Update: PS5 is also successful in the UK
Meanwhile, rough UK sales figures have been announced for PS5 and Xbox Series X / S. Like Microsoft itself, Sony has not released figures. However, the Videogameschronicle page was able to find out from anonymous sources that the PS5 should have had a more successful launch than the PS4 at the time. So the numbers for Sony and Microsoft consoles in the UK look like this:
- PS5: 250,000+
- PS4: 250,000
- PSP: 185,000
- PS3: 165,000
- Xbox Series X / S: 155,000
- Xbox One: 150,000
- Xbox 360: 70,000
Original message
Sony and Microsoft have successfully launched their new PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles. Now are the first sales figures for the launch in a European country. In Spain, the PS5 has the best start for a home console and the Xbox Series X was sold with the same frequency as the two previous models. For the first week at least, but both devices are now completely sold out.
PS5 launches the best console in Spain to date
Solid figures from Spain: Microsoft hasn’t released any Xbox sales figures for a long time and Sony has also started talking only about launch records or the like. However, it now appears to have exact figures on launch sales for Xbox Series X and PS5. It is only the first week and only from Spain.
- PS5: 43,000
- PS2: 40,000
- PS4: 38,000
- PS3: 35,000
- Xbox Series X | S: 14,100
- Xbox One: 15,000
- Xbox 360: 14,900

First look to compare: The numbers also give a first impression of the relationship between PS5 and Xbox Series X sales. Therefore, the PS5 has the best sales start in Spain so far in terms of home consoles. The PSP is said to have sold faster there.
Enjoy with caution: Sales figures are always difficult to interpret and can be influenced by many different factors. The informational value of console sales is also often overestimated, as most companies do not generate most of the revenue from hardware sales, but from software, subscriptions, and the like. As a result, it was often reckoned that pure console sales are actually a loss.
Sales could be higher: In general, it should be noted that both consoles are probably completely sold out in Spain. Rather, the figures currently show how many units might be available and not necessarily how high the demand was.
