So it seems we have a winner after all in the console wars. Confirming what many already knew, sales tracking company NPD reports that the PlayStation 4 has indeed outsold the Xbox One in America during November. Number wise the PS4 is in 2.1 million homes compared to the Xbox One which is in 2 million, which is an incredible start for both next-generation consoles. Sony released a statement from SCEA Jack Tretton saying, "Demand continues to overwhelm supply, but we're working hard to get PS4 units into the hands of customers throughout the holiday season." PlayStation also released a thank you video to fans.
The company also released a statement via their blog. "PS4 was the top-selling console for November and PlayStation was No. 1 in sales overall for home consoles," Sony writes on the PlayStation blog, via NPD. Microsoft counters on its Wire news service: "November NPD Group figures released today revealed 909,132 Xbox One units were sold in the US in the console's first nine days, making it the fastest-selling console on the market in the US. Xbox One sales averaged a volume of more than 101,000 consoles per day, significantly outpacing the nearest competitor."
Not to be left out or undone by the competition, Nintendo also released a statement about their numbers saying. Nintendo had their own numbers to boast. Thanks to the release of "Super Mario 3D World" on Wii U and "The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds" on 3DS, sales of Nintendo hardware systems in November leapt "by 100 percent over the month prior," Nintendo has announced. After selling "nearly 770,000 units of the Nintendo 3DS family" in November, the handheld has surpassed a lifetime total of units sold to almost 10.5 million.
