Xbox One outselling Playstation 4

In a bid to attract customers before the holidays and solidify a recent Xbox One sales boom that won’t go unnoticed by rivals, Microsoft Corp. is giving away two different special editions of the game Assassin’s Creed: Assassin’s Creed Unity and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, when purchasing the new Xbox One, with or without Kinect set-up.

Michael Pachter an analyst for Wedbush Morgan, recently revealed that Microsoft’s game giveaways have been hitting the target as far as sales are concerned. While Xbox One might have up until now trailed Sony Playstation 4 in terms of sales, Pachter reported that in September Xbox One outsold Playstation 4 by 325,000 to 250,000. It’s believed that this is only the second time that Xbox One has sold more consoles than PS4 in one month since their inception.
