PS4 leads hardware sales, Titanfall rules software
Five months in, the PS4 and Xbox One are out-performing initial sales of the PS3 and Xbox 360, NPD Group's Liam Callahan says: "When comparing the first five months of sales for the Xbox One and PS4 to their predecessor's first five months, total Xbox One and PS4 sales are up close to 60 percent."
Xbox One has shipped 5 million Xbox One consoles, with 311,000 sales in the US in March alone, Microsoft announced today: "Of course, we're just getting started with this generation and the months ahead will bring several announcements we think you'll love. The team will continue to deliver regular improvements and new features based on your feedback through frequent system updates .... We can't wait to share more games with you in June at E3."
On April 16, Sony announced that PS4 sales had passed 7 million.
Titanfall was the top-selling game for the month, launching for Xbox One and PC on March 11. It is the second-highest selling game for Xbox One after just one month on the market. It was followed by Infamous: Second Son, South Park: The Stick of Truth, Call of Duty: Ghosts and Dark Souls 2. See the complete game sales list below. On PC, Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls sold the most on a unit and dollar-amount basis.
Software sales declined 27 percent overall. "Year-over-year sales of every platform declined from March 2013, with the exception of the PS Vita, which saw sales grow due to the release of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster," Callahan said.
Sales of video game accessories in March rose 4 percent, led by sales of controllers for Xbox One and PS4, NPD says. Other notable accessories included Turtle Beach headphones and headsets for next-gen consoles. Turtle Beach sales grew 50 percent year-over-year.

They play games in no different ways, i don't know why people say which one is better.
I agree. I myself have never understood this either. I use to have both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Same concept just newer technology.
The only difference is the name, console case and controller.
I agree, just these kids love to argue over the internet so let them be.
I totally agree with all of you guys
It's true though, they have no business with the companies just that they play on one of them.
This is pretty awkward because i used to be like these kids and argue over consoles with my friends in school. Hehe
Same here but I outgrown doing those childish things.
I don't get your point. There's nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. I am no child and still yet me and my boys get together and talk about which console might turn out to be better or which is better. It's just about what you prefer. Two people making an open discussion on a debate is not being immature or childish more of expanding your knowledge and enhancing your knowledge upon each system. That was a very moot point.
