According to the latest data from research firm NPD Group, during the month of February, Sony's Playstation 4 achieved slightly better sales than its big rival, the Xbox One of Microsoft.
The figures relate to the United States market.
In her statement, NPD Group does not make a clear reference to sales figures, stating that Xbox One achieved 90% of sales volume achieved by PS4.
Then followed Microsoft's announcement that 258.000 Xbox One was being sold in February, when it came to the conclusion that PS4 sales reached 287.000 units.
However, as the NPD Group notes, the two consoles are available on the market at a significant price difference, as the Xbox One costs 500 dollars, while PS4 starts with 400 dollars.
In this way the value of sales of each is quite different.
At the same time, Microsoft announced that it also sold 114.000 Xbox 360 consoles in February in the US, indicating the presence of this platform in the market for 100 consecutive months.
Overall, the US market moved up by 42% over the same period last year and by 44% over the previous month. The overall market for consoles, mobile devices and PCs has dropped 11% compared to February 2013 and 41% increase relative to January 2014.
Total market profits amounted to 328 million dollars, versus 232 million dollars in January.
In addition, Microsoft has also released data on software sales for its consoles. In particular, Xbox One "sells" 2,75 game titles for each console.
