PlayStation sales tripled Xbox sales last quarter, according to Sony

Sony’s PlayStation brand is currently dominating the Xbox in terms of console sales.

Sony sold 3.5 million PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 systems during the first quarter of its fiscal 2014. That’s up from 1.1 million PS3s sold during the same period last year (the PS4 wasn’t out at that time). What is even more impressive is that the combined sales of the PlayStation consoles are outselling Microsoft’s combined Xbox One and Xbox 360 sales by a three-to-one margin. This is despite Microsoft introducing an Xbox One without the Kinect camera peripheral for a discounted $400 (down from $500), which is the same price as the PS4.
