The NPD’s full report for November releases subsequent week, however as is its current behavior Microsoft launched an early assertion at this time. It quietly did not say something about being the best-selling – one thing broadly interpreted as an admission of second place.

Backing up this assumption, a Sony spokesperson confirmed with Gamespot that the PS4 had received out, however didn’t make any additional remark.

Gracious in victory? Well, Sony in all probability stated all it wanted to earlier this week when it introduced global PS4 sales had passed 50 million, with 10 million of these gross sales made within the final six months alone.
