I guess Project Cars didn't go as projected.

PS4 #1?

I thought Xbone would win this one as well. I was considering the possibility that Xbone would give a bigger fight in the US than it currently does considering the past month win. Perhaps Xbone will be majorily a holidays console this generation unless something dramatic happens, like Minecraft 2 exclusive and everybody wants it.

Maybe the NPD of last month was for PS4 as some people suggested: NPD fixing some error in numbers or something?

How is that a spin?

Would you prefered they stayed quited?

I know, Boutros is a legend... :P

I..don't see the spin here. They give a percentage of growth every time there is growth.

It's nice to see PS4 back on top and leading in software sales.

Without last year "pretended exclusive" Whatchdogs PS4 lost a lot of momentum this year.

Numbers are not fantastic all around, and it´s far from crushing competition as it was praised here 2 years ago after the Microsoft "Pearl Harbor" E3.

No, last month there was a confluence of factors that worked in Xb one's favour: Some retailer specials, Batman special edition bundle (shifting sales from April to June), and perhaps one or two other things. The only chance Xb one had of winning May was if those facotrs favouring Xb one bled into May in a significant way, which they clearly did not. PS4 winning the USA is the new normal outside of the holidays. When the stars align for Xb one it will win the occasional non-holiday month. If PS4 has price parity with Xb one this holidays it's possible Xb one won't even win all the holiday months.

XBO did much better than May 2014!

I'm guessing we won't see another XBO win until the holidays.

Maybe XBO can win August, because i expect a PS4 pricedrop in September that will eat all August sales, and is even the Madden month... MAYBE.

Great games, hype, gamers first mentality, friends on that system, etc, etc. It could be a number of reasons; usually a combination rather than one. I just hope Sony does announce a pricecut for E3; 1TB being one of the biggest high notes of their press conference. I know it will have been almost two years if it is not announced, but I personally do not believe that Sony will ease up on the brakes. As you have stated, Microsoft does have momentum, and for them, I want that to continue. For Sony, it will be time to hit high gear since they do not have much to fall back on for the remainder of this year; God of War 3 Remastered and The Uncharted Collection not being accounted for.
