Sony’s PS5 was the best-selling next-gen console of 2020 in the UK, outselling Microsoft’s Xbox Series X|S by quite a margin.

As reported by GamesIndustry.biz, Sony’s next-gen console (and this includes both the standard PS5 model and the digital-only variant), sold over 450K units between its launch on November 19 and December 31, 2020. Microsoft’s Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S combined managed to sell over 310K units between November 10th and December 31st - a sales difference of roughly 45% in the favor of Sony's console. Interestingly, Sony’s PlayStation 5 drove £191 million in revenue, while the Xbox Series X|S harvested £118 million in revenue (60% difference). Nintendo’s hybrid platform generated £367.4 million in 2020, thereby beating revenue for both the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S combined.
