Yesterday, the NPD results revealed that the Xbox One and Xbox 360 were the top selling consoles for each generation in the U.S. during the month of December. An estimated 908,000 Xbox One consoles were sold, with Xbox 360 contributing 643,000 boxes. As you’d guess, this caused both sides of the bloody console war to express some harsh opinions, but Microsoft evangelist Major Nelson has come out to squash the beef between the feuding families.
“Both new platforms are off to a great start. We all should be celebrating a healthy vibrant industry,” he wrote on Reddit. “Sony has done a good job and they should be commended. The hate that infects gaming in the online space needs to go away.”
Both consoles are off to a great start and in the eyes of Major Nelson, this can only be a good thing for our young industry.
“Sony will sell a ton. We will sell a ton,” he continued. “The industry is doing well…and consumers have choice.”
As of now, the PlayStation 4 has the hardware lead, pushing 4.2 million units by the end of 2013.
