PlayStation 4 Destroys Xbox One 3-To-1 In January

The "made for gamers" console has been miles ahead of the competition and has been able to sell more than 36 million units and that is a whole lot more than its rivals, Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Xbox One and Nintendo Co.

With the PlayStation 4 topping the consoles' sales for January, it has also been revealed that the combined sales of Sony's console and the Xbox One is predicted to touch 150 million in 2019. The system originally launched with a higher price tag than the PS4, and Xbox Live is also more expensive than PS Plus. According to the report, the average Xbox One player spends $1.25 to every $1 that a PS4 gamer spends, good for an increase of 25% in favor of the Xbox gamer.

But this is still something positive for Xbox One and Microsoft because it is growing its ARPU lead over Sony.

Still, Ubisoft's revenue split suggests the Xbox One may be more attractive to publishers than its raw hardware sales numbers indicate. Ubisoft didn't dive into the "why" of the question, but it's clear that the higher spending average mean publishers aren't forgetting about the Xbox One despite its substantially smaller market share.
