This means that Sony’s PlayStation 5 may have an install base roughly three times larger than Microsoft’s Xbox duo. Despite creating a lower-priced model (Xbox Series S), this strategy did not significantly boost sales. In the most recent profitable quarter for Xbox hardware, sales decreased by 22% year-over-year.

Fortunately, KeplerL2 notes that the Xbox Series S and X are now sold at a profit, unlike Sony’s PlayStation 5. While the PS5 briefly became even or profitable before component prices increased, causing losses again, only the PS5 Pro is currently profitable. The Xbox Series X saw a die shrink and price increases, making it more profitable now.
