PS5 outsold N64 and Xbox Series X|S outsold GameCube lifetime sales

Christopher Dring, a UK video game writer and publisher of Games Industry’s weekly UK software rankings, released new information on current-gen console sales in the UK.

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.
