Website VGChartz has provided its latest sales estimates for current-gen gaming consoles, and the roundup provides a fresh look at how Microsoft’s Xbox Series X|S systems were getting on at the tail end of 2024.
During the month of November last year, the data suggests that Series X and S shifted 767,118 units, compared to 4,120,898 for PS5, and 1,715,636 Nintendo Switch sales. According to the site, this now puts Xbox Series X|S lifetime sales at 31,208,651 by the end of November 2024.
Interestingly, VGChartz also compares how Microsoft’s current-gen console lineup is stacking up against its last-gen counterpart; Xbox One. For the same month back in 2017, when Xbox One was also four years into its lifecycle, Microsoft was still selling around 2.3 million consoles – suggesting that Xbox Series X|S is moving at roughly one third of Xbox One’s rate during its fourth year on the market.
This all lines up with what we’ve been hearing both from Microsoft and from other data analysts lately as we head into the back half of the current console generation. It’s worth noting that VGChartz openly states these numbers are estimates; apparently accurate to within 10% of the actual figures.
Thoughts on these latest sales estimates, folks? Talk to us about them down below.
