PS5 and Xbox Series X/S were released less than 2 years ago. I guess you're talking about the Xbox and PlayStation brands in general. Also, the article says it's the second week this year.

It's both the second time this year, and the second time in 8 years that Microsoft sold more Xboxes in a week than Sony sold PlayStations. Before that, the last time was the week the Xbox One launched in Japan. Even then, they only sold more than each type of PlayStation individually, not total.

You are correct, thank you.

If you click the link about the other week this year, that's where the 8 year figure is mentioned.
