Xbox One outsold PlayStation 4 in July in the U.S.

Microsoft has a new version of its Xbox One out this month, but the old model had a strong performance in July.

Xbox One was the top-selling console in the United States last month, according to data-tracking firm The NPD Group. Microsoft launched the revamped Xbox One S on August 4, which is a slimmer, higher-quality version of the same system. But while we won’t see any sales for that system until NPD’s next report, Microsoft clearly benefited from slashing prices on the 2013 launch version of Xbox One. July is among the slowest months for hardware and software sales, so these results will likely not make a dent in the lead Sony’s PlayStation 4 has built over Microsoft’s system in the $99.6 billion gaming industry.
