After crossing 7 million sold worldwide, the PS4 once again took top spot in hardware during the month of March 2014, according to the NPD’s latest report.
Looking at the overall sales in March 2014, the industry saw total sales of $1.03 billion, an increase of 3% over March 2013. The rise was thanks to hardware shooting up 78% to $395 million, while accessories helped by rising 4% to $224 million. Much to no one’s surprise, software dropped 28% to $432 million, despite a whole bunch of new releases.
NPD analyst Liam Callahan had this to say about the results:
PS4 and Xbox One continue to see success with cumulative sales of the two consoles through the first five months currently totaling more than double that of their predecessors, the PS3 and Xbox 360.
