There is a reason why we did not know the number until now

It is in connection with Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard that we finally learn how badly the Xbox One did against the Playstation 4.

Finally admit they were beaten
When these consoles were the current console generation, Microsoft did not want to talk about how much worse their console did, while now in connection with the acquisition they want to appear as small as possible to avoid being labeled as anti-competitive.

 

This time, too, it is the competition authorities in Brazil who reveal what Microsoft said about the previous console generation, which lasted from 2013 to 2016.

 

Sold close to 50 million Xbox Ones
In the document, Microsoft finally acknowledges what the analysts have calculated many times at the time, namely that "Sony beats Microsoft when it comes to the number of consoles sold and the number of users by selling more than twice as many consoles as Xbox in the previous generation."

 

Sony no longer updates Playstation 4 sales, but stopped in March this year: then sales were 117.2 million consoles, which means Microsoft sold less than 58.8 million Xbox Ones. Nintendo has sold 111.08 Switch so far since its launch in March 2017, and will soon beat the PS4 - that's impressive considering the PS4 launched in November 2013.

 

How it is with the Xbox Series X and S is not known as Microsoft does not reveal sales figures, but the analysts at Ampere Analysis say that the PS5 sold 1.6 times more than Microsoft's latest consoles. Microsoft recently stated that the Xbox X and S have been the market leader in the US for the past three quarters in a row.
