The PlayStation 4 was the top selling console in August in the US, according to NPD and originally reported by VentureBeat. The PlayStation 4 has outsold the Xbox One every month this year, except for April.

"We would like to thank our fans and partners for their ongoing support of PlayStation and for making PS4 the top-selling console and No. 1 in software sales in North America in August," said Sony. "We continue to demonstrate our commitment to delivering the best content line-up with the launch of first-party exclusives like Until Dawn and third-party titles like Madden NFL 16, which sold more on PS4 than any other platform."

"In August we also saw the most successful beta in PS4 history with Call of Duty: Black Ops III, marking a significant milestone in our new partnership with Activision. We look forward to furthering momentum with the launch of Destiny: The Taken King next week."

The Xbox One did not manage to outsell the PlayStation 4, however sales for the console did increase 26 percent year-over-year.

"Xbox One continued to gain momentum in August, with sales in the U.S. up 26 percent over August 2014," said Xbox marketing boss Mike Nichols.
