Video Games : Why is the PS5 outselling the new Xbox?

Why is the PS5 outselling the new Xbox?

Across European markets in January, PS5 sales are up 202% compared with the year before (when there were big stock shortages). PS5 was the No.1 console last month, Switch falls to No.2 (sales down 11% compared with Jan 2022), while Xbox Series S and X are No.3 (sales down 32%)

The Xbox Series X is more powerful. Game Pass offers a better deal for consumers. Xbox has better games. So why do people keep buying the inferior PS5?

The brand name.

Because real gamers like playstations.

The first one was ok. It was all downhill after that.

Maybe the PS5 games are more to the tastes of the European market.

Myself, I'm getting the XBox Series X as soon as Starfield is released. I'll wait on the PS5 until a must-have exclusive game comes out for it.

And I say this as someone who has been a (primarily) Playstation gamer since the first one. I just hope Microsoft has better manufacturing standards with their new console. Every single XBox I've bought has had mechanical failures over time, something that has never happened with my Playstations.

It's about time that PS5 is outselling that new Xbox. The price of the two is what makes these difference I'm willing to bet on that.
