This week, LPP returns to the Xbox Series which is struggling to keep up with the sales pace of its competitors, La Petite Pelle, here we go.
As reported by the specialized media Tom’s Hardwarethe Xbox Series has sold 21 million copies since its release in November 2020, including 7 million over the entire year 2023. For comparison, Sony sold 22 million PS5s between January and December last year to exceed, in total, the mark of 50 million copies worldwide. In total, the Japanese firm distributes three times more consoles than the American company. The PlayStation made a jump of 65% in sales according to the Financial Times in 2023. Microsoft is now far behind a trend that has been confirmed since 2022, when the company came out of silence to admit that sales of the PS4 had far surpassed those of the Xbox One. A gap that is likely to widen further.
Despite its sales, Microsoft confirms the arrival of other consoles
In the absence of good sales, Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft’s video game subsidiary, along with Sarah Bond, president of Xbox, and Matt Booty, in charge of internal studios, made several announcements concerning the future of the famous console . First of all, we learned that new consoles will arrive with the “biggest technical leap” for transition between two generations. Matt Booty also reassured, saying that hardware will remain at the center of Xbox development. In short, Microsoft is far from being defeated.
