> PS5 is now bigger than the N64 in the UK, and is closing in on the GBA. Xbox Series S/X overtook the GameCube a few months back. If only there was more stock, we'd be seeing some serious records breaking here. Long generation ahead

According to Mr. Dring, Sony’s PlayStation 5 system has already overtaken the Nintendo 64’s lifetime sales in the United Kingdom, while the Xbox Series X|S has comfortably eclipsed the GameCube’s overall sales. They would have smashed even more records if there had been more stock of both current-gen systems, he claims.
