Sony are going on boasting about how well their sales did in the US last month. They outsold the Xbox One by nearly two-to-one. Sony add to this by saying that they managed such figures even though stock of the console was “severely constrained”.
New figures from NPD also portray that Sony’s advantage also has a lot to do with the software sales too- new release Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition sold twice as many copies on PS4 than on Xbox One.
This doesn’t mean that Xbox One sales have done bad. In fact, figures reveal that the company’s next-gen console is selling 2.29 times faster than the 360.
Xbox also sold the most games, keeping in mind that’s both the 360 and the One they’re referring to. Combine, Microsoft’s two consoles were responsible for 47 per cent of software sold last month – higher than Sony’s pair.
PlayStation 4 versions of games outsold the Xbox One versions in January’s software top 10, excluding Call of Duty: Ghosts and Lego Marvel. But Microsoft is being helped by continuing high sales of Minecraft and GTA5 on Xbox 360.
