Xbox Sales Down by 52% in Europe While PS5 Up by 143%

https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/xbox...t-of-exclusive

Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ: MSFT) presence in the console market, particularly in Europe, has encountered substantial challenges.

This is indicated by a notable 52% decline in sales for the Xbox Series X and S compared to the increasing sales of Sony Group Corp's (NYSE: SONY) PlayStation 5 and Nintendo's Switch, as reflected in a report from GI.biz.

The data reveals a stark reality for Xbox, with PlayStation 5 comfortably leading in Europe, marking a remarkable 143% surge in sales over the previous year, while the aging Nintendo ADR (OTC: NTDOY) Switch follows in second place, despite a 20% decrease in sales.

The conspicuous drop in Xbox sales, both on a year-on-year and month-on-month basis, paints a concerning picture for the brand. Even with the launch of Starfield, Xbox's exclusive title in September, the impact on console sales seems limited.

Contrastingly, PlayStation's Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. Wonder released in October, breaking sales records and further contributing to Xbox's comparative decline.

Thanks. I also hope that getting triggered because of a straight up news report where I didn't even put my own thoughts on will enhance your life in a positive way.

Yes and instead of changing anti consumer practices and releasing quality content, they'll blame the market and move to exclusively software sales.

It's clear there is a rift in the company.

If that was the case wouldn't America have just as bad sales as Europe?

Once again, I dont really know because I literally only even have an idea from you guys talking about it on here but from the article in the OP:

Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ: MSFT) presence in the console market, particularly in Europe

Kind of infers overall and just that it's just worse in Europe, also:

Moreover, the integration of games directly into Game Pass, unlike Sony's staggered releases on PC, might be limiting Xbox's hardware sales despite Game Pass being deemed a favorable deal for gamers.

I guess this is basically what I was suggesting

Also just quickly googled:

https://www.vgchartz.com/article/459...-october-2023/

Spoiler!

If I'm reading it right that graph looks like it's diverging significantly over the last 6-7 months in the US? not quite as significant as Europe but the same trend?
