Sony’s PlayStation 4 has beaten Xbox One in February U.S. hardware figures, the NPD Group has revealed.
“Demand for PlayStation 4 remains incredibly strong in the U.S. as it was #1 in hardware and software sales in February according to the latest NPD report. PS4 remains the cumulative leader in hardware sales with more than 20.2 million units sold to consumers worldwide demonstrating the fastest growth in PlayStation hardware history,” said the company.
