netflix use over time, lol.

So in the end, they are doing everyone a favor

I managed to luck out and get a series x during the height of the shortage directly from Microsoft.

It's a great console, but from people I know, there is at least 2-3 S's for every one X.

Cheaper price for simply scarificing religion makes sense for most people I guess.

I don't know, here you could walk into a store a get an series x/s for over an year now, and ps5 is "available in store" with a waiting time of 2-4 weeks and sometimes in bundles with "extended warranty"

Less desirable. Most exclusives aren't exclusives anymore and x game pass offers better value for console only people

Why is ps5 still embarrassing the xbox when it comes to sales then?

Because the ps5 market is strong throughout the world where the Xbox market is pretty much usa and UK. If this person is in either one of those countries they might know more people with an Xbox.

They’re only ahead by a million and were outsold by Microsoft each of the last 12 months.

Not true at all. Ps5 are 7 million ahead (vgchartz.com)

I see that you didn’t understand what I wrote. While Sony sold more up front, in each of the last 12 months, Xbox has outsold PlayStation. While Sony has sold more in total, they are not actively outselling Xbox. They just sold more off the jump.

And that too is maybe because of the scalpers buying most of the stocks

Xboxes have not suffered from shortages to the levels of PS5 suggesting that yes, PS5 sales numbers are massively inflated by scalpers. Which anyone who has tried to buy one would know.

Speaking strictly from a power and capabilities perspective, the SX is a superior system - so demand is higher.

That's hilarious and wrong. PS5 has sold 10 million more units than the SX.

Also the SX being more powerful means nothing when there's no good games to take advantage of it.

This is the PS5 supply chain finally catching up after the pandemic/scalpers more than anything.

Everybody I know has said the same thing "why would I buy a SX when I can just play game pass on my PC?"
