The VGChartz sales comparison series of articles are updated monthly and each one focuses on a different sales comparison using our estimated video game hardware figures. The charts include comparisons between the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, as well as with older platforms. There are articles based on our worldwide estimates, as well as the US, Europe, and Japan.
This monthly series compares the aligned worldwide sales of the Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.
The Xbox Series X|S launched in November 2020, while the Xbox One launched in November 2013. This does mean the holiday periods for the two consoles do lineup.
XSX|S Vs. XOne Worldwide:
Gap change in latest month: 226,536 - XSX|S
Gap change over last 12 months: 1,562,585 - XSX|S
Total Lead: 2,638,241 - XSX|S
Xbox Series X|S Total Sales: 15,457,918
Xbox One Total Sales: 12,819,677
June 2022 is the 20th month the Xbox Series X|S has been available for. In the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the Xbox Series X|S when compared to the aligned launch of the Xbox One by 226,536 units.
In the last 12 months, the Xbox Series X|S has grown by 1.56 million units. The Xbox Series X|S is currently ahead by 2.64 million units.
The Xbox Series X|S has sold 15.46 million units in 20 months, while the Xbox One sold 12.82 million units. Month 20 for the Xbox Series X|S is June 2022 and for the Xbox One is June 2015.
The Xbox One did not reach current Xbox Series X|S sales until month 25 when it sold 16.34 million units.
The Xbox One crossed 20 million in month 30, 30 million in month 48, and 40 million in month 61. The Xbox One has sold 50.53 million units to date.

Series is selling well. 5 months ahead of the XBO for the same time frame. The XBO didnt cross 20m until month 30 so Series could do it in 24-25, maybe less.
I think whether the Xbox Series consoles ultimately outsell the 360 or not will depend on how long this generation is.
This generation could last a long-ass time, given they're higher-end (compared to contemporary PCs) than the One and PS4 were, and given Moore's Law is slowing down.
Or Microsoft and Sony might launch a new generation early, instead of releasing "Pro" consoles, since better architecture (rather than smaller chip fabrication) seems to be the primary way forward for improving hardware in an economical fashion these days.
Whether the Xbox Series consoles ultimately outsell the 360 in total units sold or not, it's almost guaranteed that the Xbox Series consoles will have more working units in the wild than the 360 by the end of their respective generations, given the high failure rate of the early 360s!
Agreed. But to do that they have to have a new generation of consoles that are at least powerful enough to emulate the PS5/Series X hardware with at least the same performance. If (for example) PS5 games emulated on a PS6 play worse, that won't be popular. Whereas with a "Pro" console that was a more powerful version of the exact same architecture, that wouldn't be a concern.
But conversely, if they do make a Pro console, then the next generation has to be EVEN more powerful, because now it has to emulate the Pro console as well without any performance degradation, so I guess it's 6 of one, and a half-dozen of the other.
So, yes, if an architectural leap is going to be more powerful/more efficient and can be done cost-effectively, it would better to do that for sure.
Ahead of the XBO, while being supply-constrained. Not bad I think.
