After four months on top, Xbox has been dethroned as the best-selling console of the month.
In November, the PlayStation 4 became the best-selling console of the month because of things like the PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation VR, and a number of Black Friday deals that bundled games like Uncharted 4 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare for incredibly low prices.
Yesterday we reported that the console hit 50 million units sold to consumers, making it 30 million away from reaching the lifetime numbers of the PlayStation 3. Despite not having many exclusives this holiday season,it appears that the fastest selling console will finish 2016 strong.
Xbox's Mike Nichols commented on the strong sales for gaming consoles stating they're very pleased with how November went for them.
“We have seen strong momentum for Xbox One since announcing the new Xbox One S at E3 in June,” Nichols said. “That momentum continued in November as gaming consoles were once again among the most sought-after products to buy over Black Friday weekend. In addition, we saw record engagement among Xbox One owners on Xbox Live as fans enjoyed new games and great deals. In fact, the total players online on Sunday, November 27 was up 40 percent compared to last year.”
