“Xbox One sales are on a positive trajectory, nearly doubling sales in August in the U.S. compared to July due in part to strong demand for the Xbox One Madden NFL 15’bundle. The holiday season is upon us we’re looking forward to bringing the best value bundles, incredible offers like the ‘Buy a Console Get a Game Free’ promotion running now and more great games as we gear up for the launches of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Sunset Overdrive, Forza Horizon 2, Destiny, Grand Theft Auto V and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.”

Below are the PlayStation highlights from the August NPD report:

· PlayStation 4 was #1 in hardware sales for the eighth consecutive month and remains the cumulative leader for next generation game consoles.

· PlayStation led the month for next generation software with Madden NFL 15 for PS4 taking the #1 spot for overall software sales.

· Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Ultimate Evil Edition and Madden NFL 15 had their strongest sales on PS4 and were the biggest third party releases of the month.

· The Last of Us Remastered continues to have strong momentum on PS4; it was the top selling first-party title in August.

· For the third consecutive month, PlayStation was #1 in combined home console hardware sales (PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3)

Fuck yeah.

So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

And still second? The PS4 must have got a serious boost as well. (And vgchartz seems to be off pretty hard if this is right)

And yet, PS4 still came out as #1. Interesting... I'm suspicious that MS is referring sales as shipments.

Wow, I just now realized that VGC numbers are from August 23rd.

Did they give up or something? That is pretty far back.

Seece said that ioi is on holiday.

No way XBO doubled, that means PS4 would have to sell close to 300k to win the month. Doesn't make any sense for both consoles to get such huge boosts.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
