The NPD released its report for July 2015, revealing sales for gaming hardware and software in the United States. Surprising no one, the PS4 was revealed to have topped sales charts, beating out the Xbox One for the third month in a row.
In a statement to GameSpot, Sony said that, “We are truly humbled by the success of the PS4 and we would like to thank gamers for making it the top selling console and #1 in software sales in the United States in July.
“The Batman: Arkham Knight PS4 bundle continues to be a top seller and we are looking forward to delighting fans next month with the launch of the Limited Edition Destiny: The Taken King PS4 bundle on September 15th.”
In terms of overall sales, the NPD revealed that console sales were up two percent over the same period last year. Previous gen console sales were down by 56 percent with the Xbox One and PS4 witnessing 50 percent better sales during their entire release period than the Xbox 360 and PS3 in the same time.
