![]() This fight for supremacy shows no signs of slowing down with the next battle of the console wars upon the horizon. ![]() Despite being released over three years later than its rivals, Switch global sales have already reached over 78 million units worldwide, with approximately a third of the regional console sales occurring in North America. This duel has also turned into a three-way battle thanks to the enormous success of Nintendo’s hybrid video game console, the Nintendo Switch. However, while PlayStation 4 sales in Europe reached more than 48 million units alone, Microsoft’s global Xbox One Sales are yet to reach 50 million units worldwide. The most recent battle between these console giants has been fought out between their eight-generation consoles, the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. While the term “console wars” was originally coined to describe the rivalry between Sega and Nintendo in the video game market during the 1980s and 1990s, the modern usage refers to the battle for supremacy between the PlayStation and Xbox brands. One of the latest entrants to the market, the Sony PlayStation 5, sold about 12.6 million units in 2021. Nintendo Switch was the best-selling video game console worldwide in 2021, selling over 25 million units across the globe.
