It's a tight race between PS4 and Xbox One in the US

Last year's holiday sales were pretty close.

December usually means very good sales for video games. In the US, Sony seems to have won the sales race between consoles according to Windows Central, but not by as much as one might have thought given the fact that they brought the new PlayStation 4 Pro to market, and released a slimline version of the original PS4.

Xbox One reportedly sold 1,511,000 units, and that includes both the original version as well as the slimmed S. That is up 10% from December 2015. Sony on their part sold 1,568,000 consoles during the same period, which includes the regular PlayStation 4, the Slim version, and the Pro. PS4 Pro accounted for 238,000 of those units, which may be a bit less than Sony anticipated.
