New @npdgroup data shows @Xbox One best selling US console 4th month in a row. Thanks for also making us #1 console in UK & Australia!

The Xbox One was October's best-selling console, according to a statement from Microsoft.

"Xbox One was once again the best-selling console in October in the U.S., U.K. and Australia," according to results given to Microsoft by The NPD Group and GfK Entertainment.

October marks the fourth consecutive month Xbox One bested PS4 in US sales, and the second month for the UK and Australia. In July, Xbox One was the top selling 8th-generation console, but that month saw the Nintendo 3DS at the top of overall console sales.

Microsoft said the launches of Gears of War 4 and Battlefield 1 helped drive console sales, with Gears of War 4 coming in as the number one "platform-exclusive title for October" in both the US and UK. Microsoft credited both Gears and Battlefield with increasing the number of multiplayer gamers on Xbox Live by 52 percent over the same period last year.

At the end of last month, Microsoft revealed its holiday Xbox One bundles, including Gears, Battlefield, Minecraft, and FIFA options.

The full NPD numbers for the US won't be released until next Thursday

Congrats! They did a really good job making their hardware more attractive.

bananafactory · Nov 10, 2016

Well deserved. X1S is a great machine.

oneida · Nov 10, 2016

deserved

TechnicPuppet · Nov 10, 2016

Well done, they've been doing most things right for a long time now.

Jawmuncher · Nov 10, 2016

Bundle wise Xbox One has been offering better choices. Wondering how Black Friday will be.

Captain Zyrain · Nov 10, 2016

Crazy turn around.

alr1ght · Nov 10, 2016

I know it's true, but seeing it come from Greenberg leaves me with a hesitation and his never-ending need to spin.

Love my Xbox One S.

XBOX ONE S IS A BEAST

Is this a meme now?

I keep thinking about whether I want a XB1 or not, it feels harder every month now with no Halo in my life lol.

black070 · Nov 10, 2016

Expected, November is where things will get interesting.

Inuhanyou · Nov 10, 2016

Good job MS. The momentum is real. But can they keep it up with Pro launching this month? Will they indeed have a 5 month streak?

Hitokiri03 · Nov 10, 2016

wow

Congrats Xbox team.

Nirolak · Nov 10, 2016

Microsoft has proven pretty strong at recovering from fumbles throughout their presence in gaming.

I think it will serve them well in the long term.

Footos22 · Nov 10, 2016

Those games were not the main cause of increase. It was the ridiculously low fire sales they have been doing as of late. Its the only reason I bought one anyway.

OnionPowder · Nov 10, 2016

XB1 S is the PS3 slim of this generation so far

DieH@rd · Nov 10, 2016

It's time for Sony to start releasing 1st party games in holiday quarter.

oneida · Nov 10, 2016

nvm misread

McMoneyman · Nov 10, 2016

Shall be interesting to see what Sony's counter to this is.

Deserved though, haven't bought one yet. But might soon.

Sangetsu-II · Nov 10, 2016

Well, now the true test begins, will the XB1 S ever win another month from now on?

Tune in next month, on NPD!

Good on them though

kiguel182 · Nov 10, 2016

They have made their platform super appelative. Deserved for sure.

Yea. Gonna make a bold bet and say XB1 wins November and December. Correct me if I'm wrong but all the BF deals I've seen of the PS4 are with UC4.

I think the BF1 XB1 bundles will make it do bonkers.

Welfare · Nov 10, 2016

Don't call it a comeback. While sales are improving which is a great sign, the PS4 Pro will knock out the gap the XB1 has made back.

Darknight · Nov 10, 2016

Trump President and now this? Damn 1000 years of darkness is starting!

JK!

That isn't the reason.

jaypah · Nov 10, 2016

Impressive. They're making a play, I'll give them that. November and December is going to be a good fight though.

etta · Nov 10, 2016

Deserved.

Some awesome bf deals. $250 for the console plus bf1 plus a $40 target gift card. Crazy good value! Dell has a nice deal too.

Some PS4 deals have UC4 + giftcards with them too.

AndrewDean84xX · Nov 10, 2016

Any way to track PS VR sales? Those things aren't moving.

imjust1n · Nov 10, 2016

Us but global ps4 still wins

NPD is tracking it under accessories. Unless Sony want to talk about them we probably wont hear much.

Seems to be selling really well. What makes you think it isn't moving?

Proof?

Both Sku's are sold out on Amazon.

NOLA_Gaffer · Nov 10, 2016

It's kind of amazing how much last generation and this generation are practically flipped.

I'm sure NPD will have sales for data for them. Now what we actually get is another question. I figured it would be similar to Vive and Rift sales that just absolutely tanked after early adopters got theirs.

TharpDaddy · Nov 10, 2016

The S is a solid console. Cool to see it doing well.

imjust1n said:

Cool! This is the NPD thread though?

I'll have to add this to this months' analyst notes.

I don't think so meng. I think the Pro will do just fine, but $250 plus all the crazy bundles MS has put together is what's driving sales. 4 months in a row is not due to luck.
I'm just waiting to see how either of these companies shoots themselves in the foot. As the past has shown us, one of them most definitely will.
Edit

rice adjustment and things.

Vilix · Nov 10, 2016

I'm not surprised. I see adverts for the xos all over.

demigod · Nov 10, 2016

Next month they will be going back to MAUs.

This is a meme. Sony had a firesale before the slim launched and they never outsold XO.

ArchedThunder · Nov 10, 2016

I think Sony really messed up by not pricing the PS4 Slim at $250. We'll see what effect the Pro has, but I get the feeling the Xbox One has a real chance to take November and December as well.

i hope this helps you get some sleep!

blakep267 · Nov 10, 2016

I'm sure the pro will do numbers but I just think the slim PS4 offering is super weak in comparison to last year with battlefront and COD.
