Microsoft (MSFT) and Sony (SNE) hit the market with their next-generation video game systems in November, and both consoles got off to blazing starts. The initial supply of Xbox One and PlayStation 4 systems sold out ahead of the holiday shopping season, and both platforms seemed neck-and-neck in the battle for gaming supremacy.

However, now that we're five months removed from the hype, we're seeing a clear favorite emerge. Sony claims to have sold 7 million PS4 systems to consumers, and Microsoft revealed late last week that it has shipped just 5 million systems that have been sold to retailers. In other words, the gap of actual ownership is actual wider than the difference of 2 million consoles. Microsoft may have led Sony in the previous generation, but it's coming up short this time around.

Everybody on here knows the sales difference between the two so, no offense, but what's the point of posting this?

I know Sony is winning but are they using NPD Numbers for the 7th gen and global numbers for the 8th gen?

honestly, i found it lol worthy that a news outlet declared a "clear winner" so early in the gen...

As the ms employees would say... its not a sprint, its a marathon!!!

And I agree, though sadly the WiiU is limping.

That was not true... PS4 sold close to 2:1 in the holiday season even heavly supply coinstrained.

Not lol, but doooooommmmm lol.

Ok jokes aside its telling though how the market sees things, PS4 is the winner.  X1 is being viewd more and more as the loser.

Not posative pr for them.

T_T true true... But I wouldn't blame the wiiu if the coach is the one that shot its legs before the race even begun

The winner is clearly Ouya:P
