The second-best-selling hardware was the Xbox One, which sold 115,000 consoles during April. Finally, the Xbox 360 sold 71,000 consoles during the same period, according to Microsoft. Data from the NPD Group reveals that the two Xbox platforms together accounted for 53% of software sales during April.

 

“Life to date, sales of PS4 and Xbox One hardware have more than doubled the combined sales of PS3 and 360 hardware through their first six months of sales,” said NPD analyst Liam Callahan.

 

He continued, “PS4 software combined with Xbox One software sales are up over 40 percent compared to sales of the PS3 and Xbox 360 through their first six months. Wii U software sales were up over last year by over 80 percent.”

 

Unfortunately, software sales at retail did see a 10% decline for the month. However, total industry sales increased by 17%, thanks to next-gen hardware.
