PS4 Tops Xbox One In February 2017 US Sales

Sony's console came out on top for the second month of the year.

478 Comments

Extending its win streak another month, Sony's PlayStation 4 was the top-selling home console in the United States for February, according to NPD data released today.

Sony did not have a statement to share, but a representative confirmed that the PS4 was the No. 1 overall home console in the US in terms of sales for February.

No Caption Provided

In its own statement, Microsoft said global Xbox One game hours in February jumped 11 percent year-over-year, while global unique multiplayer users reached 35 percent-plus growth compared to last year. Xbox marketing boss Mike Nichols called out Halo Wars 2, For Honor, and Grand Theft Auto IV (in backwards compatibility) as helping drive engagement on Xbox One during the month.

A week from today, the NPD Group will announce the top-selling games for February 2017. We'll report back with more details as they become available.

And i thought the GS community slowly started to change for the better lol

Eddie just made an short article about the sales and he even didnt needed to flame the war,the trolls found the way out their caves where they hid several months long. I understand some wants to have a good time posting jokes but imo,some it seems doesnt have a good time in real life and compensate that here.

*Sad panda*

Damn...it's like they're scraping the bottom of the barrel to find something positive to report. Why don't you just share sale numbers. We already know you're behind so why hide it?

@louixiii: I would have respected MS more if they had not even stated that game hours are up by 11%. I would have just not commented if I were them lol.

@Barighm: How about announcing some games. I hope they have a killer E3 because it seems like Xbox is getting its royal ass kicked. And I bought an Xbox and now I regret it to be honest. I have a PC and should have bought a PS4.

@guitarist1980: they wouldn't announce games until e3 so that's a moot statement. Why do you regret buying a x1? Xbox just released a ton a great AAA games only mere months ago.

@sodapoppimpski: Only one I can think of is Horizon 3, unless you consider Gears good, or Halo wars. What tons of AAA games are you referring to that released in the last few months (which would be in 2017)?

@sodapoppimpski: I don't hate it,... its just almost a redundant system for me. Currently I am only using it for windows store movies and netflix. All the games it has are basically on PC so thats where I mainly game. If I bought a PS4 instead (which I will eventually) I would have had all... or most of the MS exclusives on PC and all of Sony's exclusives. I thought I would like the Xbox exclusives more than the PS4 exclusives like I did last generation. But as of now I don't think thats the case. I thought there would be more new and exciting stuff but its been mostly sequels and remasters.

@fedor: This guy has gotten the biggest idiot award, at least in this article imo. Maybe there's something generally wrong with him and I shouldn't be so mean lol. Or maybe humdinger is back with a new name.

@guitarist1980: "how about announcing some games"

Why do people keep saying this? As if they're going to announce a new game 3 months before E3 - can't you just wait.

@solid_snake1461: I never understood this hate. Is this opposed to uncharted 5, God of War 3, grand tourismo 10 kill zone 3 and so on. Why would you not continue to release games to series that are hits? It's not like xbox hasn't released new ips in the 2 years x1 released, they had quite a few new ips this gen.

@sodapoppimpski: Uncharted 5? You obviously never played 4. God of war is totally different than the previous ones. I agree with GT sport, but it's the first real racing game on ps4(VR too I think), so there's been a gap... Forza seems to come out every year.

@solid_snake1461: Nah, COD has switched sides to PS, and MS cancelled Scalebound because games can't keep Xbox users logged in enough so they had to put a 4K Bluray drive on XB1S to increase their logged in hours. lol

This will only be news if Sony is number 1 next month, if it outsells Nintendo I'll be impressed.
