After its Chinese debut in March, the PlayStation 4 has rushed to meet and exceed the sales of its competitor, the Xbox One. Combined with the PlayStation Vita, Sony has quickly made a deep impact that has quickly overtaken almost eight months of Microsoft's marketing efforts.
K73 suspects that the lead is due to the availability of Dynasty Warriors on the PS4, perhaps due to the familiarity of Chinese writer Luo Guanzhong's historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, on which the story is based.

The numbers reported in the chart specify online and retail units that are in the hands of end users, and although Microsoft has shipped 100k Xbox One consoles in its first month, these have not yet been sold through.

Please note that details of this story have been attained through a web translation of a Chinese news site, and we will update as soon as possible when a localized source is available.
