　　Reseller website StockX has seen demand for Sony's new console climb after launch, with a global demand that has resulted in it outselling Microsoft's Xbox Series X/S consoles at a rate of nearly two-to-one.

　　It's worth noting that the launch of both consoles has seen a rise in scalpers buying up all available stock as soon as it dropped, leading to shortages and a number of consoles being sold online through Ebay at a massively inflated price. It's not known just how many Xbox Series X/S units were available for sale since the November launch, although Microsoft has claimed that the start of this generation has led to the biggest Xbox launch of all time.

　　If you're looking to see when and where you can find one of the consoles for yourself at its regular recommended retail price, check out our PS5 order guide and our Xbox Series X/S order guide.
