Still struggling to get your hands on a next-gen console? You’re certainly not alone. As the global chip shortage gets worse, not better, new consoles remain a rare sight on retail shelves, with the PlayStation 5 seemingly particularly affected. So much so, that February saw the Xbox Series X/S outsell the PS5 in both North America and Europe for the first time.

Microsoft’s win comes about due to the relative availability of the Xbox Series S, the only new console that can semi-reliably be found on store shelves. That said, Microsoft’s victory is a somewhat hollow one, as console sales were down as a whole in February due to availability issues. According to the NPD Group, North American hardware sales were down 27 percent year-on-year in February, and the situation was even worse in Europe, with console sales down 32 percent. Also, while the Xbox Series X/S beat PS5, they were both bested by the Nintendo Switch yet again.
