Microsoft and Sony both want to be ahead of their rivals, each with their own versions. While both the Xbox One console and PS5 have a huge selection of games to choose from, which one is better? We will be discussing both consoles in depth. But, what's more important is the question of which consoles will win the next generation? After all, a gaming console is only as good as its games.
PlayStation 5
Famitsu is a Japanese magazine that tracks gaming hardware sales. It estimates that the PlayStation5 sells more units than the Xbox360. The actual number is closer towards 10.3million. This is the most successful March for a console in over a decade. Microsoft has sold the most console units of any current-gen console since March 2022. The Nintendo Switch is expected to surpass the Xbox 360 in popularity by 2022.
Xbox Series X
During the first quarter, 2022, Xbox Series X/S has sold more consoles then the Playstation 5/Playstation 4 together. According to NPD Group's monthly sales tracking, Microsoft sold more Xbox consoles in March 2022, than it did any month since 2011. Microsoft sold more consoles than Sony during the first quarter (2022), despite failing to produce enough PS5s.
Xbox One
The Microsoft-owned gaming company sold more Xbox One consoles than its rival Playstation in the first week of its launch, according to Famitsu, a Japanese publication that tracks gaming hardware sales. According to this publication, the PlayStation 5 sold 2,693 units. Only 453 units were Digital Editions, which do not include an optical drive. The Xbox One sold 6,225 more units than the PlayStation 5 in Japan during its first week. It did this in seven days that started on May 9.
PS5
The PlayStation 5 was released two years ago, on November 3. It already outsold the Xbox 360/X/S. With more than 10 million consoles sold to date, it's already the fastest selling console in Sony history. But is it more successful than the PS4? Sony has announced milestones for launch titles Spider-Man Miles Morales (6.5 M sold since November), Ratchet & Clank - Rift Apart (1.1 M) and Returnal (more that 560,000 copies).
Semiconductor shortage
Products are increasingly being affected by the global semiconductor shortage. The PlayStation 5 is a prime example of a product affected by the shortage. The console sold almost immediately after it was launched. The shortage was inevitable because of high demand. However, it also meant that millions of people couldn't afford the console. Restocks also sold out quickly, adding to the delay. Now, as the holidays approach, there is a possibility of a shortage of this type of chip in gaming consoles.
PS5's unique gimmicks
One of the most popular consoles in 2015 was the PlayStation 5, thanks to its unique features and gimmicks. The PS5 and Xbox Series X were severely disrupted by a global shortage of microchips. People have dedicated their careers to monitoring the availability of next-generation consoles. Fans can choose to purchase pre-owned units until a restocking date is announced or to enter a Neweggshuffle draw.
Xbox One
Microsoft has stopped disclosing sales figures of its Xbox consoles. Between November 2000, September 30, 2010, and the current-gen Xbox 360, more than eight million units were sold. The Xbox One S is available now for more than two years and has already outsold the PlayStation 3. Microsoft has not released its sales figures publicly, but an analyst estimate shows that the consoles sold for more than eight millions dollars to retailers in the first quarter of 2022.
Xbox One X
According to Japanese publication Famitsu, the Xbox One X sold more consoles than the PlayStation 5 in March 2014. This is a huge achievement considering the PS5 sold just over 2 million units. The Xbox Series X/S has sold approximately 5.8 million units. Although the Xbox One X has not yet achieved its goal of selling more consoles that the PlayStation 5, it will soon.

How to not strain your eyes while playing videogames
Video games are a popular form of leisure activity. Since the introduction of personal computers, the number of people who play videogames has increased dramatically. Video games are a popular pastime. However, many people complain about eye strain caused by the prolonged use of video game devices such as computer monitors. This is especially true of children. This article will explain how to prevent straining your eyes while playing video games.
First, you should know that there are two types of eye strain: temporary and permanent. Temporary eyestrain is caused by staring at something too long, without blinking. It usually goes away within a few minutes. Permanent eye strain is when you stare for long periods at a piece of work. You can reduce your risk of developing permanent eye strain by taking breaks once every 30 minutes. You can take breaks from staring at a screen for five seconds. Then, open your eyes again. If you feel tired, take a break. Your vision will blur. If you don’t take breaks, you may end up with permanently blurred vision.
These tips can help you to avoid straining your eyes while viewing videos.

Monitors with higher refresh rates than 60 Hz should be preferred. An eye strain-reducing refresh rate of 75Hz or 120Hz is possible because they offer a faster display update rate, which decreases flicker.
-
Reduce the font size. Large fonts can make it difficult to read and can cause eye strain.
-
You can adjust the brightness of the monitor. You can reduce eye strain by dimming the monitor's brightness.
-
Turn off any extra lights in the room where you are playing video.

Avoid looking directly at the sun. Eye strain can result from direct sunlight.

You should keep your distance from the monitor or TV. Too much distance from the TV or monitor makes it difficult for you to focus.
