The PS4 remained the best selling console in North America for the second month in a row. After being number one in November, it topped the charts in December too.
VentureBeat reported on the results, although Sony did not leave a comment on the success. The PS4 had success thanks to the recent releases of the Pro console as well as the PlayStation VR headset.
December was also fueled in Sony’s favor due to the releases of The Last Guardian and Final Fantasy XV. The latter is also available on Xbox One, although more people bought Final Fantasy XV on Sony’s console instead.
Even though Sony was on top, it was not a shabby month for the Xbox One. A Microsoft spokesperson said that December 2016 was “the biggest month ever for Xbox One sales in the U.S“. Not to mention sales are up compared to the same month last year.
2017 will be an even bigger year for console gaming. Lots of exclusives are coming out plus there’s also the Nintendo Switch and Microsoft’s Xbox Scorpio being released.
