Xbox isn’t exactly lighting up the sales charts at the moment – especially in Europe. It’s been a bit of a washout this year in countries like France and Germany, where Sony has seen PS5 sales explode by up to 143 per cent – while in October the Redmond firm witnessed a year-over-year decline of an extraordinary 52 per cent.
We know that in some countries on the continent, the Japanese giant is closing on 90 per cent market share against its rival – and in Spain, the Xbox Series X|S was even outsold by PS5’s handheld accessory the PS Portal during the week ending 19th November. It’s perhaps worth noting this was the portable’s launch, so it’s unlikely the feat will be repeated again.
