XBox One outselling the PS4 in Americas is quite surprising!
Yeah, I'm not a fan of MS at all, but Sony's deals just were not there this holiday season.
I don't think the sales gap between the two in the US has ever been that big. It's just that for some reason Europe either really likes Sony or really dislikes Microsoft, and I don't think sales have even reached a quarter of a million in Japan.
It seems that PS4 sales go down a bit faster than I expected. PS3 sold 560K in the week ending December 15, 2012 (one year before PS4 launch, mainly because PS Move).
Move was released in 2010. If the Move had any long term positive effects on PS3 sales, it was long over by then. There are no move exclusive games in the top 50, so I doubt that was the main reason it was selling.
