New interesting sales data have slipped from the usual monthly NPD Group report, hinting at what we can expect from the complete data releasing in the next few days.
The report claims PS4 has been the best selling console in North America for the month of April, allowing the platform to win over the main competitor now, which is not Xbox One but Nintendo Switch.
The relative sales volumes of game hardware was:
- PS4: 1.92
- Switch: 1
- XBox One: 0.79
- 3DS: 0.41
These were the percentage changes on a year-over-year basis, which shows an incredible increase for all the console, especially of course PS4.
- PS4: +58%
- Switch: -39%
- XBox One: +20%
- 3DS: -3%
On the software side (digital not included), top sellers were God of War, Far Cry 5, Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 01: Variety Kit and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.
