Good maybe Sony will drop the price of PS4 this holiday.
Eh I'm sure they still sold enough. If they are going to drop the price this won't have much of anything to do with it.

But they didn't fail. I check them every day, more than once, and the charts indicted it was a very close month between both systems.
PS4 has more of an edge this month thus far.
Trade-in deals probably.
Xbox sales have been consistent... ps4 sales likely dropped off
I don't know. I don't think those Xbox deals are in play for May at all. So it could be a toss up. June will be HUGE for the PS4 with the Batman bundle.
Seems like you are wrong
Wow that's really low.
It should be 187k for One

Weird for them to win this month..
I'm honestly considering selling mine if e3 doesnt blow me away. They have been more bullish on price though. Sony should probably hit $350 with a game for e3 to keep the momentum going.

Yup. Likely everything dropped and those deals put it over the PS4. Interested to see PS4 numbers now.

Hardware is flat vs YA. PS4 last year was very similar.

Glad I didn't predict this month.
Couldn't even begin to think how I would survive my brackets getting combo breakered the way so many others are right now.
Good lord, I need to curl up into a fetus.
Should be a DAMN interesting NPD thread tho!

Going to be very bad month for hardware. How was last years April?
Why would you sell yours? It's not like games aren't coming to it. Plenty to play throughout the year.
Definitely sounds that way

They are handily slapping around MS around worldwide, selling masses of software and hardware, making tons of money. Nobody is sitting on their ass, they had a gameplan and didn't need to change it.
I still don't see Sony dropping the price before the holidays, I suspect it will be a marginal win, maybe Cboats 7-10k will finally be right. Its good for MS though

Actually this is the most HW units sold in April since 2012.
They are still preordering batman ps4s. Will they release in april or june
One didnt break 200k means ps4 dropped a lot

"Winning" during one of the slowest months all year doesn't mean much but a symbolic victory.
They gain maybe 50k unit sales over ps4 in the end?

What was last years?
Sony -
We also reached out to Sony for a comment.
It’s important to note that Sony is saying that PlayStation as a whole, which include PS4, PS3, and Vita, is leading software sales. That isn’t surprising considering how well new games are selling on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and considering the lead Sony’s system has over the competition.

Its more personal preference. I play retro games, counter strike go on PC, and my ps4. The xb1 hasn't been plugged in for a few months.

Combined HW?

Units, yeah.
Xbox One has now exceeded 7 million sales in the USA after 18 months.
The Xbox 360 took 24 months to achieve this milestone, the PS3 took 27 months, the Wii took 14 months and the PS4 took 16 months.
The combined total of PS4 and Xbox One and Wii U in the USA has now exceeded 19 million units.

Then I completely understand and don't blame you honestly.
Fyi, these were jvm's guesses for April 2012
360 = 236K
PS3 = 175K
3DS = 125K
WII = 91K
NDS = 80K
PSV = 75K
PSP = 15K
