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.

You think February was bad, wait until March numbers roll in, it's going to be a blood bath.

@SavageEvil: It might be a blood bath in terms of sales, but not in terms of bullets fired in halo multiplied by total hours driving in forza.

@SavageEvil: Don't forget about the Switch. March could be a very interesting month in that regard, as well as the months to come.

@thekittenofwar: I've got a Switch, got it day one. Nice system and the Console/Handheld hybrid is going to bring in a lot of people who only play handhelds. This means Monster Hunter on the big screen, finally! Switch isn't going to do much to Sony's sales though, software is on Sony's side they've literally got mountains of things for nearly every persuasion to get into, this is the true power behind Sony's juggernaut sales.

Horizon Zero Dawn has been selling out on Amazon, which is incredible for a brand new IP, Nier, Nioh and others have been doing their thing. Look at that a bunch of different games, you'll definitely find something you want at Sony's shop. It's almost like they just let developers put what they want out there and see if the people like it.

@sellingthings: Considering that 150 million PS2 sold before the market got this huge, you are off your rocker if you think enough PS4's have sold. Not even close, the world has almost 7 billion on it and only about 1 percent bought a PS4. Switch will change the handheld market for sure, console market highly doubtful. CoD will not be bought in droves on that thing, complain all you want CoD is still the market juggernaut even at half force it still dominates it's closest rival in yearly sales.

@drprophecy: Myst busters is about a bunch of nostalgic PC gamers that hated the game Myst so they go around and try to find anyone who still has a physical copy and they try to destroy it, exact reasons are rumored to only become clear in the series finale.

LMFAO one of the biggest games on Xbox is what a 7 year old game. GTFOH.

Its always funny too when MS releases the absolute dumbest stats. GTA4 sales increased 1,000% duh, when no one was buying the game the week before its going go crazy when it sells 1000 units. Kind of like when steam do 75% off where does those games go? Straight to the top of the sales chart.

"while global unique multiplayer users reached 35 percent-plus growth compared to last year" that's because you dtopped the price to basically free over the holiday and sold more dust boxes than the previous year. of course its going to rise morons. The real question, hows that revenue? Since you basically giving them away for free?
