Xbox makes huge numbers beating PS4 sales last month by becoming the top seller in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia.
Microsoft's Xbox deals came in front of Sony PS4 sales in the month of October, as per information from the industry-following firm The NPD Group. This is definitely an advancement that followed after the Xbox One S promotions. As indicated by GfK Entertainment UK Microsoft also demands that Xbox One was the smash hit seller in the UK and Australia.


Xbox One has outflanked PlayStation 4 in the United States for four months in a row, ever since their debut in 2013.


This is what Mike Nichols from Microsoft's Xbox team stated regarding the news:


"Thanks to the passion of Xbox fans worldwide and their continued excitement for Xbox One S, Xbox One was once again the best-selling console in October in the U.S., U.K. and Australia according to NPD Group and GfK Entertainment. Xbox One has been the best-selling console in the U.S. for the past four months, and in the U.K. and Australia in each of the last two months."


However, things could take a turn after the release of PlayStation 4 Pro. Chances are that the ongoing impulse could shift from Microsoft to Sony. PlayStation4 Pro spotlights on playing games and video content at 4K resolution, This is an all the more intense and updated form of the current PlayStation. The only way for Microsoft to maintain this success is the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility update they put forward. More and more games are released in this update every week. This month has proven useful for Xbox fans in this scenario. Players are suggesting their old games to be included in this upgrade.

Microsoft's next move is The Xbox One Project Scorpio. But it is scheduled to release on the Holidays of 2017.
