Microsoft’s Xbox One has been the best-selling games console for four weeks in a row, MCV understands.
The machine has benefited from a £30 price cut, while the launch of Titanfall last week caused a surge in console sales of 96 per cent.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
Epic milestone!
After 6 years and 40 Million players, the people on N4G who called DOA on SoT must be feeling pretty stupid right now.
Especially considering that *right now* Sea of Thieves is leading Playstation Store´s pre-order charts ahead of the freaking Stellar Blade. O.o

Congratulations to everyone at RARE and Team Xbox
Devstream 178 was filled with so many cool announcements for the game's community, and were able to ask a lot of questions about Warframe: 1999 and more!
From The Growing Stones and Valkyrie Interactive comes The Mildew Children on Xbox and PC. Ready for the fairy tales and horror it brings?
Good to see both consoles doing well.
I had to rub my eyes to make sure I was reading that, right. I guess its down to titanfall and PS4 shortages, right?
A price cut or free game does help! It might get early adopters angry but it can drive further sales. There are still ppl holding back and wait for a good price cut. Sony should not rely on their success. If they want to win this clearly they should consider a price cut or a free game as well. There is nothing wrong to make it harder for the competition. If they can't release more exclusives sooner, they need to find a different way to convince those who haven't chosen a system yet.
Glad MS is doing well in the UK. What a wonderful thing a bit of a price drop and a AAA game will do for a system. I am glad the XB1 and Titanfall is doing great.
Two reasons:
1. There are more Xbox Ones in stock then there are PS4s. PS4s are still in short supply due to large demand.
2. Titanfall.
3. Slight price cut.
