The Sony PS5 is not only the fastest in terms of units sold, it is also the fastest in terms of revenue generated. Considering that the Sony PS5 has been in the U.S. market for about a month, this is a really good record. Well, the PS5 is now clearly ahead of the Xbox Series X in terms of sales and revenues. In fact, the Xbox Series X first month sales are lower than its previous generation Xbox One. This is a really unfortunate situation for Microsoft. The Xbox Series X is not almost as popular as the PlayStation 5. However, sales are only a few months old. There is still a possibility that Microsoft could turn the tables.
