CTOnews.com, December 25 (Xinhua) according to Insider Gaming, Jim Ryan, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, held an employee Q & An in December 2022, at which he hinted that PlayStation did not consider Xbox Game Pass to be a competitor.

He said the total number of XGP subscribers seems to be getting lower and lower, leaving only 20 million users, compared with nearly 50 million subscribers for PlayStation Plus. In addition, he also mentioned that Sony has sold more PS5 than the total number of Xbox Game Pass members in the last two years.

CTOnews.com learned that as of September 30, 2022, the PlayStation 5 had shipped 25 million units worldwide, and that number has been increasing since then.

It is reported that Sony has greatly improved the spot capacity of the PS5 in the past few months, and some users have even seen piles of PS5 on store shelves. In addition, fans can buy PS5 bundles, which include the two most popular games of the year, Ares: the Gods of Twilight or call of Duty: modern Warfare 2.

The exact number of Microsoft Xbox Game Pass subscribers is currently unknown. However, this number exceeded 25 million in January 2022. In addition, Sony previously claimed that Xbox Game Pass has more than 29 million monthly subscribers, so this seems to contradict previous figures. We think here that Ryan may have omitted the number of PC Game Pass users and only compared the number of Xbox Game Pass members on the Xbox console with the number of PlayStation Plus users.
