PlayStation 4 vs Xbox 360 in the US Sales Comparison - PS4 Falls Further Behind in July 2020 

This monthly series compares the aligned US sales of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360.

PS4 Vs. X360 US:

Gap change in latest month: 342,432 – X360

Gap change over last 12 months: 3,315,099 - X360

Total Lead: 1,327,469 - X360

X360 Total Sales: 35,113,500

PS4 Total Sales: 33,786,031

July 2020 is the 81st month that the PlayStation 4 has been available for in the US. During the latest month, the gap in the US between the PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360 grew in favor of the Xbox 360 when you align launches. The Xbox 360 sold 342,432 more units than the PlayStation 4. In the last 12 months, the Xbox 360 has sold 3.32 million more units than the PlayStation 4. The Xbox 360 currently leads by 1.33 million units.

The PlayStation 4 launched in the US on November 15, 2013, while the Xbox 360 launched on November 22, 2005. This does mean the holiday periods between the consoles do lineup.

The 81st month for the PlayStation 4 is July 2020 and for the Xbox 360 it is July 2012.The PlayStation 4 has sold 33.79 million units, while the Xbox 360 sold 35.11 million units during the same timeframe.

The Xbox 360 sold 45.14 million units lifetime in the US. The PlayStation 4 needs to sell another 11.35 million units to surpass the Xbox 360 in the US.

The PS4 is losing this one. The 360 still has another 16 months before the XOne launched and Halo 4 came out within that time. 

On a side not, I think a Switch vs 360 in the US comparison would be very interesting, if you haven’t done that already.
