Reply to comment by ISpitSaliva in Why is the PS5 all the sudden easier to find in stock at stores than a Series X? by Kelefane41

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

I stand corrected then. Sony has more of their shit together than MS

No you don’t.

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.
