- Update: Our PS4 vs Xbox One comparison now considers Microsoft’s price drop and how it contrasts with Sony’s specs, games and graphics power.
Now 16 months into this PS4 vs Xbox One comparison and ahead of E3 2015, console sales have proven that Sony is more popular with early adopters of the next-generation of video games.
PlayStation 4 has surpassed 20.2 million systems sold worldwide, while Microsoft’s numbers for the end of last year indicate 10 million Xbox One consoles have shipped to stores. It’s shy about fresher figures, but the company claims recent sales are up tremendously.
Of course, those are overall sales statistics – all meaningless, as the Xbox One price drop and subsequent surge in popularity made the debate a little more even.
