JAKARTA - Recently, social media networks were excited by the launch of the two most-awaited consoles, the PlayStation 5 (PS5) and Xbox Series X. Because they were so popular, many fans did not get these consoles.

Citing Gizchina, Saturday, December 19, however, this has not reduced the number of PlayStation 5 consoles sold to date. And reportedly, sales of these consoles have broken new sales records in the United States (US) for the first month.

From the results of this first sale, the PS5 was able to beat the sales of the PlayStation 4, which had held the previous record for quite a long time. Unfortunately, there are no exact figures for the sales of these consoles.

For the record, this PS5 series has two versions of the optical drive and a digital version. This console is equipped with a custom 8-core Zen 2 3.5GHz CPU that supports frequency conversion. The graphics card is an AMD custom GPU with RDNA2 architecture.

The frequency is up to 2.23GHz, supports 10.28 trillion floating-point operations per second, with 120Hz / 8K output support, 3D sound effects and more. Apart from that, the console is directly compatible with the games on the PS4.

But on the other hand, its competitors Xbox Series X are not experiencing satisfactory sales. In fact, reports say that sales of Microsoft's latest console are lower than the previous generation Xbox One.

This is because the number of productions of the latest generation Xbox Series X consoles is still very limited. Chances are, there will be a change in sales if Microsoft immediately increases its production volume next year.

Some parties also stated that the very high sales could be due to brokers who had bought a large number of PS5s.

That way, they immediately resold the console at a much higher price, and of course make gamers lose.
