“As we head into E3, we would like to thank gamers for making PS4 the top-selling console and the leader in software sales in the U.S. in May,” a Sony spokesperson said.

Microsoft touted growth in sales and its community — even if it was second to Sony for the month.

“Xbox One and Xbox Live continue to see strong growth in sales and engagement. Xbox One sales in the U.S. were up 81 percent over May 2014 and active global Xbox Live members, Xbox One and Xbox 360, were up 20 percent,” a Microsoft spokesperson said. “We are grateful to our fans for choosing Xbox One and for making Xbox Live the fun and vibrant community that is. We can’t wait to share more on the greatest games lineup in Xbox history at E3 next week.”

Xbox One: 139k
PlayStation 4: >139k

The PS4 version outsold the Xbox One version for every game in the top 10 list that is available on both with the exception of Minecraft.

From that Venture Beat Article

"After the Xbox One surprised everyone by outselling thePS4 in April, Sony has come charging back to own hardware sales in May, according to data from research firm The NPD Group. The Japanese publisher has confirmed to GamesBeat that its PS4 system outsold the competition in the United States, which is where NPD tracks sales. With the $55 billion worldwide console-gaming market up for grabs, it’s essential for Sony to keep its lead in sales."

These people are pretty stupid. the worldwide console market isn't up for grabs, so it's not essential for Sony to keep its sales lead in the USA.

AND Xb one winning April was not a surprise to anyone who tracks Amazon.

But I also note the only direct Sony quote is “PS4 continues to be the cumulative sales leader in the US and globally with more than 20 million consoles already in the market,” When Sony says "cumulative sales leader" that usually means another console was #1 for the month. So has VB misinterpretted Sony's statement or has there been more definitive confirmation?
