PlayStation 4 reportedly blew Xbox One sales out of the water according to shocking report
Brazil - The Xbox One was a fantastic gaming console, but a new report has revealed that the PlayStation 4 still blew its sales out of the water.
Microsoft has been involved in a court case in Brazil regarding the company's acquisition of Activision Blizzard since earlier this year.
In case documents originally obtained by Game Luster, it was finally revealed how well Xbox console sales were in comparison to its Sony rival the PlayStation 4 – and they're shockingly low.
"Sony has surpassed Microsoft in terms of console sales and installed base, having sold more than twice as many Xbox in the last generation," the doc says at one point, translated from Portuguese
Microsoft hasn't publicly disclosed its earnings from console sales since 2016, so there is no definitive number. But it is known that Sony last reported PS4 sales in March at $117.2 million, half of which would be around $58 million – giving a rough ballpark of how many Xboxs were likely sold.
Nintendo, on the other hand, continues to thrive, having sold 111.08 million Switch units so far in the system's lifetime, and is expected to beat out the PS4 by the end of the year.
The Xbox One may not have sold well, but Microsoft is quickly catching up to sales for the PS5 with their Series S / X.
