“PS4 led overall hardware sales this month, followed by the Xbox One,” said [NPD's, so counting handhelds] Callahan.

We reached out to Microsoft for its sales result, but it declined to comment. Sony, however, confirmed that the PS4 doubled Xbox One’s sales.

Other Info:

Microsoft PR

The release of January NPD Group data today provides a chance to reflect on the success of Xbox One. We are incredibly humbled and proud to see Xbox One continue to be the best launch of an Xbox in our history. Comparatively, Xbox One consoles have sold at a rate of 2.29 times faster than Xbox 360 in the U.S. in the same timeframe for the first three months on the market. From our blazing start out of the gate, we have continued to see Xbox One delight fans in 13 markets around the world, with many more markets to come this year.

More importantly, it is gratifying for our team to see Xbox continue to prove it’s the best place to play games. January NPD Group figures released today revealed Xbox* sold the most games across all console platforms in January with 2.27 million units sold, making up 47 percent of software market share. Fans continue to show their excitement for new generation Xbox One games, with U.S. consumers purchasing an average of 2.7 games per console since launch. This amazing success is due in large part to our unrivaled games lineup, first class Xbox Live multiplayer games service and a platform for game developers that offers unique capabilities such as Kinect and Xbox SmartGlass.

Combined sales for the PS4 and its predecessor, the PlayStation 3, surpassed all other platforms in January, Sony said. ​

PS4 + PS3 > everyone else combined ?

Can't be.

Xbox One number calculations:


"Comparatively, Xbox One consoles have sold at a rate of 2.29 times faster than Xbox 360 in the U.S. in the same timeframe for the first three months on the market." - Microsoft PR


Xbox 360:

November 2005: 326K
December 2005: 281K
January 2006: 249K
=
Three month total: 856K


Xbox One:

November 2013: 909K
December 2013: 908K
=
Two month total: 1817K


So:
1817K + ???K January 2014 = (856K) * 2.29 times faster
1817K + ???K January 2014 = 1960K
Xbox One January 2014 sales = ~143K

Nirolak are you able to add 145K for the Xbox One - since it comes from PR math? Edit 2: Probably go with Aquamarine's 143K.

Edit: Also pictures seem broken?

Crackin' a fresh beer for this one.

I've a bad feeling it'll be the lowest month for Vita in a long time.

...maybe I need spirits.

Expecting the Titanfall marketing blitz to ramp up en masse.
Next month should be a repeat as PS4 supply continues to catch up to demand.
It's March that will be interesting because if Microsoft loses that month with the Titanfall bullet deployed panic will begin to set in.

Too bad for Microsoft they can't get gamers to pretend that the Xbox One ports of their titles look and play as good as their PS4 counterparts.

What a sad and expected top 10, as usual. But that's expected i guess, people still buying the big games from last end of year.

Games Beat said:
It’s interesting to note that the PS4 version is outselling the Xbox One version for each one of the above games except for Call of Duty: Ghosts. That led Microsoft to point out that Xbox One and Xbox 360, when taken together, are responsible for the most software sales.

Lol. The return of the family PR. Now, it's Microsoft's turn. Wow. They really fucked up with the X1. Next time, don't release a much weaker and more expensive console. With today's instant social media, no amount of marketing $$$ can save your product.
