Ampere Analysis data suggests next-gen console sales aren't going any faster than the previous generation so far, despite Microsoft and Sony both proclaiming they had the best launch ever for Xbox and PlayStation consoles, respectively.

As reported by GamesIndustry, the analysts at Ampere Analysis believe Xbox Series S and X sold a combined 2.8 million units to date, which is about 100K units less than the Xbox One did in the same timeframe. Microsoft's focus is of course squarely on Game Pass, but the analysts still believe selling Xbox Series S and X hardware will remain a 'cornerstone' of the Xbox business at least until 2025.
