AMD’s figures indicate how many sales Microsoft’s two current-generation consoles have generated thus far.

According to the well-known AMD leaker KeplerL2, who posted on the NeoGAF forums, AMD’s own sales data suggests that fewer than 30 million Xbox Series consoles have been sold. Microsoft is no longer selling the Xbox Series at a loss, but the same cannot be said for Sony’s PlayStation 5.

“The Xbox Series consoles haven’t even reached 30 million sales. You don’t need third-party trackers; you can use the numbers from AMD and Sony to figure out Xbox sales. The Steam Deck is part of the SCBU (Semi-Custom Business Unit) and is counted as a console; Van Gogh and all its variants were developed by the SCBU and fall under the same reporting as consoles. Z1 and Z2 are repurposed laptop chips (Rembrandt, Phoenix, and Strix) and fall under the client segment. It’s also important to note that AMD’s numbers are higher than Sony/Xbox’s unit sales because they include chips that are sold but still in assembly (i.e., somewhere in the process).”

“In Q3, fewer than 100 million console units, with approximately 66 million PlayStation 5 sales and 4 million Steam Deck sales, would put the Xbox Series at a maximum of 29 million units sold. In Q4, over 100 million console units, with ~75 million PlayStation 5 and ~4 million Steam Deck sales, means that Xbox sold a minimum of 21 million units. Therefore, Xbox sales for this generation range from a minimum of 21 million plus Q1 and Q2 of 2025 to a maximum of 29 million plus Q4 of 2024 and Q1 and Q2 of 2025.”

“The PlayStation 5 briefly became profitable, but then component prices increased (N7 wafers, GDDR6, and a few others), and it started losing money again. As far as I know, the standard PlayStation 5 continues to be sold at a slight loss, while only the PS5 Pro is profitable. They did a die shrink for the Xbox Series X and raised prices. It should be profitable now,” wrote KeplerL2.

This means that the PlayStation 5 could have a user base roughly three times larger than the Xbox Series duo. Microsoft’s decision to create a cheaper model (Xbox Series S) was not enough to stop the steady decline in sales. Even in the last, otherwise profitable quarter, Xbox hardware sales declined 22% year-over-year…
