Surprised? You shouldn’t be, apparently the Xbox Series X|S invasion in Japan has been going on for a while. However, the quantity is what may surprise experts and fans alike as Xbox consoles sold twice than PS5 in just one week.
The reason behind these interesting numbers is the supply shortage that keeps bothering Sony. As a result, is almost impossible to find a PS5 in Japan while Xbox consoles are much easier to buy.
Supply constraints continue to cause havoc. Xbox Series outsold PS5 for a second week in Japan last week. https://t.co/TlklXx5EOU

As we were saying this is not the first time that Xbox surpass PlayStation, last month Xbox Series S by itself outsold the PS5 in Japan.
It finally happened. Xbox Series S by itself outsold the PS5 in Japan last week (May 9-15).

Xbox Series S - 6,120
Xbox Series X - 105
PlayStation 5 (Disc+Digital) - 2,963https://t.co/UkBOIwNghU
We know that this puts Microsoft in the lead temporary, however, we can’t help to get excited as this is a first-timer for Xbox, which has been struggling for a very long time in the Japanese market.
But hey! Both of them are still very far away from the Nintendo Switch, which has sold 24.7 million units across all versions, so yeah, still a long way to go.
