SONY, THE LONG-TIME MANUFACTURER OF THE POPULAR PLAYSTATION CONSOLE, HAS TAKEN THE LEAD; AGAIN.
Since its launch November 2013 in North America, the company is reporting a whopping 30.2 million consoles sold to date, prior to Black Friday.
Microsoft did perform well in November, however, citing that “last month was our best November ever in the US for Xbox One, setting new records for console sales.”
Apparently beating the Japanese manufacturer in October in sales was not enough, as they have taken a back seat back into the number two position in units sold.
Microsoft led the charge in its launch of the X-box One with bundle after bundle, and also cutting its original price of the unit from $499 to $349, and then another $50 on Black friday, to $299. Often times with a choice of game(s).
Sony has quickly met that offer, and has risen to meet the special deal. The price tag on their unit is currently sitting at $299 with the choice of the Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection (3 games) or Star Wars Battlefront.
Supply and demand seems to be copacetic compared to last year’s launch of both consoles, where demand was too high and units were sparse.
Either way, for us, it is getting next gen tech into our hands at affordable prices. That is the bottom line.
Sony has the crown, for now. Your move, Microsoft.
