Xbox One outsold PlayStation 4 in April, according to research firm NPD

Microsoft’s home gaming console finally outdid the PlayStation 4 last month.

The publisher has confirmed its Xbox One was the top-selling system in the United States last month. This comes from industry-tracking firm The NPD Group, which will release its full report for April later today. Since launching in November 2013, PlayStation 4 has continually dominated the sales charts, and so this is a big win for the Xbox One in the console market. With the $55 billion worldwide console-gaming market up for grabs, Sony’s approximately 20 million PS4s sold is still helping it capture a bigger piece of that business than Microsoft’s estimated 12 million Xbox Ones.
