The PS5 and the Xbox Series continue to be locked in an eternal battle as new sales figures reveal some interesting bits of information. More specifically sales number have come in from Japan and it looks like the PS5 is handily beating out the Xbox Series X but console sales overall are down compared to last generation.
The data we have so far is only a small slice of the pie and Xbox has always sold poorly in Japan so take that as you will – also we can probably assume Microsoft would make less units available in Japan based on their sales history there. Covid has obviously taken its toll on the production of latest PlayStation and Xbox consoles and analysts are saying even though demand is super high, there just aren’t enough Series X and PS5 consoles to go around.
Don’t get to down about, at least you have the most recent edition of Inside Gaming Daily to keep you company. See you in the comments.

The PlayStation 5 (PS5) is an upcoming home video game console developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Announced in 2019 as the successor to the PlayStation 4, it is scheduled to launch on November 12, 2020 in North America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea, and on November 19, 2020 for the rest of the world.
The platform is anticipated to launch in two varieties, as a base PlayStation 5 system incorporating an Ultra HD Blu-ray compatible optical disc drive for retail game support alongside digital distribution via the PlayStation Store, and a lower-cost Digital variant lacking the disc drive while retaining digital download support.
The PlayStation 5 features a customized solid state drive designed for high-speed data streaming to enable significant improvements in graphical performance. The hardware also features a custom AMD GPU capable of ray tracing, support for 4K resolution displays and high framerates, new audio hardware for real-time 3D audio effects, and backward compatibility with most PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR games.

The high-end model was first teased during E3 2019 under the title “Project Scarlett”, while its name and design as Xbox Series X was unveiled during The Game Awards later in December. In September 2020, Microsoft unveiled the low-end model as Xbox Series S.
