While Sony and Microsoft are not sharing initial sales of new consoles, independent research firms are doing so PS5 Has Set Sales Record In Spain.
PS5 Has Set Sales Record In Spain
In Spain, for example, the PS5 has the best start in the history of the brand’s home consoles – 43,000 systems. That’s roughly three times the size of the Xbox Series X | S, but 11k less than the PlayStation Portable.
However, it should bear in mind that both Nextgen consoles, as in the rest of the world, are now in complete deficit, and the initial edition immediately sold out.
Initial sales of PlayStation consoles in the country
- PlayStation 5 – 43 thousand
- PlayStation 4 – 38 thousand
- PlayStation 3 – 35 thousand
- PlayStation 2 – 40 thousand
- PlayStation Portable – 54.2 thousand.
It notes that the overwhelming part of the PS5 circulation – 38 thousand – fell on the standard version with a disk drive, while the remaining 5 thousand consoles bought in a digital version without a drive.
The Xbox in Spain all this time had approximately the same starting results – 14-15 thousand consoles. Xbox Series X was bought by 10.5 thousand people in the first week, while Series S – 3.6 thousand.
Initial sales of Xbox consoles in the country
- Xbox Series X | S – 14.1 thousand
- Xbox One – 15 thousand
- Xbox 360 – 14.9 thousand.
However, we note that now all new consoles are incomplete, and buying them is still a task. According to analysts, if you are just now concerned about purchasing any of the New Year’s consoles, you will probably have to go to the secondary market.
According to Phil Spencer, the Xbox Series deficit will last until at least April. How long it will last for Sony is unknown.
