The dispute between Sony and Microsoft gained a new chapter in early 2014. During CES, Sony revealed that the PlayStation 4 reached the impressive milestone of 4.2 million units sold by the end of 2013. The console hit the market on November 15 and quickly won over players around the world.
Meanwhile, Microsoft announced just days earlier that the Xbox One had sold 3 million units since its launch on November 22. Despite the solid performance, the difference in the number of countries in which each console was available influenced the results.
The Xbox One launched in 13 countries , while the PS4 already had a presence in over 30 markets . This geographic advantage helped Sony expand its player base more quickly, cementing an early lead in the new generation of consoles.
With this fierce competition, expectations for 2014 were that both companies would invest heavily in new games and exclusive features to attract even more fans. The console war was just beginning, and gamers would be the big beneficiaries.
