It was bound to happen sooner or later, but the news is out and Microsoft are slowly catching up with Sony sales of the PS4, with their Xbox One.

“Coinciding with the release of these highly-rated exclusives and others like Madden NFL 16 and Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, Xbox One continued to gain momentum in August, with sales in the US up 26% over August 2014,” Xbox marketing executive Mike Nichols said in a statement.

“With more of the greatest games lineup in Xbox history, support for Xbox 360 games, the New Xbox One Experience system update in November alongside Xbox One Backward Compatibility and award-winning Xbox Elite Wireless Controller to follow this holiday, we’re excited to further build on this momentum in the months to come.” (Digital Spy)

With the massive price cuts of the Xbox One, and loads of console exclusives, it’s no surprise. We still do think that in the end, PS4 will come out victorious as there is a massive gap in sales to fill for the Xbox One.
