The NPD Group has released its latest sales report for the US video game industry, this time for April 2014 showing that Sony’s PS4 is going quite strong! Also we  included the full list of best-selling software which you can view down below.

Senior Vice President of PlayStation Brand Marketing,Guy Longworth, shared with us that the PS4 has beat its rival, the Xbox One, for the fourth month in a row. Making  inFAMOUS: Second Son holding its own within the top 10 for the United States. It’s amazing to see Sony hardware and software sales rapidly raise up every month.

The April NPD report confirmed that PlayStation 4 was the top selling next generation console and remains the cumulative leader. in addition, inFAMOUS: Second Son was the top selling next gen software title in April.

Since PS4 launched last november, over 7 million consumers have enjoyed the rich and immersive gameplay, powerful graphics and deeply integrated social features only available on PlayStation. Demand for PS4 continues to outstrip supply and we’re working incredibly hard to provide additional inventory.

We’d like to thank the PlayStation Nation for their amazing support and we’re looking forward to sharing exciting news at E3 next month.

 

Thanks to the continued success of the PlayStation 4, the Video game hardware sale raised up to 76% in April 2014, with a  revenue of $192.8 million.
