With the official NPD sales numbers for December released, Microsoft is celebrating as the Xbox One managed to beat the PS4 during the last month of 2013. Despite that, Sony Computer Entertainment’s Director of Corporate Communications Dan Race issued a statement to the press, mentioning that PS4 is still holding ahead of the competition.
"According to the latest NPD report, PlayStation 4 remains the cumulative leader for next-gen console sales in the U.S. since its launch on November 15. We sold every PS4 available at retail in the U.S. and were out of stock in December due to overwhelming consumer demand. With more than 4.2 million PS4 systems sold worldwide, it’s clear that the PS4′s gaming and entertainment features are resonating with large audiences and we’re doing our best to provide additional inventory in all of the 53 countries where it’s available."The NPD's aren't completely official, so each company will argue the statistics with one another month to month. Take each NPD release with a grain of salt.
