The new generation consoles from Xbox and PlayStation hit the market during the month of November 2020. However, since then both companies have had problems meeting the demand for consoles that the public has demanded, due to the crisis of semiconductors that has caused the cost of components and the delay in the production of many others.
However, despite this, the new Microsoft consoles have managed to stand out in recent months, and as Satya Nadella has reported (via @BenjiSales) on the Redmond earnings call, Xbox Series X|S are the best-selling next-gen consoles in North America for the third consecutive quarter.

Xbox Series X|S is the best-selling next-gen console in North America for 3 consecutive quarters
After receiving the data that the sales of the console increase year after year in Europe, we have now been able to know that Xbox Series X | S are the best-selling new generation consoles in a market as important as North America. Although it may seem normal, because it is the company’s local market, the truth is that Xbox has been behind Sony on many occasions in the sale of consoles, so it is a fact that demonstrates the change in trend that we are seeing since the arrival of Xbox One X.
Your Xbox Series X will start up even faster very soon
Although the data will also be affected by the lack of stock of PlayStation compared to Xbox consoles, of which we have being able to find stock in the Microsoft Store continuously in recent weeks, the truth is that it is a trend that has been observed in different markets, which certifies the strategy followed by Redmond in recent years.
