PlayStation 4 Outsold Xbox One and Switch in October (venturebeat.com)

October was a huge month for both software and hardware, and -- once again -- Sony is benefiting from that excitement. PlayStation 4 outperformed the Xbox One and Nintendo Switch both in terms of dollars and units sold in October. That's according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. From a report: And as is usual for PlayStation 4, it is still seeing year-over-year growth, according to NPD analyst Mat Piscatella. "PlayStation 4 hardware unit sales achieved an all-time October high for the platform," Piscatella said. "While PlayStation 4 hardware dollar sales reached its highest point for an October month since October 2014." This was actually one of the best Octobers for any PlayStation console ever. "October 2018 unit sales of PlayStation 4 reached the highest mark for any PlayStation hardware platform in an October month since the PlayStation 2 in October 2002," said Piscatella.

I loved PS until the PS4, due to the inability to play music of any kind (CDs, MP3s MP4...), without paying for some music service. They literally sold hardware that was limited by software that required regular money. Not sure why they outsold Xbox1.

Hell I only bought Xbox because PS decided to NOT allow Rocket League to be played on a PS3 (of which I had). So I bought an Xbox1 simply to say 'f_ck you' to PS. Also because I HAD to have ROCKET LEAGUE!!!!!!

Microsoft are hated for far more than the anti-trust issue. Their latest OS is not infected with malware, it IS malware. Everyone here could list many many examples of Microsoft screwing their customers and business partners.

Yes, Sony sucks. Microsoft is even worse.
