Xbox One finally breaks the PS4’s winning streak, sells 1.2 million consoles in November.

After an 11-month run at the top of the SALES charts, the Xbox One finally outsold the PS4 in November in the US and UK. In the US alone, Xbox One SALES totaled an impressive 1.2 million units in November. We don’t have a specific figure for PS4 sales during the same period, but it was probably very close — 1 million units at least, at an educated guess. Is this a sign that a turnaround is on the books — did the library of Xbox One games hit critical mass? — or is it just the predictable result of the deep DISCOUNTS that Microsoft has been pushing for the last couple of months?

Last month, as you might expect with the orgiastic excesses of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, was a massive month for every console in the US — but according to the third-party MARKET research firm NPD, Microsoft’s Xbox One came out on top. In a separate interview, an Xbox exec confirmed with Gamespot that the Xbox One was indeed the top dog in November. Sadly, neither Sony or NPD has released any data for the PS4 — but hey, after months of Microsoft reticence, I guess it’s time for Sony to be the silent and brooding one.
