Since its launch in late 2020, both the xbox series x As the Playstation 5 They have suffered from a severe shortage problem. Due to the shortage of micro components and chips caused by the coronavirus pandemic, COVID-19neither Sony neither microsoft They have been able to satisfy the demand that exists in the market for one of these two consoles. Although the PS5 is ahead in sales, it seems that the X-series is catching up. At least in European territories.
We say the above because, according to the firm GSDduring the month of February X|S series, for the first time since its launch, it surpassed the sales of the PS5 in certain European markets. Scarcity obviously has a lot to do with it, but it’s definitely an important milestone for the team at Microsoft.
We’ll have the February European market report for you tomorrow, courtesy of GSD. It was a great month for new games. Console sales continue to struggle. PS5 stock levels meant that, for the first time, more Xbox Series consoles were sold than PS5s (in tracked European markets)

And it is that with this generation, Xbox certainly has put the batteries in terms of software, in addition to generally speaking, the sets X is more powerful than PS5 Not to mention its backwards compatibility features. We will have to wait until the results of March to know if it is that microsoft managed to capitalize on this momentum.
Publisher’s note: It is definitely interesting to know that little by little, Microsoft is already beginning to catch up in terms of hardware sales. It may only be for a month, but this could be the start of a major Xbox streak in Europe, or maybe things will return to normal next month.
