Although Microsoft’s new generation consoles Series X / S are successful, it is not possible to say the same for Xbox One. Microsoft, which has not reported Xbox One sales figures since 2016, finally acknowledged the superiority of PlayStation 4. According to Microsoft’s statement, the Xbox One sold even less than half of the PS4.

New documents sent by Microsoft to Brazil’s competition authority revealed Xbox One sales. Microsoft, which has stopped talking about its old generation console for years, said that they lag behind PlayStation 4. The exact number is unknown, but we can say that the sales advantage is in the form of PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, respectively.
In the file sent to Brazil, Microsoft stated that they could not catch Sony’s sales. “Sony has surpassed Microsoft in console sales and install base, selling twice as many Xboxes in the last generation (PS4),” he said.
The latest report by Daniel Ahmad, senior analyst at research firm Niko, showed that 117.2 million PS4s have been sold since 2013. With this figure, PlayStation 4 is the fourth best-selling console.
An earlier study showed that the Xbox One has sold more than 51 million copies. The official sales figure of Xbox One is uncertain, but we can say that it is less than 58.5 million according to Microsoft’s statement. Nintendo Switch currently has a sales figure of around 111.08 million.
Still, things seem to be going well for Microsoft on the Xbox Series X/S side. Company CEO Satya Nadella claimed that Microsoft “has been the next-generation console leader in North America for three consecutive quarters.”
