April 2018 NPD: PlayStation 4 outsold Switch, Xbox One

Sony’s PlayStation 4 continues to outsell the competition in a healthy console market, according to industry-tracking data firm The NPD Group. As a platform, which includes PS4, PS4 Slim, and PS4 Pro, the Sony family of consoles generated more revenue than any other system last month. But God of War also ensured that PlayStation 4 had one of the best Aprils ever in terms of units sold.

“Sony’s PlayStation 4 was the best-selling console hardware platform in April and remains the best-selling console hardware platform year to date,” NPD analyst Mat Piscatella explained. “PlayStation 4 generated the highest April unit sales for a console since Nintendo Wii in April 2009, and the highest April dollar sales for a console since Nintendo Wii in April 2008.”
