The new Xbox One S console has helped Microsoft beat the PS4 in August’s NPD sales. This should be good news for Microsoft as they had been second place for the most of 2016.
Microsoft left this statement via Gamespot:
Thanks to our fans and their excitement for new Xbox One games and the recently launched Xbox One S, which is the only console available this holiday with built-in UHD 4K Blu-ray, 4K video streaming, and HDR for video and gaming, Xbox One was the best-selling console in the U.S. in August.
Microsoft has to stay competitive as things could sway back Sony’s way later in the year. Not only is the Slim PS4 out later this month, but many people would want to buy the PS4 Pro in November too.
