While it may not be a console war anymore, Xbox and PlayStation are still competitors. Now, new numbers have come to light that show PS4 and Xbox One have never really been close.
The PlayStation 4 clearly beats the Xbox One
Traditionally, it’s Microsoft and Sony that face each other in the game console duel, while Nintendo tends to go its own way. A few months ago, the Xbox manufacturer Microsoft however, gives a great advantage. He wants to buy Activision Blizzard for the record-breaking sum of 68 billion US dollars.
However, Microsoft now has to prove to the Brazilian regulatory authorities that this mega deal will not create a monopoly. The tech group is also ready to accept a defeat in the Duel between Xbox One and PlayStation 4 to admit. Accordingly, Sony was able to sell more than twice as many consoles of the last generation, according to Microsoft (source: GameLuster).
God of War is only available on the PlayStation. You can watch the new trailer here:
Nintendo Switch can beat the PS4
Microsoft is still not revealing any exact sales figures. However, it can be deduced from the statement that probably around 50-60 million gamers have bought an Xbox One. After all, Sony has announced that as of March 2022, around 117 million copies of the PlayStation 4 have been sold (source: Daniel Ahmad on Twitter).
The PS4 is with it in second place of the best-selling consoles any times. However, it might not be long before the Nintendo Switch displaces Sony’s console from this rank. The dispute over the purchase of Activision Blizzard has already brought some more interesting information to light. In an attempt to downplay the importance of the publisher’s games, Microsoft has definitely not minced its words.
