PlayStation 5 owners in the UK are far more likely to consider it their main console than Xbox Series X\/S owners, a new survey has found.<\/p>\n
Research by Ampere Analysis claims that 71% of share who said they owned the version of the PS5 said they console the most.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, of those who said they owned an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, that number dropped to 48% and 35% respectively, while 49% of Switch owners considered it their main system.<\/p>\n
The figures appear to support the theory that a number of players buy Xbox consoles \u2013 particularly the lower priced Xbox Series S \u2013 to use as secondary ‘Game Pass systems’.<\/p>\n
Somewhat curiously, the data also shows that only 43% of players who own the Digital Edition of the PlayStation 5 consider it their main system.<\/p>\n
This may suggest that the more ‘dedicated’ Sony fans are more likely to purchase the disc-based version of the console.<\/p>\n
Ampere’s analysis suggests that one of the reasons so many PS5 owners consider it their main console is because \u201cPS5 owners are more likely to be single console owners\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever,\u201d it adds, \u201cthis does not fully explain the disparity in this measure between the PS5 disc-based version and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X, its key competitor on the market, having launched at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n
