The world of gaming has long been a battleground for console supremacy, with Sony and Microsoft constantly vying for dominance. Recent data suggests that when it comes to single-player games, the PS5 is the clear winner, with a staggering 75%-80% of AAA single-player game sales occurring on the Sony console.

This disparity is likely due in part to the significant difference in install base between the two consoles, with the PS5 boasting an impressive 93 million units sold, compared to the Xbox Series X|S's estimated 35 million.
