As hardware prices continue to increase amid all the AI craze, both the PlayStation and Xbox are noting record low sales, with the former dropping to levels not seen since May 2000. Xbox, on the other hand, had the worst May since it started making consoles, signaling a dire future for Microsoft’s gaming division.
That is according to VGC, which writes that PlayStation 5 sold 58 percent fewer units this May compared to the same month in 2025, whereas Xbox saw a 12 percent decline. This brought Sony’s hardware numbers to levels not seen since the start of this century, whereas Microsoft is now at its lowest point on record.
