"Sony and Microsoft are both trumpeting market share wins from NPD\u2019s January US gaming data. Sony declared its PlayStation 4 the top-selling console last month, while Microsoft took credit for selling the most games.\r\nThis just in: PS4 the #1 selling game console in the US in January, still #1 worldwide. Thanks, guys! pic.twitter.com/1vOFmtUukX\r\n\r\n\u2014 PlayStation (@PlayStation) February 13, 2014\r\nSony\u2019s success with the PS4 has managed to dethrone the Xbox 360, which was NPD\u2019s highest-selling console for years. The company claims its latest console outsold the Xbox One by two-to-one.\r\n\r\nMicrosoft noted in a blog post that the Xbox One has sold 2.29 times faster than the Xbox 360 during its first three months in the market. NPD estimates that consumers bought a total of 2.27 million games for both Xbox One and Xbox 360 in January for a 47 percent market share.\r\n\r\nHowever, Microsoft's declaration of victory has been called into question, as a Sony spokesperson told Venturebeat\u00A0that the PS4 also won on game sales. That's despite Microsoft's own headline: &amp;quot;Xbox One Leads US Game Sales in January.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nEither way, Sony does appear to have won the first leg of this generation's console wars. The two rivals will face off in a second stage next month when blockbuster exclusives\u00A0Titanfall and Infamous: Second Son\u00A0arrive on the Xbox One and PS4, respectively."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
