With the exception of April, Sony’s console, the PlayStation 4, has outsold its competition every month of 2015. According to industry reporting group, NPD, this also continued through September.
Leading into the Holiday season, this is very good news for Sony. With Black Friday deals around the corner, and a larger install base, gamers are likely to be picking up both first and third party titles for their new console.
November and December are notoriously important months in gaming. With Sony’s recent price cut from $400 USD to $350, rivaling the equally priced Xbox One, these upcoming months could continue to see Sony on top in terms of sales. Of course, we could also see a spike of people electing to buy a second console for the holiday, but this is pure speculation, and is unlikely to cause Nintendo or Microsoft to surpass Sony’s current momentum.
