Sony's PlayStation 4 game console reached new heights in February selling more of the game console than competitor Microsoft's Xbox One for the second consecutive month The Seattle Times reported Monday. The game console also came out on top in 2013 for selling the most machines
Sales figures show Sony had more sales of its game console over Microsoft's Xbox One in a two to one ratio.
"PS4 led hardware sales in February 2014, but by a narrow margin with Xbox One selling over 90 percent of what the PS4 sold in terms of unit sales," Liam Callahan, an analyst at NPD Group said in a press release The Times reported. "However, with Xbox One's higher price point it led hardware sales on a dollar basis."
The game console has eight x86 CPU-codes titled Jaguar, and is manufactured from Advanced Micro Devices according to Network World. It also comes equipped with upgraded graphics co-processors capable of handling 1.84 teraflops of performance according to information from Tech Hive.
The machine has 500 gigabyte hard drive that can play blu-ray DVDs. There are also eight gigabytes of GDDR5 memory or quick network speed random access memory found in graphics cards. Game makers put 176 gigabytes of network speed a second on the machine since they wanted the computer to run faster.
Sony's previous game console models are the PSone, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation 3 in various sizes. There is also the Playstation Vita, which users can hold by hand.
The Xbox One has an improved kinect sensor, which enables players to operate the device just by talking. Individuals can also connect the console to their satellite television equipment in order to watch TV, and flip back and forth between gaming, and viewing shows USA Today reported.
