With the recent news that the PlayStation 5 has become the fastest-selling video game console in history, it got me wondering if the console will truly do better in the long run than the Xbox Series X|S. PS5 vs Xbox Series X strategies seem to be widely differing where the PS5 is focused on console sales, Xbox doesn’t even release those numbers making it difficult to compare. That’s likely by design as Phil Spencer doesn’t release those numbers and instead focuses on players. I dive into what those PS5 sales record numbers really mean when up against the Xbox strategy and I have to wonder if Sony will win the old game (console sales) but Xbox is thinking much bigger picture as we move into a more digital heavy market.
