This news may raise some eyebrows, but according to a source familiar with hardware statistics and tracking gamer playtimes, it appears that the PS3 was played more than the Xbox Series in 2022. Is this due to the popularity of the older Sony device or a lack of games for Microsoft devices?

Last year's Xbox Series X didn't have a huge number of games, and all the exclusives that were scheduled to be released were delayed until the current year. On the other hand, the PS3 belongs to an older generation that had everything gamers wanted at that time, and it seems like there's still more to come back to.

According to the website how long to beatIt turns out that the PlayStation 3 was among the most played devices last year. Where it got on Microsoft's current devices, it wasn't in first place.

List of most played devices by gamers in 2022:

1. PRAÇA.
2. Playstation 4.
3. Nintendo Switch.
4. PlayStation 5.
5. Xbox One.
6. Playstation 3.
7. Xbox Series.
8. Xbox 360.
9. Nintendo 3ds.
10. Playstation 2.

It is natural that the PlayStation 4 outperforms the rest of the devices as it is the best-selling device and so far there is a large percentage that has not managed to get the PlayStation 5.

There are still more players for the Xbox One than for the current Xbox. But it's strange to see the PlayStation 3, released more than 18 years ago, outperforming modern platforms.

In any case, Microsoft announced that, in 2021, almost 9 million copies of the Xbox were sold. The company did not disclose the type of sales, whether they were of the current or last generation, but the fact is that it was the lowest among devices from other competing companies.

In any case, everyone realizes that the reason for this drop in Xbox sales is due to the lack of exclusive titles being released. However, there are high hopes that 2023 will be a year full of first-party titles that will be released on the platform and will boost sales.
