Microsoft has revealed that the Xbox One managed to defeat the PlayStation 4 in December. The victory is only for the U.S. territory, but still a significant one since it is the second time the console has come out victorious in its own market for 2014.
Last year, the PlayStation 4 was the bestselling console in the market for 10 straight months. No one thought Microsoft would ever come out on top, not even after the company released a second SKU for $399 that did not consist of the Kinect 2.0 camera.
"Building off a record-setting holiday, we are excited to announce a new promotion in which fans in the U.S. can buy an Xbox One at a special price of $349, starting tomorrow, Jan. 16, from their preferred retailer," said Xbox corporate vice president of marketing Mike Nichols. "We are thankful for all the excitement for Xbox One this holiday and proud to offer more fans the amazing games lineup, Xbox Live gaming community, and continual innovation that Xbox One fans have come to enjoy."
