PS4 once again beats Xbox One sales in March 2016

Back in March 2015, the PlayStation 4 officially outsold the Xbox One, according to the NPD Group findings. March 2016 was no different for Sony, they once again outsold the Xbox One with the PlayStation 4 in retail stores, not in digital sales.

“Thank you to our fans and partners for making PlayStation 4 the top-selling console and software sales leader for the month of March, as well as the number-one console for fans of The Division, according to NPD," said Sony to NPD Group. "We are truly humbled by the success and look forward to delivering more amazing gaming experiences throughout 2016, including the launch of PlayStation VR this October.”

While Sony has outsold Microsoft when it comes to hardware sales, it doesn't mean that Sony is doing stellar in sales. Both companies are seeing a decline in revenue when it comes to hardware, a decline that can't be blamed on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 being unfavorable. The PS4 and Xbox One are being purchased at cheaper prices, which could very well be a reason for the companies to move towards upgraded consoles.

Microsoft and Sony have seen rumors of upraded consoles. Sony has been rumored to be working on a PS4 version that supports 4K and Microsoft's plans for an upgrade were recently suggested by FCC filings.
