November 2023 is the 37th month the Xbox Series X|S has been available for. In the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the Xbox 360 when compared to the aligned launch of the Xbox Series X|S by 0.69 million units.
In the last 12 months, the Xbox 360 has caught up to the Xbox Series X|S by 2.81 million units. The Xbox Series X|S is currently ahead by 1.63 million units.
When the PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S first launched all the way back in 2020, console sales were not what either platform manufacturer wanted them to be. The pandemic slowed things down more than ever before, even though in the case of each next-gen console, all the units that were manufactured, sold.
Of course that didn’t last, and soon manufacturing limitations on the consoles were a thing of the past, and sales started to leap forward. For one next-gen console platform, at least.
I can see why Microsoft is putting their games on PlayStation with these numbers
Imagine how many copies of future games like Elder Scrolls VI, Blade, Indiana Jones and more they could sell if they went fully multiplatform.
while I see your point, i'm one of those people that dont really want to see a M$ logo, when I boot up, however good the game is, unless truly exceptional, I've got enough games from Sony and enough coming down the pipeline, plus the 2 free smaller games on ps+, why do I need to give Microsoft anymore money,
I usually play just GT7 and cod, you've got Gran Theft Auto coming, its over for microsoft, they shot themselves in the foot, and now have to hobble away, to the losers corner, sit there, and repent.,!!! hahaha
@Purple101 At this point, Microsoft just wants to be the American Tencent, but also just happen to have a console available for those who want it.
I hate what they're doing to the industry, but I would play the next Elder Scrolls on PS5 or PS6 even if I had to look at a MS logo at the beginning. At this point, I'm just invested in the series. I didn't feel this way about Starfield, which is why I've skipped it. Worst case scenario, I'd pick Elder Scrolls up on PC if it didn't come to PS, but I've stayed true to my word - I have not, and will not buy another Microsoft console after 3 red ringed 360s. They've killed my console support for life. They showed how scummy they can be by knowingly rushing out a product before it was ready, just to try and capture a 1 year headstart.
If a MS logo shows up at the beginning of the next Elder Scrolls on a Playstation console, so what? That means Sony won and MS is just another publisher. Many of the large publishers are quite dirty, so it fits them well. I wouldn't mind seeing their console die off though and them solely take up this publisher role.
Yeah, I never bought another Xbox console after the 360. But at the same time you shouldn't find yourself captive to Elder Scrolls if the company behind it is very scummy. I dropped COD after Ghosts and I don't regret it the company has only become worse and I'm glad I never was part of funding that.

Sony would probably be selling more if they stopped sending mixed signals about their future. Putting games on PC because you are taking data analytic advice from Microsoft about the future of consoles is folly and has limited their potential sales. Microsoft want Sony and the world to believe that consoles are done as a business so companies like Sony and Nintendo etc can end up serving Microsoft's platform. Remember when it comes to Microsoft "It is us or no one and the three E's" Don't fall for it.
Alchemist: The Potion Monger is available now of PC and consoles, and this review will tell you why it shouldn't be overlooked.
Review - 15in1 Solitaire bundles in some confusing, poorly tutorialised and broken variants of Solitaire, which is no use to anyone.
“In the last 12 months, the Xbox 360 has caught up to the Xbox Series X|S by 2.81 million units.“
Really puts into perspective just how bad Series X/S are selling.
People call me a fanboy because i don't say nice things about the SX.
But I'll say something nice about SX: The SX is probably doing better vs 360 if you remove all the double counted RROD 360's that were peaking around this time in 360's life.
I don't even think game focused folks work at Microsoft it's like the weird a** higher ups are politicians nowadays its ridiculous how they aren't trying to make games like that smh just lies, cryin&complaining smh the 360 is still a blast to play
Some of you can bring up 360 replacements all you want, but fact is the 360 was a very desired and acclaimed console. It got so many replacements BECAUSE of how much people wanted it! If the Series consoles had anywhere close to that failure rate, forget about it!
Besides, those devices should still be ahead of the 360 regardless! Mentioning that the latter is “only ahead because of replacements” is ironically comical!
