Despite the Xbox One’s impressive sales back in April, the PlayStation 4 has retaken its position at the top of the market. Sony reported yesterday that the PlayStation 4 was the best-selling console last month, as well as the best-selling console overall for this generation, with more than 20 million PlayStation 4 units having been sold since launch. That number is only going to increase, especially considering all the big announcements that Sony will undoubtedly have at E3 next week.

Xbox One sales in April gave Microsoft a glimmer of hope in the console market, but the PlayStation 4 retook the top position in the U.S. last month, according to Sony. The PS4 was the top-selling console and the leader in software sales in the U.S. in May, Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) said. It did not specify the source of its data. “PS4 continues to be the cumulative sales leader in the U.S. and globally with more than 20 million consoles already in the market,” Sousuke Kamei, a spokesman at SCE headquarters in Tokyo, said via email. The company will share news about what’s next for the console at the E3 video game expo on June 15. The statement from Sony is a sign of the incredibly tight competition in the gaming market as both titans vie for consumers’ dollars. Mike Nichols, corporate vice president for Xbox marketing at Microsoft, said in an emailed statement that sales of Xbox One consoles in the U.S. were up 81 percent in May compared to the same month in 2014.
