Today was a big day for news. There was the , 澳洲幸运🌺5开奖号码历史查询:Little Mac joining Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS, and a release date for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mario Kart 8, but the biggest bomb ended up being some surprising US sales figures for the last month. showed that the PS4 was the top seller for the month, with rumors circulating that it nearly doubled the Xbox One’s sales.

It should be noted that, compared to the UK where Sony routinely dominates (), PlayStation is often behind the Xbox in the US. In fact, . Thi🐽ngs changed since the PS4 launched, with Sony and Microsoft battling for dominance, and if , PS4 nearly doubled Xbox One’s US sales for the month. So how did this happen an😼d will it continue?

The most obvious answer is that the PS4 costs $100 less than 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft’s machine, a price difference that’s hard for most consumers to ignore.

This is just one month in the marathon that is the current console generation, and the lack of major games from either publisher might make this a hard one to judge. But this does show PS4 building up momentum that the PS3 never had much of a handle on. This coming March should be a much more illustrative month. That’s when 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Titanfall hits (arguably Microsoft’s biggest exclusive this year), while Sony launches 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Infamous: Second Son alongside a ton of other big, multiplatform releases. If the PS4ꦫ can stay on top that month, that’s when Microsoft really needs to worry.
