Microsoft admits that PS4 outsold the Xbox One by a huge margin

Wikipedia lists that the Xbox One has sold roughly 51 million units throughout its lifetime. On the other hand, Sony stopped making more PS4 units earlier this year, leaving its total at 117.2 million.

This would coincide with Microsoft's claims that the PS4 sold more than twice as many Xbox One consoles. Unfortunately, without the official numbers from Microsoft, we'll never know how many Xbox One units it managed to sell.

Microsoft continues to fight several legal battles as it pushes to acquire Activision Blizzard. Until the deal closes, several regulatory groups and governments will take their time scrutinizing the buyout.

It won't help Microsoft's case that Sony worries that the purchase will give Microsoft an unfair advantage. Then again, Sony isn't without fault. Microsoft says that its rival is intentionally blocking developers from adding games to the Game Pass.

Speaking of Microsoft, the tech giant will join Gamescom 2022. Among other companies confirmed for this month's gaming showcase is Ubisoft.
