We recently saw that the Xbox sakes went backwards by 13%, however it's pretty hard to find an XSX in stock.
Where I live shops are swimming in PS5s, to the point where they are pushing to try and sell them, while they are sold out of XSXs.
I spoke to the manager of a JB Hifi about it. He said that during the Xmas period JB HiFi had a constant stream of PS5s. They even had a pallet of them on the floor. The guy told me they never received a quarter of XSXs stock compared to the PS5.
My brother in law is a Harvey Norman Franchise owner and he has said the same thing. Sony are killing it with supply now.
The only issue he said with the PS5 was that they are all the GOW bundle at the moment.
Something is a miss with the supply of XSX.
My guess is maybe there was issues with the Rumoured 6nm revision and this has hurt their production.
Now, of course this might be an Australian thing. I accept that both Sony and MS prioritise different regions differently, and what has happened here might not be mirrored elsewhere.
I also accept that Sony is a major appliance manufacturer and Microsoft isn't. Sony obviously have more experience at mass market supply and demand. Maybe this is going against MS.
I would be interested in if this is the same situation in other regions.
