PlayStation and Nintendo dominate sales
Even though the Microsoft owned brand has gained a foothold in the online popularity department, it hasn’t properly translated to sales. Both the PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch has comfortably outsold the next-generation consoles from Xbox. The Switch released in 2017, and it might soon reach the 100 million sales mark. The PlayStation 5 recently surpassed the 13.4 million mark. However, the Xbox Series X|S console has just passed the 8 million mark in October 2021. The Green side has lagged a lot behind its competitors, even though it has some stellar features like Xbox Game Pass and many more.
