The company is currently defending its proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard in Brazil, and in documents submitted to the authorities speaking about the company’s competition with Sony in the console space, it said, “Sony has surpassed Microsoft in terms of console sales and install base”, adding that the PS4 sold “more than twice as many units” as the Xbox One did during the previous console generation.
Recently, however, Microsoft provided a much clearer idea of what the sales count looks like for the Xbox One.
That would put the Xbox One somewhere in the mid-to-high 50 million units range, which is about what analysts have estimated as well.
Sony has now officially stopped reporting updated sales figures for the PS4, which means that the monumentally successful console stops its lifetime count at 117.2 million units sold, making it one of the best-selling gaming systems of all time.
