Microsoft saw another double increase in sales for Xbox One following its recent price drop, but may find themselves continuing to trail Sony leading up to the holidays. Sony’s next-gen re-master for The Last of Us finished as of the highest selling game for the month. Nintendo’s Mario Kart 8 had another successful outing, now surpassing 1 million units sold in America.
